  There is a Claude Robertson born in Blackheath1869.

 Parents Charles and Alice Mary both b1841, Charles in Liverpool. Alice in Sydney Aus. Following these through I find Daniel Robertson.

 Submitter Blaine Eugene Wade. 225 Dartmouth Drive. Bristol. TN37620.

 Is that  U.S.A. or England Bristol.?

 Now, please forgive if all this has been said,  I've just got in from work,
   only backread 3 pages.
 I promise to keep up from now.

Lesanne,
I'm wondering how anybody can possibly keep up, I don't envy MR doing the summaries at all.

That's not a British postcode so I suspect it must be USA.

Extra Info
TN = Tennessee but that Zip code seems to refer to a different address, 224 Edgewood Rd, Bristol but still a Wade - William J Wade and I think this might be a phone number (423)968-2418

OK everyone: by tomorrow morning (CET) I'll post details of the Robertsons we need to follow up on the SUMMARIES thread.  (It'll take me till then to sort them out!)  In the meantime, I think Pam is right to remind us that Robertson is a relatively common Scottish name, so unless new families have very similar names, locations and occupations, we could spend a lot of time on a wild goose chase.

MaryA has located George Robertson's son David (Allan's cousin) on the 1881 census.  Can anyone find him in 1891/1901?  I suppose older brother George would inherit the family firm?

                           Sorry bout that folks. 

             As Claude isn't that common a name. 
                               Thought they might be cousin's, that's all, 4 now.
