I forgot Robina was born to William and another woman, Elizabeth is not her mother, this is why I am finding it difficult to find Robina's mothr, maybe I never will. It looks like William brought her up as his, but before his marriage to Elizabeth. Sorry for not telling the correct story.

Friends on the community site have been very helpful but I now realise they information given was for the wrong Robina.
The one I am looking for was born to William Cunningham b.1860 Perth married Elizabeth b.1861 from Cambusbarron. Their daughter was called Robina and born in 1883, this is on the 1891 census. I cannot find her on 1901 census and by 1911 she is married to Arthur Gearing and they have twin daughters.
I really would like to know where she was in 1901 and also Elizabeth Cunningham's maiden name.

The Robina we have been confused with had parents Alexander and May, they are not my relatives.
If anyone can find my Robina in 1901 I would be very grateful.
