I have now found Jean Forsyth death date 17/9/1849 and I think her parents are James Forsyth & Grisel Robertson...m.cert 30/9/1814.....this name Robertson has been the bane of my life as I couldnt find any marriage with this as the maiden name...... This name appears in my granma's m. cert and birth.
The problem I have now is trying to find Jean's birth cert.....any thoughts anyone???

Re: Update on Jean Forsyth
Thanks for that but I have already looked at this marriage as I thought this was the correct path at the start of my research....but then on my grt granmas marriage cert read that her mother was Jean forsyth....what a blow that was.....but my granmas cert states her mother as Jane Robertson Brown (Scobie) ....very confusing
Need to keep looking eh???

Re: Update on Jean Forsyth
Could she have been married before and Robertson her married name?

Re: Update on Jean Forsyth
I have their marriage cert and it states that she is spinster and her age is 20yrs so its unlikely that she was married before....I have to say that I did think that might be the answer but as I did more research realised that this was not so....I would have thought the name Forsyth would be on my gt g'mas cert rather than Robertson....really weird.
