Greetings All

Yes you cannot do the impossible to locate records Robert Bryce and son John.  Like wise I will not stop looking and something may yet appear.  Heaven forbid there is always the next world where we might meet them ... and no I am not a religious person either.

I do thank you for your input and time to assist me.  This is much appreciated.

It is my intention to re-visit Scotland in 2015 and I would dearly love to thank you in person.

Cheers

Alex G ;D

Good for you.
Personally I'm waiting until they build a time-machine  ;D

Good morning (evening) Alex,
Fingers crossed something turns up. I can't even identify Robert on the 1841 Census. I was hoping to see where he was living and who with.
If he died after 1855 while living with Isabella you would expect that there would be a record. Either the name has been misspelled or he died away from home. Or he never died at that time at all. He could have left the family......

Hope you manage to make the journey across "the watter" in 2015. If you are visiting Ayrshire send me a Personal Message - maybe catch you for a coffee  ;D

Looby :)

Ahhhhhhh ------------

Interesting - Jane's birth and death records have Robert as the informant but Agnes's have Isabella.

Hunch/maybe casting nasturtiums but Robert maybe died or left the family before Agnes's birth, which would be in the time frame of  28 August 1856 (inf on 29th - Jane's death) and 11 July 1858 (Agnes's birth). I think I'd go with a death though as it looks as if Agnes was named for Robert's mother.

I'm now wondering how Isabella supported herself and John . Did she have an occupation in 1861?

Well done buckhind :)
Did it have his wife's name or parents names on the cert? Probably not I suppose if he died in Gartnavel. 
Alex will be pleased.

Thanks Looby.
I posted more but Rootschat deleted some of it because I linked to another Genealogy site.
Fair enough.
Alex had posted the same query on another website and a lassie from there had found the DC.
I can't take the credit.
His parents are on it but if Alex goes to the site he can post the result here.
