I think you are right, Ron  :) Have gone on to see potential entries for a Robert with a Saltcoats/Ardrossan connection through birth. The lack of a marriage cert for Robert and Margaret so far might be an issue with confirming this further.

Hi Sancti

I thought Partick would fit with the Govan mention for district from the IGI births etc.
