'"Who are the parents of Janet Robertson (1831 - 1912) (or honestly, anything more about her). Her parents are my only ggg grandparents I don't know. This is a Scotland request (Perthshire)"'
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Robertson-7217
Name
I'm going to call her Jessie, though I suspect she was actually born Janet due to both names being used in the various records While the names Janet and Jessie are interchangeable in Scotland, lassies that are born/registered Jessie don't tend to ever use the name Janet.. not 100% a given but as a general observation
Death cert
I started by trying to verify that the quoted details for the given death date in the profile are indeed the right Jessie (due to comments on the profile), I do believe they are the right ones as managed to trace Jessie in the 1901 and 1911 census to prove she was actually still with her son Charles and alive in 1911..
Jessie's date of death is 7th March 1912, registered in Rescobie, Angus, Jessie's death (age 81) was registered in 1912 in the Rescobie district.[1]
transcription of the cert.
- Name: Jessie Robertson, widow of Robert Robertson, Shepherd
- Date/Place: 7th March 1912, Glebe Cottage, Rescobie
- Father: John Robertson, farmer (deceased)
- Mother: Elizabeth Robertson m.s. Stewart (deceased)
- Registrant: Charles Robertson, son, present
"present" usually infers the registrant is from the same address, which would seem likely given the 1901 and 1911 census' show Jessie to be living with her son Charles and his family.
The following may now be out of order as I build a timeline to try to expplain why we think the named parents on Jessies death cert are not right, and the presumed parents are..
Back to the Wish
None of the above actually confirms the parents, but wanted to make sure was starting off from the right place
Death cert. registered by her son Charles names Jessie's parents as John Robertson and Elizabeth Stewart, I can find no trace of a birth or family with those names., there are a couple of James Robertson and Elizabeth Stewart families in the area but none with a Janet/Jessie in the right timeframe or place, I've have eliminated all of them.
I am aware that parents details on a death cert may not be accurate as, quite simply, the Son or Daughter registering the death (especially sons!) may just not have known, however usually the mothers' maiden name is correct, the fathers first name could be made up for the sake of respectability or he may have used a middle name as his first name (unrecorded but a name the family just knew him by to discern from his father or close cousins with a same first name)
In short I started by presuming that the presumed "best fit birth" (To a Charles Robertson and Elizabeth Petrie) listed on Janets profile is possibly not correct, though there is a Janet born to them at around the right time, neither of their names fit with the death record and Janet/Jessie is such a popular name. Update: read on.. All conventional roads do seem to lead to them!
There were some more possibilites, see thoughts and findings / research notes that might warrant further investigation..
- John Robertson and Elizabeth or Isabella Stewart
- Duncan Robertson and Elizabeth / Betty / Betsy Stewart (one of their daughters, Ann Robertson (1835-1912), has her mother as Elizabeth Petrie on death )
1841 Census
I suspect that this might be a possible for Jessie (as Janet) in the household of the Rev. Peter Drummond and his wife Catherine Syme in Kirkmichael in the 1841 census. (update: it's a more than an "I suspect" now, it's very likely)
In the 1841 census Janet (age 10), F S, was in Kirkmichael, Kirkmichael, Perthshire.[2]
| Name | Sex | Age | Occupation | Birth Place |
| Peter Drummond | M | 50 | Minister | Perthshire, Scotland |
| Catherine Drummond | F | 40 | Scotland | |
| James Drummond | M | 15 | Scotland | |
| Emily Drummond | F | 15 | Scotland | |
| David Drummond | M | 15 | Scotland | |
| Andrew Drummond | M | 13 | Scotland | |
| Janet Anderson | F | 20 | F S | Perthshire, Scotland |
| Janet Robertson | F | 10 | F S | Perthshire, Scotland |
the abbreviation F.S. means "Female Servant", that doesn't mean to say Janet was actually a servant at age 10, although it's not improbable, it was sometimes just the nicest way to describe a young child's place in the household in 1841 terms.
It was not ususual for orphans or children from poorer families to be taken in by the local "manse" (home of the Minister and his wife). The Drummonds seem to have come from Braemar to Kirkmichael around about 1830-1835.
1851 Census
possible 1851 Census connection
this one was always just a circumstantial connection, however given all the other facts that have emerged this elf believes that this is Janet/Jessie , in the same household as her brother James (a shepherd) is the same person, a place of birth might have connected this step..
In the 1851 census Jessie (age 20), General Servant, was the servant of Thomas Ferguson at Ashmore Farm, Blairgowrie, Perthshire.[3]
| Name | Relation | Status | Sex | Age | Occupation | Birth Place |

