My best info is that Robert was born on February 3, 1823; he died in Canada in 1911 - actual date and location unknown. Parents: John Forsythe and Mary Bevlyn. This is all info I have.
Robert and Jane are 25 and 23 in 1851 census, and from Ireland.Any theories as to why your family thought they were from Scotland?Do you know where and when he married Jane?
