I can't find Robert FORREST in 1851 or 1861 census records.
Can anyone assist in locating him.
It's been eluding me for years and I keep coming back to it. Very frustrating.
Apart from the birth record, surname is FORREST in all other records. He is a Millwright on 1854 marriage and on every document thereafter.
I have the following.
OPR for Birth: 25 March 1833 Glasgow to Elphinstone FOREST and Agnes Young.
1841 census: Glasgow St Thomas; ED: 6; Page: 2; Line: 1200; Year: 1841
1851 census: Glasgow St John; ED: 25; Page: 20; Line: 13; Roll: CSSCT1851_161; Year: 1851
(This is his parents and siblings, but Robert is not there)
OPR for Marriage: 29 Dec 1854 Glasgow to Agnes Mcallister
1861 census: Glasgow Glasgow St John; ED: 6; Page: 9; Line: 16; Roll: CSSCT1861_100
(His wife, Agnes with her parents, and her and Robert's children. Robert not there)
Robert is present with family from 1871 onward.
1871 census: Glasgow Barony; ED: 105; Page: 4; Line: 22; Roll: CSSCT1871_127
1881 census: Glasgow St John; ED: 19; Page: 26; Line: 5; Roll: cssct1881_217
1891 census: Glasgow Townhead; ED: 69; Page: 20; Line: 17; Roll: CSSCT1891_251
1901 census: Old Monkland Western District; ED: 11; Page: 2; Line: 2; Roll: CSSCT1901_345
Agnes dies 22 Oct 1902
Robert remarries 8 June 1904 Glasgow to Margaret Thomson
Robert dies 26 March 1911 Uddingston
This is my gg grandfather and I have every other BDM and census record for the family line through to me, apart from those 2.
Where was he in 1851 and 1861?
Any help would be REALLY appreciated.
Cheers,
Dave
