I will begin with my great grandfather, John R. Robertshaw.
Keep an eye on his middle name and see where that leads… 

John Raby Robertshaw  b. 6 Sept 1881  -  d. 18 June 1962, was the son of Nelson Robertshaw  b. 8 Oct 1852  -  d. 21 Dec 1937, and Lindsey “Linnie” Raby  b. 19 April 1858 in Geddington  -  d. 3 May 1939. Linnie and Nelson were married in Orillia, Ontario, Canada, on 28 April 1875.
Linnie (as she was known) was one of six children born to William Raby  b. 1 Jan 1822 in Great Oakley  (I’m not sure when he died at this time), and Mary Ann Smith  b. 26 Dec 1825 in Weston By Welland. The two were wed on the 18 Nov 1844.
William was the youngest of two children born to Robert Raby  b. 3 July 1796 in Great Oakley  -  d. 7 June 1852, and Elizabeth Dorr  b. 27 July 1789 in Kettering  -  d. 29 Nov 1857.  Robert and Elizabeth married on 14 May 1815. This was Elizabeth’s second marriage as her first husband, William Ploughright/Plowright, left her as a widow.

Now, this is where things get a little tricky-

We know FOR SURE that Robert’s parent’s names were William Raby and Mary Franklin. It’s the dates we’re not 100% sure on, but, we are close to having that known for sure, also. READ ON…. 

Robert was the son of William Raby  b. (not sure yet - possibly 1730), and Mary Franklin  b. 1763  in Weldon. The two were wed on the 1Jan 1789.
