Mary Agnes married James North from Oldham Hampshire in 1919 in Loanhead Midlothian while he was in the Army. In 1921 Census they are in Edinburgh with Son William John aged 1y 6mths. She is from Tinwald Dumfries.
In 1901 she is with Sister Jane and Parents Janet think nee Kerr and John Robinson, in Tinwald. Cant find any births for the girls or marriage for the parents. Been on Scotlandpeople and found lots of info but not that. Please can anyone help?

The daughter Jane was born before John & Janet's marriage, so likely an illegitimate child of Janet.

Thank you Argy'Gran had found the other 2 but not her or Jane's birth .Did you find that in Scotlandpeople? Thank You.

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 8 May 2023 17:29

Yes, in Scotlands People.

Note the name is Robison, not Robinson

Carol Report 8 May 2023 17:37

Yes Robinson is on the marriage I think. Think that John in 1891 is too young at 13. Jane was born 1892 and they married in 19898 not long before Mary was born. But as you say it could be a Daughter from another marriage. Thank You

Purely as point of info
