Robert Welsh Bisset died in Dumfries April 6th 1959. On the registration his death is a record of his Marriages to Robina Gardiner Kirk (Dumfries),  & Margaret Hamilton (Tollgate). The former he married as Bisset the latter as Russell. Both marriage certificates 1910 & 1911 confirms neither  name Russell nor Bisset appears on both. (See my explanation under post on Robert Welsh Bisset Russell)
He has two sons born 1917 & 1919 with Margaret Hamiltion (can confirm that both deceased), Family legend (story) there was also another son status unknown & a daughter went To Canada- no information.
This Margaret Hamilton (Death Certificate died 1st November 1956 Royal infirmary widow of Robert Welsh Russell)  & her sons were connected with Duke Street area and there was a divide of some sort in the 1920's (post WWI). the sons were sent to Ireland returning early 1930's.
Note: while MH death certificate indicate she was the widow of RWR, the man was alive & living in Dumfries only passing away three years later.
 I am interested in finding more on the Hamiltons of this family.

The RWBR saga Janet Bisset (never married)1831-1895 had two sons Joseph Bisset B::1867 Dumfries -D:1939 Govan age 78. As Joseph Russell.// The second son was Robert Welsh Bissett  B: 1877 Troqueer (Dumfries) D: 1951 age 81 as Robert Welch Bissett.// Believe a third son but have no info on him yet.
RWB married Robina Gardiner Kirk 20th June 1910 Dumfries, She died in August that year.
-In 1911 both brothers were living is a tenement in Mclean Street Govan. Joseph the tenant Mary
Welsh (wife?) & RWB a boarder. ( 3 persons -1911 Census) 
-Some time between the census and December 1911 they "acquired" a new family the Russell's both parent were noted as deceased on the marriage certificate United Free Church Tollcross Park minister, 8th December 1911 of Robert Welsh Russell to Margaret Hamilton B:1876 -D:1956 in Dennistoun.
-Robert Welsh Bisset death certificate confirms both his marriages to the above.
-Has two sons Confirmed 1917 & 1919, but another son & daughter unconfirmed. Was noted on a birth certificate RWR as a Sapper Royal Engineers 1917.   An Irish connection was attendance at a "School" in Artane late 1920,s early 1930;s details not to hand

Back to Joseph. By  1913 he had become Joseph Russell and married Mary Welsh by civil declaration in Blythswood 17th Sept 1913 with the same deceased parents as RW. Joseph Russell & Janet Russell nee Robson.
-Josephs Russell (the younger) death certificate 1939, confirms his marriage to Mary Welsh, and was witnessed by his "Son" RW Russell? Suspect this was his brother. Moral attitudes of the time, it was I venture a common thing to reinvent your self to move forward.
