I've already made contact with a few of you re the Robertson side of this thread but now it's kindly been unlocked I'm going to see if I can reach more of you. Forgive me if you had all you could take three years ago, and ignore this post!
I am a descendant of Charles Macrae Robertson, b. 1833, Stepney, and when I came across this challenge I was over the moon and stunned and amazed by how much you achieved in such a short time. It's been a real help to me and given me loads of leads thankyou very much.

But here's the thing: I have a couple of mysteries involving Charles' family. It may be that too much time has passed, but I wonder if any of you could bear to think about this again?? In which case, read on.......
To remind you, if you're still with me:
The oldest brother was George, b. 2 Mar 1820, Stepney, with his twin Helen who died 1861.
Then came Colin Douglas, b. 23 Apr 1824, Ratcliff, Middsx, died 1862
Archibald, b. 3 Mar 1825 (I never found any further record of Archibald)
Hugh Moodie, b. 18 Dec 1828, Stepney, died 1865 in Derby, according to your researc
Agnes, b. 20 Dec 1830, Stepney
Charles Macrae, b. 25 May 1833, Stepney, died 1877 (suicide)
John, b. 23 Jan 1835, Stepney, died pre-1881
Mary, b. 27 Nov 1837, Stepney
Janet/Jane, b. 6 Feb 1840, Stepney,
James (Allan's father), b. 8 Sep 1842, Stepney, died 1877
You'll see that most of them died young, between 1861 and about 1877. The only one I know died at a good old age was George who hung on till 1905.
I found details of some of their burials in Toxteth Park Cemetery, and this is where two of my mysteries arise.
Colin Douglas is in a separate grave to the others, but with him is one James Robertson and James' wife Isabella nee Hamilton. He was born about 1799 in Scotland (but I can't pin him down) and they were married in Greenock Old and West in 1830. In 1851 he was a commission merchant in Toxteth Park, and I have found reference to a James, merchant, in Toxteth, in the 1825 Gore Directory of Liverpool. My problem is: how does he fit in with the family? I have built up quite an extensive tree, going back to C18th Bute, and I can't make a link, and I imagine there was one if they shared a grave. Or perhaps that's a wrong assumption....?
Also, in the main plot with George's family is an Esther Robertson, wife of Archibald Douglas Robertson. Archibald died in 1866 in the Rainhill Asylum and has a separate grave. Again, I'm presuming a connection but can't actually find one. Archibald was born about 1821 in Liverpool but I can't find his birth. In 1861 he was a pawnbroker (breaking the pattern of marine services and merchanting). Esther was also born in Liverpool ca. 1823. Who were they?

?
I also need help with Charles Macrae's offspring following his suicide (by which time they were orphans).....
If anyone has read this far and has any ideas I'd be very very grateful!
Thanks so much,
Nick
