Annie - Claude W is the son of Charles Robertson, artist, and Alice Mary (Lonsdale) from Sydney.  (See p.34)  We haven't found any connection between them and "our" Robertsons.

If Charles the artist and family were in England for the 1871 census, I haven't been able to find them.  Info posted p.34 of this thread is from 1881/1891 censuses.

For those who are feeling a bit lost with the Robertsons and Molisons, how about taking a look at Allan's wife Charlotte's family?  I've posted a summary of the info we have collected so far on the Muirs at http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,62822.15.html

Lots of siblings, aunts and uncles to follow up here, not to mention the challenge of trying to take the line further back!

I'm sure its been mentioned before on this thread, but apparently Simon & Garfunkle's iconic song 'Mrs Robinson' had the working title of 'Allan Robertson'.

Hence the opening lyrics:

We'd like to know
A little bit about you
For our files
