Does anyone have any information on Robert Eglington, he was in the Army for many years and also I understand was in charge of Stirling Military? Prison.  Also I believe he had a hardware store.  Any info appreciated, Thx Kathy

Yes, Robert was born in Norfolk, and was said to run away to join the Army, fibbing about his age.  That is why there is c. 1884, could be a couple of years out.

Emerson Eglington was my great uncle and Douglas Eglington was my grandfather.  They are both buried in Logiekirk cemetery Stirling.  Emerson died the day before I was born in September 1985.