1861 Census
In the 1861 census Jess (age 28), Ploughmans Wife, was the head of household in Westquarter, Alyth, Perthshire.[4]

1871 Census
In the 1871 census Jessie (age 38) was the wife of Robert Robertson in The Bog, Kirriemuir, Angus.[5]
| Name | Relation | Status | Sex | Age | Occupation | Birth Place |
| Robert Robertson | Head | M | 39 | Farm Serv (ploughman) | Lintrathen, forfarsh | |

| Susan Robertson | Daughter | F | 7 | Clunie, perthsh | ||
| Robert Robertson | Son | M | 2 | Lintrathen, forfarsh |
1871 Census Connection
It's also in this 1871 census that we make a very strong connection to James (Jessie's likely brother) and Elizabeth PETRIE (Jessie's likely mother) with the "niece" Mary, Mary and Charles (aged 10 in 1871) were twins, but they were not in the same household (as per the census posted above, Charles was with his parents, but Mary was not there).
However we find James and his mother Elizabeth (Petrie) in the same household along with a niece Mary.. I suspect that Mary is not the niece of Elizabeth (ages would suggest not) but is instead the niece of James (perhaps he filled out the census return being the man of the house?) and that would confirm James as Jessie's brother and Elizabeth Petrie as her grandmother and Jessie's mother
In the 1871 census James (age 42), Shepherd, was the son of Elizabeth Robertson at 20 George Street, Blairgowrie, Perthshire.[6]
| Name | Relation | Status | Sex | Age | Occupation | Birth Place |
| Elizabeth Robertson | Head | F | 68 | Formerly Domestic Servant | Kirkmichael, Perthshire | |
| James Robertson | Son | M | 42 | Shepherd | Kirkmichael, Perthshire | |
| Mary Robertson | Niece | F | 10 | Scholar | Clemer, Perthshire |
1881 Census
In the 1881 census Jessie (age 47) was the wife of Robert Robertson in Mains Of Pitcur, Kettins, Angus.[7] In the 1881 census Jessie (age 47) was the wife of Robert Robertson in Mains Of Pitcur, Kettins, Angus.[8]
1891 Census
In the 1891 census Jessie (age 59) was the wife of Robert Robertson in Craigend, Brechin, Angus.[9]
| Name | Relation | Status | Sex | Age | Occupation | Birth Place |
| Robert Robertson | Head | M | 59 | Farm Servant | Lintrathen, Forfarshire | |

1901 Census
In the 1901 census Jessie (recently widowed) (age 62) was the mother of Charles Robertson at Cotton House, Auchterhouse, Angus. (also the birthplace of Charles' youngest daughter Joan) [10]
| Name | Relation | Status | Sex | Age | Occupation | Birth Place |
| Charles Robertson | Head | M | 40 | Farm S In Charge Of Horses | Lintrathen, Forfarshire | |
| Elizabeth Robertson | Wife | F | 32 | Brechin, Forfarshire | ||

| James Robertson | Son | M | 4 | Glamis, Forfarshire | ||
| Joan Robertson | Daur (daughter) | F | 1 | Auchterhouse, Forfarshire | ||
| Jessie Robertson | Mother | F | 62 | Kirkmichael, Perthshire |
Charles wife of 1901, Elizabeth Gowans, died in 1904 in Liff and Bervie Angus, so Charles literally could have been anywhere in 1911, but I reckoned he was possibly still taking care of his mother in some shape or form, if not in the same house then close by.
this 1901 record is already quoted in the profile but I just wanted to put it together with the 1911 census, which I eventually found, to show Charles with a different wife, and this time with his mother named Janet.. it was daughter Joan that enabled the 1911 census find / connection.
1911 Census
It appears Charles remarried, to an Isabella G ? (could the G mean Gowans and she's possibly a relation of Elizabeth Gowans?). I tried looking for a marriage but can't find one, they may have been married in name only?
Jessie (this time Janet) is still with living with her son Charles, his 2nd wife Isabella, and Charles' youngest daughter Joan.
The address is given as: Mill of Inverarity Cottage, Inverarity, Angus
| Name | Relation | Status | Sex | Age | Occupation | Birth Place |

