Not sure if I can find much about Robert - not an unusual name (I've got one as well so know the probs!)

I'll check for him later today if no one else has found him

Hi again 

Think I've found them 

1881
Bandscotdrum, Saline, Fife
District 455 ED 5 Page 4

David Bryce, hd, 36, farmer of 130 Ac employing 2 boys and 1 girl, b. Culross, Perth
(his family and servants)
and:
Jessie Stalker, serv, 16, Domestic Servant, b. Dunkeld, Perth
Robert Wilson, serv, 16, farm servant, b. Melrose, Roxburgh


Gadget  (just popping off to Melrose now    )

This looks like Robert in 1891:

29 Richmond Place, Edinburgh St Cuthberts
District 685/5 ED 23 page 9

William Wilson, hd, 52, Labourer - general, b. Melrose
(others)
Robert Wilson, cousin, 26, gardener, b. Melrose

Got a few possible births for Robert - I'm trying to eliminate

Hi again 

About the closest that I can get is:

Ladhope, Roxburgh

2 May 1865  Robert Stirling Wilson to Thomas Wilson and Mary Ann Irvine

This is an IGI Extracted record but will also be on SP.

Ladhope is a quod sacra parish of Melrose (I think between Melrose and Galashiels)

I can't be certain that this is him as I don't see him on the 1871 with parents.

Do you still neeed info on Catherine Drysdale or will you be able to check BMDs and census info?


Gadget

[hobbit_49635]

If you have access and don't mind, any info you can give would be great

Cheers

From the wedding entry, Catherine's parents were George Drysdale, a joiner and Eliabeth m.s Moir.

The IGI has a marriage for George and Elizabeth on 25th August 1876, Alloa. This is a patron submitted entry so will need checking against Scotlands people.  The sbmission also lists Elizabeth's parents as Robert Moir and Christina McIvor and a death and burial for Elizabeth 11th and 14th April 1909 at Alva, Clackmannanshire. This death will also be on the Scotland's People site.

I'll check the censuses.
