      ** This is Christina's dtr. as she is umemployed and also verified by birth certificate 1891-401-13 hw

      on 1901 census - has taken the surname Simpson - thus either adopted or ????

      ** Christina's illegitimate Daughter, named Margaret Robertson, seems now to have the 'Simpson' surname attached - again whether he was the legal Father or whether a formal adoption was done - I do not have the data on that puzzle.