Thoughts and findings
There is always the possiblilty that Janet/Jessie may have been illegitimate or an unrecorded birth, and/or son Charles may not have known his grandparents, however, in the main in Scotland even with unrecorded/illegitimate births usually the mothers' maiden name is correct, unless, which could be the case in this instance, Jessie herself did not know!
I cannot find any births to an an Elizabeth Stewart (various spelling variants checked), I also tried looking for a marriage for an Elizabeth Stewart/Stuart to perhaps someone else around the same time or a few years later, but that is like looking for a needle in a haystack when there is no familial/location connection to the possible illegitimate child (in my experience)
There is no trace of a Janet in the 1841 census where she could be a "relative" of someone else (i.e. same surnames Robertson or Stewart in the household). Of course while the 1841 census does not give family relationships it can be useful if you do find "possible relatives"
to do
try to find Jessie in the 1851 census, though by then, aged 20, she could have been working anywhere and it's not likely to give any further clues,
Update ref. 1851 : may have found Jessie in Blairgowrie, which is where she got married, however it doesn't give her place of birth, she may have been a farm servant in a household along with a James Robertson who is a shepherd (like her husband Robert) however there's no place of birth for Jessie or James to be able to say for sure.. James could be her brother? (very likely now given further clues)
In the 1851 census Jessie (age 20), General Servant, was the servant of Thomas Ferguson at Ashmore Farm, Blairgowrie, Perthshire.[11]
try to find Jessie in the 1861 census, - found this time as Jess (without her husband Robert, who may have been boarding at the farm he was working on as a ploughman/farm servant, but with her four eldest children) In the 1861 census Jess (age 28), Ploughmans Wife, was the head of household in Westquarter, Alyth, Perthshire.[12]

... maybe see if Robert has related/connected family.. the Robertson families in the Kirkmichael/Blairgowrie/Angus area were numerous though, so perhaps another rabbit hole.
build out son Charles' profile to include children and spouse(s) as that's who Jessie lived with laterally as per the second part of the wish to know any other information? .. in progress... done..
Research Notes
One possibility is that Janet/Jessie is the daughter of John Robertson (abt.1807-1867) and Isabella (Stewart) Robertson (abt.1809-1865). They lived in Perth parish during this time period. Profiles were created for John, Isabella, and their children.
There are three concerns with this possibility: 1) The names Elizabeth and Isabella are not interchangeable, although they are similar enough to possibly be mistaken for each other. For example, one of the children listed with John and Isabella on the 1841 census, Robert Robertson (1837-), has a likely birth/baptism record naming Elizabeth Stewart as the mother. 2) Later census records show Janet/Jessie's birth in Kirkmichael, rather than Perth parish. 3) Janet/Jessie's son is named Charles, rather than John. Although naming conventions aren't always followed, sons are often named after grandfathers and the name Charles doesn't appear in either family.
The second possibility is that the death record is incorrect and Janet/Jessie is the daughter of Charles Robertson and Elizabeth Petrie, as followed by many other trees.
POSSIBILITY only due to Blairgowrie location, and Farm with Shepherd.. Jessie married her husband Robert Robertson (shepherd) in 1854 in Blairgowrie. Usually marriages took place in the brides Parish, however if Jessie had no family in Kirkmichael she would have got married in the Parish were she worked, OR due to new facts it seems her family could have actually been in Blairgowrie by now too
There are no address detail or witnesses at their 1854 marriage which could help confirm or deny a connection to this family. Marriage is just recorded as: Robert in this Parish (Blairgowrie) and Jessie Robertson in Kirkmichael, so can't confirm any "sponsors" or witnesses which might have helped determine a connection to this family. Note that even if Jessie did work in Blairgowrie at this time, if her parents were still in Kirkmichael (Charles and Elizabeth Petrie were) that is where she would be registered as coming from as she was baptised there.
In the 1851 census Jessie (age 20), General Servant, was the servant of Thomas Ferguson at Ashmore Farm, Blairgowrie, Perthshire.[13]

