On the 1911 census, Elizabeth Robertson, widow states she has been married 32 years. This put the marriage at approx 1879

Thank you. I have a copy of Harvey Young ROBERTSON’s birth certificate (my grandfather) born 5th February 1891 showing his mother’s maiden name as Elizabeth Robertson nee Pearson, that’s where I got the connection for her from.
I thought her parents were John Pearson & Christina Sharpe and that her birth was listed as Cupar Fife.
I shall keep hunting thanks

One lead is that on 1881 census (as Robson) John states he was bc.1853 Spittal, Berwickshire and
Elizabeth bc.1854 Coldstream, Berwickshire.


Also on the 1881 census is James Pearson, lodger who was probably Elizabeth's brother
He also gives his birthplace as Coldstream, Berwickshire


On the 1911 census, Elizabeth Robertson, widow states she has been married 32 years.

This put the marriage at approx 1879


Sorry no luck finding the elusive marriage for Elizabeth Pearson to John Robertson/Robson  ???

Thanks for the update. It would seem that Betty Richardson is in fact the grandmother of Catherine
I can’t find a wedding either I’ll keep trying.Outlaw
