Lanarkshire / Re: Help required tracing Robert Forrest in 1851 or 1861 census or elsewhere.

Hi Dave,
It isn't as good as a census, but the attached 1862 report of a fatal accident at "Carluke Grain and Flour Mill, belonging to Mr Robert Forrest" is some evidence that he was in Carluke in 1862 (if it is the right Robert Forrest). The High Mill was owned and operated by William Dick at the time, so I assume that this story refers to the Low Mill (watermill).
Hope it helps,
Anne
