that confuses me his wife is janet mitchell
I have his parents as alexander WOODBURN and Mary Crozier m1784 Loundoun
Have Robert born 1796 Loundoun
There are a mix of WOODBURN/MITCHELL marriages over a few generations but this doesnt stack up on this cert

Thanks all for your thoughts:)

That's likely to be coincidence. Do you have his parents' marriage? His birth is too early for a birth certificate for Robert but you may be able to find a baptism.

MAybe he married a cousin or second cousin from his mother's side of the family

What do you make his age on death in 1859? I see 44 - I don't see 63/4 which it would be if he was born 1796. DO you have 1841 & 1851 censuses for Robert, a sawer. Suggest you find a Janet Woodburn who married an Andrews (may have parents William/Janet] born a few years around Robert's birth. 

Do you have a burial record for Robert (not necessarily a headstone)? This may give age & parents' names.
