Title: Robert Lamont b Glasgow?
Post by: Cockneyrebel on Wednesday 02 January 19 11:04 GMT (UK)
The above, not to be confused with Lamond in my previous post, married Marion Henderson (1819-1845) 29 Jun 1842 St George in the Fields Church, Glasgow; he was a shipping agent but no dob or other details are known about him. They had a daughter Euphemia b 1 Apr 1843 Glasgow who m William Kirkwood (1841-1885) 18 Dec 1873 Glasgow and they had 3 children. Robert was named as her father at the wedding and was by then a Commission Agent.

Son William 14 Jan 1845

Was this Marions birth record, born East Lothian?
HENDERSON   MARION   JOHN HENDERSON/EUPHEMIA SANDERSON    24/08/1819   Haddington

If that is correct Roberts father was likely William?

1841 census  family in Argyle St. Glasgow all except youngerst child born out of County.

Thank you one and all for your superb research. He last appeared on the 1891 census at Lewisham, so guess he passed away there?
Marion was the daughter of James and Euphemia as you say. The church was a very ornate looking place but now flats, how sad?

Trish, can I ask about this, especially the date provided?
There is no 1881 marriage listed on SP

My relative was called Robert Lamont and his wife ( who was previously married and widowed)  was called Grace Burns.
They married in Glasgow in 1871 and whilst his mother's name was Smith, my Robert is not connected to the family in this thread?

Her half brother married in Glasgow also 14 Mar 1881
Robert Smith Lamond to Grace Burns

I thought it was on Familysearch.Org but cant find it now. Maybe I imagined it :-\

Robert Lamont who married Grace Burns in 1871 was my relative. and has no apparent connection to the family on this thread.
He was born in Lanarkshire in 1849 and his father was not called Robert.
He appears on every census in Lanarkshire with his own parents before his marriage and subsequently with his wife and children on every census until his death.
I hold copies of every document as proof.

The date that Trish posted, 14 Mar 1881  is  actually the DOB for his son who was named Robert Smith Lamont.
This child was, in fact named for his own maternal grandfather.

All of my families, Lamont, Smith and all associated families hail from Cambuslang and have no obvious link to Robert Lamont and Isabella Gillespie Smith

The 1891 census in Lewisham, clearly states that 40yr old son named Robert S is unmarried.
