I have gone over this & there’s a few things which don’t tally for Robert Edmond
“Robert Bach born 1858 in Scotland died in 1914 in Edinburgh”
On death he was recorded as aged 65 (birth year 1849) which is 9 yrs out!
“Address at death Craiglockhart Poorhouse. Residence Edinburgh Grassmarket”
RD District was Colinton which helps researchers as the Lothians have quite a few
This may be a long shot on someone else filling in details but may be worth investigating as the surname may have been misheard as Back/Black rather than Bach & depending on accents ‘CH’ can often be pronounced ‘CK’
1911
BLACK ROBERT 49 (born c 1862) which is far closer than the age given at death
677/ 4/ 19 Colinton, Midlothian
Not sure if this has been discounted already?
My thinking is (hopefully) someone else filled in the details as Robert does seem to use his middle name quite often on other records?
