That was my thought too, after seeing Robert in the larger image. (Possibly McReadey, though, with an extra 'e'.)

I also think it may be McReady.

I've straightened up his occupation too, to see if it helps.

Could Robert Malcolm be a Shoemaker (Jour.)?

Could Robert Malcolm be a Shoemaker (Jour.)?

Looks like it 

[dowdstree]

I have gone back and checked the births of his numerous children and he seems to have been a bagging weaver or foundry labourer latterly. Foundry labourer would be his occupation on the death record when you see it close up.

Mother's maiden name of McReady looks a good possibility.

His father's occupation could be shoemaker (Journeyman)

Still no further forward with finding his parents in any records but will keep looking.

Thank you all for your time and suggestions.
