Janet Robertson origin

Why two Janets? Consider the possibility that Janet II is the blood-niece of Janet I, and that she and David Edney are first cousins.

1st Gen: John Robertson = Janet Blyth

2nd Gen: a) Margaret Ritchie = James Rob_n & b) Janet Rob_n = William Edney

3rd Gen: a) Janet Robertson ============= b) David Edney

However, could not find a baptism for a James Robertson to a John & Janet in the right place/time. Anyone have other ideas?

I know it's a basic effort, but can only find one Janet Robertson baptised in Ferryport around the right time which might place her in a position to marry William Edney. It's a 1747 baptism to parents John Robertson & Janet Blyth at Ferryport on Craig.

Alternate Janet

There is a record on familysearch.org for a Janet Robertson born to Andrew Robertson and Elizabeth (isobel) Todd, born on 12 Dec 1742 in DUNDEE. Given Dundee was only a short distance from Tayport, possible connection?? She also had a brother James, born 1758. Unfortunately it doesn't list any marriage or children of either. If this is a connection to either Janet, then it provides people back to about 1600. But its a long shot.
