Jean, if Agnes is your direct line, can you be sure that the others lived to adulthood?

Have you found any of them on census records please?

Thank you all very much,

Rootgatherer, he was born in Glasgow , I found his birth in the OPR records on Scotlandspeople ,also on the familysearch, I am not good at copying and pasting , is that what it is called ?
All the births you found are my ancestors including my 2x gr.grandmother Agnes.

Astra ,
The 1841 looks good ,, apart from the mother Anne, i have her born in Dollar, Clackmannashire.

Perhaps he didn't die in Scotland, or if he did prior to 1855, the parish/cemetery records haven't been transcribed

I am not seeing that birth on Familysearch. Can you say where he was born please?

Do you know for sure that he was alive after statutory registration began in 1855 please?

I have found on Familysearch a Robert Wark Mitchell b 1/2/1827 with parents John Mitchell and Anne nee Oliphant , I have also found his birth on Scotlandspeople but nigh on impossible to find a death for him on scotlandspeople .
Would someone be able to tell me if there is a way to find a marriage or death for him on Familysearch .

thank you
