1848 Born and baptised in Allendale, Northumberland. Parents John and Jane Nevin (MMN French)
1851 Census. At Allendale, Northumberland. Father is a lead mine agent
1861 Census. At Carrshields House, Allendale. Father is a lead mine agent
1861-3. Family move to Leadhills, Lanarkshire, Scotland
1867. Father John Nevin dies and Robert is the informant at death. This is the last known citing of Robert.
Other information
1871 Census. No sign of Robert in England or Scotland.
1877. Mother Jane dies but the informant is not Robert but his brother John F Nevin. Does this mean Robert is deceased?
1878. Brother John F Nevin dies. In his long will there is no mention of Robert as either a beneficiary, executor or witness.
1881. By this time all the other family members have left Scotland for Mirfield in Yorkshire (family connections there).
I did not find any records on Scotlandspeople post 1867 for Robert, including no death.
I could not see any newspaper articles on Robert on findmypast.
The Robert Henry Nevins who dies in 1914 in Tadcaster, Yorkshire, is not the correct person.
The Robert Henry Nevin born 1846 in Allendale was his elder brother. He died in 1846.
He is not with any of his siblings in later censuses.
Does anyone fancy seeing if they can find anything about Robert after 1867?
Thank you
