Hello Monica,
Many thanks for your time looking into this for me.
I will certainly look further into this. See note below about this.
Managed to follow Robert and Jane through the censuses in Glasgow.
1841. Robert, 40, Jane 30, Jane 2, Robert aged 6 months.
1851 Robert 50, Cotton Weaver, b. Walton/Wilton ? Roxburgh.
Jane 40,b. Glasgow.
Jane daur. aged 12, Robert son aged 10.
Mary daur. aged 8 and Walter son aged 5.
1861. They have another son Alexander aged 6 [b. 1855]
Alexander born 1855 is my husband's ancestor.
I did manage to get a copy of his birth, which is very difficult to read because of the faint writing.
Robert died 19 May 1877. I do have his death cert. which notes his mother's maiden surname. I read it as COWIE/CURRIE/CORVIC
?? Cert. attached. Failed to get any further with this info.
Also have a copy of the Poor Law record for Jane Burnside. widow of Robert Stewart dated 11 Feb 1887, Glasgow.
It held a wealth of info. about their family.
Jane now 77 and 3months,.
Parents. Walter Burnside born Drygate. Weaver. Jane Wallace born Falkirk both deceased.
Husband Rob. Stewart 78 years, born in Springbank or Hawick died 10 years ago in Hunter St.[ Cannot tell his parentage].
I'll keep on searching, thanks again
Anne
