There are several Tofton /Fyfe births. Mabel Tofton married Mr Robertson so Geoff is probably correct.

Hi All
I have now had a chance to digest all the information I have been given by you generous people and to do a good bit of digging myself. A couple of questions still remain.
1.   What happened to Mary Isabel Campbell or Fyfe b 1904 Grimsby? Since she does not appear in the 1911 Census with her father and brothers, we must presume that she died as an infant. Unfortunately I can’t seem to locate her death.
2.   Geoff-E Where did you get the information that Mrs Robertson (Mabel Pauline Tofton) was William Fyfe’s housekeeper and that the children “were written as Robertson”? My information is Mabel Tofton married Frank William Robertson in 1906. They had no children but Mabel (in her maiden name) subsequently had 4 children with William Fyfe viz Alexander b 1913; Christina b 1915; John D b 1917 and Clifford b 1919. Nothing more sinister than that.
Cheers

Hello again,
Have you looked at 1911 yourself? You need to do that as we are unable to post any information other than that which is available in the free index.

If you search the index on Family Search for Robertson in Cleethorpes, there may be some clues there.
For example, this looks to be Mary Isobel https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7YV-NV6

Regards
Heywood

These are the Robertsons in Cleethorpes.

The last ones look to be a family maybe.

There is a birth for Margaret Sylvia Fyfe in 1911, Free BMD.

Hi Heywood
No I don't have access to the 1911 Census in England. I was relying on what KGarrad told me earlier.

As I have shown, you can access the indexes on Family Search

I have done so and I am a bit confused or naive
Why is Mary Isabel Fyfe or Campbell living with James Robertson's family. Was she adopted?
Why have other members of the same family got Fyfe as a middle name?
