Find Ancestors

I wonder if I could ask a big favour , could someone please find a death for Robert stevenson b.c 1859 in Glasgow , I have him on the 1891 scottish census with his family , just used up all my credits and can't afford any more till next week,
Thank you

Jean

Do you have any more information there are 15 Robert Stevenson b 1859+/- 3 died in Glasgow and 51 Scotland wide since 1891

Aileen,
Thanks for replying,
I think glasgow as that is where he was born and lived until 1891,

Jean

Sorry I should have been clearer....what was his occupation, wifes name etc

I'm sorry too , should have put more up,
his occupation was carriage driver , wife's name Sarah nee Newall, parents Allan and Elizabeth McNicol,

Jean

Thought I had narrowed it down as Sarah remarried in1905 but didn't find Robert's death between 1891-1905 in Glasgow......do you know if he also remarried?

Ah they were divorced in 1899......a rare event in those days

I'm sorry Aileen ,
I don't know if did re marry , I haven't found him in 1901,
Thanks for all your help, it's much appreciated.
Jean

Just seen your mention of divorce, that's unusual for those times isn't it?
Where did you find that ?

If you look at a marriage record on ScotlandsPeople you may see in red RCE
this means that there has been something added to one of the records....mostly divorces for marriage records, inquest results for deaths and paternity for births

Thanks for that information , must have a look when I get more credits,

Jean

This looks very promising going by occupation , I never thought of him remarrying, the son John aged 11 would fit too, John is on the 1891 aged 1 .

Jean

Thanks for all your help tonight Aileen,
it's much appreciated

Yes it was the son John that made me think it may well be the family and also the daughter called Sarah.
Still not sure of his death though just to many to look at. Might try to find the marriage but not tonight

Ok just couldn't leave it....

1899 STEVENSON ROBERT GARDNER MAGGIE BLYTHSWOOD GLASGOW/LANARK

Maggie died 1917 and was a widow so Robert died sometime between 1901-1917...if it was Glasgow that gives 5 options

Found it......

1916 STEVENSON ROBERT M 57 GARNGADHILL GLASGOW CITY/LANARK

March 3rd

Aileen,
Thank you so much for finding the marriage and deaths for Robert and his second wife Maggie, I wonder if the children Sarah and Archiebald on the 1901 census were Robert and Sarah's or Robert and Maggie's,
I will check next week on Scotland's people, Thank you once again,

best wishes
Jean

Sarah is given as 9yrs old on the 1901 census and Archibald as 6yrs. I think they would both be Sarah's children.

Do you want the details from the marriage and death certs?

Aileen,
Yes please I would love any information on them,

best wishes
jean
