:D hello it's me again!

Donald and Christina Robertson had a 'farm servant' in 1851 census - a James Robertson from Canisbay. Donald's mother Isabella b 1766, and living at same address, was also from Canisbay.

Just wondering if anyone has these names in their tree, do you know if they were directly related to James Robertson? He's my ggrandfather.

Thanks for looking!
