Moving towards accepting 1841census for Newark,Notts.which shows Robert jnr parents born in Scotland and Robert born Newark 1832.
Parents both born Scotland but possibly married in Notts. Circa 1827?
Unfortunately none of this helps with Mothers maiden name.
Thanks everybody for your efforts.

Have 1858 Dumfries marriage cert for Robert Robison 26 and Jane Beck 29.
Roberts parents are shown as Robert Robison and Mary ?
Unable to decypher mother's name, may be Harrison or Morrison.Any help would be appreciated as this is preventing completion of a seven generation fan chart.

My wife and I are currently both in 12 weeks self isolation as a precaution for this nasty virus business.
Your kindness has given two old timers a wonderful lift!

Alexander Taylor operated a deep sea fishing business out of Massett,Queen Charlotte Islands where he lived for many years.His daughters were Gail Frances and Catherine.I have Alexander's birth certificate but other than the foregoing have no other reliable information.I do not know his wife's name nor whether they married in the U.K. although I believe that they were married in Scotland .
The Scotlands People website has not thrown any light on this nor the LDS site. I have also searched passenger / immigration lists without success.
I believe that he had poor health in later life and passed away in or around Vancouver.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
