hey there
Looking for the descendants of Andrew Oliver he married a jane Burnett and  his  3 sons all from inverness:


Robert S Oliver born around 1850 have no record of what happen to him or if he has an extended family but i think he has a son ?

Duncan S Oliver born around 1857 have no record of what happen to him or if he has an extended family - i do believe he was a sea captain and well known in inverness  community when he was still  living he was survived by a nephew c.e Oliver at ness bank couldn't find info on him

Alexander B Oliver I have all the info on this individual  - my great great great grandfather

UPDATE: there was also a 4th son born June 20th 1963  named Andrew Oliver I only found his birth certificate and a census of him when he was 7 but nothing further more !? Not sure what happened to him 

i have attached some info aswell that maybe can give a clue if there is a connection

Hi , welcome to RC 

What date was that first Newspaper item ?
That should give you the enough information for a death certificate.

There is a death for a Duncan Stewart Oliver in 1891 Inverness , age 79.

There is a profile of Robert Stewart Oliver in Graces Guide (good old google - just enter his name and Inverness).

He was born on the 8th July 1849, son of Mr Andrew Olver,a well known agriculturalist in Stratherrck in his time.

 He did an apprenticeship of four years with William Patterson, engineer and land surveyor Inverness. In 1871 he joined the Highland Railway Company and was involved as engineer in , for example, the construction of te Sutherland and Caithness Railway and the completion of the Aviemore line.

In 1899 he purchased the estate of Raddery in the Black Isle, Ross-shire and at the time of his death was involved in improving that property.


Further to this he is shown at Ness  Bank with his mother in the 1891  census - occupation civil engineer and unmarried - no evidence of a son (but that does not mean there wasn't one!).
