It really boils down to what is fact on certificates. You must work back from the latest record you have, back them up by looking at records or certificates. Do you have transcripts from Scotland or have you seen images? Do you have census details in Scotland? Can we go by the latest information and go back? It would be much easier and also to add to BCC? Jo
I havent found anything on census NL I'd first like to know the latest census? Say 1911 or 1901? That would be a good start? Jo Oops just changed that! must have kept my finger on 1 too long!
May be, if you have it Kay, you could put on a more recent information you have. Like who James, g father married, where he was living etc? Then we can go from there? All the variations of Rollinsons let alone Robinsons! Just my thoughts any how. Jo
I see what you mean about establishing John as father of James. They lived together in Scotland. Will that do?
