Looking for parents / siblings of Robert Fraser Marshall

[Ruth1973]

Hi everyone.
I am researching Robert Fraser Marshall who was born on 12 Dec 1907 in Wishaw, Scotland. He died in Dec 1993 in Bedfordshire.
His wife is still alive and she has given me details as much as can remember but she is 98!

The name seems to be a double barrelled one as we know his siblings also were Fraser Marshall as well but not sure if it was from their parents having the two surnames or whether it came from thier father;s side in whole.

I know that Robert had several siblings of which the names are:
John Fraser Marshall,
Janet Fraser Marshall,
Gracie Fraser Marshall,
Elizabeth Fraser Marshall known as Lizzie
Donald Fraser Marshall
Thomas Fraser Marshall (Tommy)
there may well be more but not remembered.

They were all born in Scotland and Robert left the family in 1930's for a new job in London.

Can anyone help me find Robert's siblings or parents on any records?
Thanks for reading!

Possible sibling births which will need to be ordered: dates 1912, 1916, 1919 & 1923

Moderator comment: edited to remove the names, particularly of the later births of people who may still be alive.

The children births seem to fit with the info.  I'm not finding records about but is that because they are Scottish?  I tried quite a few Scottish records sites but came up with no possible results so would love a tip on how you found the info.

My partners grandma who married Robert Fraser Marshall told me last night she called Robert's mum Scotch Grandm, that was what her children called her and couldn't remember her name although did mention a sibling called Janet so could well have been named her daughter the same.

You can view and download his birth certificate and his parents marriage certificte from the pay per view site for Scottish records

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Costs are reasonable and cheaper than ordering them. The marriage record will also give the couples parent's names which will take you back a further generation.

£6 will give you 30 credits which if used right will allow you to view and download 5 certificates

Be warned the site is addictive

Thanks for that, will go nick the boyfriends c/c, after all it's his family!

I had an Uncle by the name of Robert Fraser Marshall, born in or around Wishaw and moved to London, I remember him as a religious man. His brother (my father) was Thomas Fraser Marshall who immigrated to Canada in 1951(ish).  I know my father came from Cambusnethan, married Christina Hamilton Martin of Wishaw, my mother. Tom & Chris had three children, (*) all residing in Ontario Canada

Hi Fraser
My Robert Fraser Marshall (Bob) was a very religious man, he was christian and very strict about his religion. His wife is called Kate.

I will upload a picture of him tomorrow to let you see it.  I also have a photo of Bob with his brother Tommy which I've been told was his wedding as there are pipers in the background.

There are other family members but we don't know much about them so will put the photo up tomorrow just incase it is the same family as yours and you recognise them.

Bob's wife is still alive at the grand age of 97 (not 98).  She said they didn't have much to do with Bob's family and Lizzy in particular was not allowed to visit as she had a child without being married.  She thinks Lizzy went to Australia but isn't sure.

also we know Tommy (Thomas) was involved in the Maid of the Mist.