I wonder if the James Robertson (Shepherd) in this household is a relation of Jessie's soon to husband Robert? or if Jessie is the daughter of Charles Robertson and Elizabeth Petrie this could actually be her brother as their son James was a shepherd all his life (Update: it seems very likely James (the shepherd) was Janet/Jessie's brother!)
Roads that lead to Charles Robertson and Elizabeth Petrie
- naming conventions - reverse naming suggests that Jessies parents were a Charles and an Elizabeth
- While they were still in Kirkmichael still in 1854, they had other family in Blairgowrie at this time and Jessie's parish at the time of her marriage was listed as Kirmichael, even though she got married in Blairgowrie. Jessie and possible brother James seem to be working together in 1851, and brother Donald/Daniel is also listed in Blairgowrie in 1865.. yeah big gap.. but the threads are thin on thiese connections
- Charles and Elizabeth's son James was a shepherd all his life (traceable to 1871 census)
- 1841 census they were in Kirkmichael without their daughter Janet/Jessie, which might explain why she was the Janet/Jessie in the manse (household of the Drummonds posted above)
- Charles and Elizabeth Petrie name one of their son's Clark Robertson, Jessie and Robert name one of their sons George Clark Robertson, Clark was not a very common first name in these families
None of the above is conclusive by any means but is very likely why they look like the best fit couple.
We have profiled as much of Charles Robertson (abt.1795-1865) andElizabeth (Petrie) Robertson (bef.1802-) family as possible and here is the link to "their" Janet, Janet Robertson (1831-), as it says in the profile it could well turn out to be a duplicate of this Janet, but we leave it up to others to decide.
DNA
Perhaps DNA could confirm either way. limited DNA matches (via Gedmatch) were able to be accessed during the SS period and while it confirmed connections up to this Janet/Jessie and her husband Robert, with both Jessie and Robert having the surname Robertson it could prove tough to get past that with so many trees, ancestry and familysearch, already being copied. A definite DNA connection to either Charles Robertson or Elizabeth Petrie would "seal the deal" as far as this elf is concerned!
The initial DNA connection that was found was via both the sons of George Clark Cameron Robertson (abt.1874-1944)
Update / Timeline via new Census 1861/1871 info found
It is now presumed that Janet/Jessies parents were indeed Charles Robertson (abt.1795-1865) and Elizabeth (Petrie) Robertson (bef.1802-) the clues to putting together this Jigsaw puzzle now outweigh the recorded facts, in that we can trace Janet/Jessie from her 1831 birth to her 1912 death
given the notes/research we think that this is Jessie's timeline:
- 1831: birth to parents Charles Robertson and Elizabeth Petrie.
- 1841 : a female servant in the household of Rev.Peter Drummond and Catherine Syme in Kirkmichael, Pertshire (with her parents living close by!)
- 1851: a general servant at Ashmore Farm, Blairgowrie, with her brother James being a shepherd in the same household
- 1854: Marriage to Robert Robertson in Blairgowrie
- 1861: Head of the household, Ploughmans wife, with her four "eldest children" in Alyth, Perthshire (without Robert but he was possibly boarding at the farm he was working on)
- 1871: Jessie can be found with her husband Robert in Kirriemuir, Angus and Robert and her children, Charles Robertson (aged 10) , Andrew Robertson( aged 7), Susan Robertson(aged 7), and Robert Robertson(aged 2).. this is a very telling connection as it is also the 1871 Census where we find her brother James, with mother Elizabeth Robertson (Petrie) and a NIECE Mary Robertson (aged 10) Mary aged 10 is very very likely the twin of Charles, i.e. Jessie's daughter.. and she's not the Niece of Elizabeth (Petrie) , but instead the Niece of James who possibly filled out the census, being the man of the house
- 1881: Jessie can be found in Mains of Pitcur, Angus, along with husband Robert and children, Charles Robertson (19), Andrew Robertson (15), Robert Robertson (12) and George C Robertson (7). George C Robertson is George Clark Robertson.. the middle name Clark is another big clue in this family as the name Clark was further used in his descendents
- 1891: Jessie again can be found with her husband Robert, at Craigend, Brechin, Angus this time with only their son George (Clark) still at home
- 1901: Jessie's husband Robert dies pre census, at Goukton Farm, Kinfauns, Perthshire, Scotland, and in the 1901 Census Jessie, recently widowed is then found with her son Charles and his family in Auchterhouse, Angus
- 1911: Jessie (this time Janet) can still be found with her son, his new wife Isabella G. (Charles' first wife Elizabeth having died in 1904, Liff and Bervie, Angus) and Charles' youngest daughter Joan. address Mill of Inverarity Cottage, Inverarity, Angus (as shown earlier in these notes)
- 1912 : Janet/Jessies death and the only thing that now doesn't fit is the parents names as given by son Charles, however there could be various reasons for this and the Elves have been unable to find anything that would contradict the findings in the timeline above
