ROBERT PETRIE

[Elliven]

I am looking for information on Robert Petrie born 1834 in Aberdeenshire but spent most of his adult life working at Belle Vue Prison, Gorton Manchester and retired to Aston on Mersey, Cheshire probably before 1891.  He died there in about 1924.  He married Hannah Dewhirst on 27th September 1859 in Manchester Cathedral and they subsequently had nine children.

Did Robert marry twice?

There is a possible second marriage in 1888 to Rebecca Jane Rylance;  Robert shown as 52, warehouseman.  His father shown as George (dec'd) shoemaker.

An online tree gives his death and burial in Bucklow Cheshire in 1924.
