William & Miriam Robertson circa 1840's
Anybody have anything on this couple? Or better yet, anybody researching them? I believe they lived in Sophiasburg but prior to that I believe in the Fredericksburg area.
They do not appear as of the 1851 census though so I suspect they might have both died by then, but left behind some rather young children - Reuben, Lucy and Henry as well a possible Melissa all born circa 1838-1843 range.
I am interested in Melissa specifically and have already searched Ancestry.ca....for odds and sods on the family.
Thanks all

Lydia was my 3 cousin 3X removed. M. May 24 1881 Picton, and had two children Kenneth R. and Lena Gertrude. Is this of any help? Janice

HI Janice
Thanks, I was not sure what Miriam's maiden name was.
I am thinking William & Miriam died 'young' as I cannot seem to find them on the 1851 census.... Thus perhaps leaving their young children scattered amongst neighbours etc.
I appreciate the hand.

Your Welcome Susan, Mellisa Robertson,age 19 born Sophiasburg, married Willet Brooks of Hungerford. son of George and Letty Brooks in Hastings Mar 2 1860.(Letty is Charlotte Benedict) That is all I have on her. If her parents were in Sophiasburg there was no cenus taken for that Twp.for 1851. Janice

William died when his girls were very young. Miriam remarried a Phil Cunningham who was an excellent father to the girls. Melissa & Louisa both ended up in Michigan, Mellissa married an Adam Catlin and Louisa married Willett Brooks. Melissa had three children and Louisa had 11. Louisa was my great grandmother.
