Certainly in 1911 he was a Railway guard but in 1924 when he went to Ireland he was a RSM in the Irish Guards (although I no proof of this). His wife Margaret worked at Kilkenny Castle. I have their marriage in Shettleston in 1911. Margaret & Robert had three sons, & a daughter, & although the daughter who incidently is 85, & has her wits about her, isnt very cooperative. The sons I cannot find, although I am working on born between 1911-1921, Robert, William & name possible Hubert or Hugh. Margaret's family I have managed to trace, but not Roberts.
I know his parents were Janet Robertson (Robson) & Joseph Russell (an Iron turner). Janet was born around 1841 in Glasgow, Janet's mother's name was Catherine Robertson born around 1808 Glasgow, Father unknown. In 1891 Census they were living at 338 Duke Street Camlachie. I would be grateful for any assistance. Regards Pauline
