Again I have not been able to find her birth though one source says she was born in Nesting another says Lunnasting. How the couple came together I don't know. After her husband died it seems the home at Twatt broke up as there is no entry for breck in the 1871 census. In that same census she appears with Laurence, her son, as head of the house at North House Aith. He is recorded as being an imbicile. She died at Stennistwatt, Walls having been registered by the Poor Inspector. How did she get there from North House? bayannie.info/Shetland has Robina born at Vementry, Aithsting
