Robert Little married Margaret Johnston on May 2, 1860 at Castledawson Presbyterian Church, her father the late James Johnston. They had 3 sons between 1861 and 1865, being Robert, James Johnston Little, and John Johnston.
On Dec 14, 1874, Margaret Little nee Johnston, married David Ellis.
So when did Robert Little die? He was a Physician and Surgeon so would think there would be a writeup of his death.
Thanks for any help

Do you know the mother's name and surname of Robert Little born 1835/6, father is Robert as per wedding cert.

No, I am afraid I don't. In fact, I didn't know Robert was born 1835/36, just that he was of full age in 1860.

I wonder if Robert Little emigrated to Australia as did his three sons later on.
-
My reason for asking you about his mother was there is a death of a Robert little in 1884 in Victoria (no age recorded) whose mother was Mary Ann Darcy. Death I believe in similar area as his son in 1895. Needs a bit more research , his father was also a Robert little

I presume you mean Victoria in Australia. That fits my guess. Robert Little who married Margaret Johnston did have Robert Little as a father.

Yes Victoria Australia, can you access Vic bmd’s

I just found the Robert Little who died in Victoria in 1884 with mother Mary Ann Darcy. He was born in 1883 so not our Robert. Thank you very much for looking.

According to Thom's Irish Almanac And Official Directory Of Ireland, 1868, he was still in Castledawson then. The entry indicates he gained his qualification in Edinburgh.
Can only see two Robert Little records at https://archiveandlibrary.rcsed.ac.uk/surgeon/3762786-robert-little and https://archiveandlibrary.rcsed.ac.uk/surgeon/3770451-robert-little.
The almanac entry does not indicate that Robert in Castledawson was a Fellow though. His entry reads: M.R.C.S.E., L.R.C.P. Edin.
Edited to add:
This seems to have been the chap of the 1837 record https://ornaverum.org/family/little/little-robert-1819.html
It seems odd that Robert in Castledawson's qualifications don't seem to appear in the RCSE searches. It may be worth checking this out further with assistance from https://library.rcsed.ac.uk/services/historical-enquiries.
