So it turns out that Yes Ann Drysdale shearer {Duncans wife} did remarry but in Lancashire not Scotland. She married Archibald Robertson. Ann died and Janet her daughter was brought up with Archibald {who then went on to marry twice more}. Unfortunately, Janet Shearer Robertson died in 1896 in Lancashire. Ann and Archibald had no children.
Thanks again everyone.

A slight twist to Janet Shearer Robertson. I found her death notice and it said dearly loved wife of Archibald Robertson. Wife that can't be right. I searched for a marriage and still I can't find anything, so I ordered her death certificate which arrived last night. Sure, enough it states she was wife of Archibald Robertson. Did they actually marry? He went on to marry Dianah Mackay and had one son. Interesting.

When he married Dinah - what was his marital status on the marriage cert

[scoobie2010]

I will have a look and get back to you.

He married Dinah in 1875 in Lancashire. Status was Widower. But then he would be as Annie Drysdale his first wife had died earlier and who was Janets mother.

After finding this census record with two Archibald Robertson's living next door to each other, I think that the first on the record is the correct one. What do you all think. But where is the marriage for him and Janet Shearer.
