Hello Jackie, you're going to have to give us some sort of timeframe, and what part of Scotland ....

You're probably going to have to do some research on Scotland's People

Hi Jackie,
There are lots of people on here who would love to help, but they need more information.

So far you have given:
Agnes and Robert b.Renfrewshire had two sons called Robert, one died.

If you know Robert was born in Renfrewshire in which decade was he born?

Do you know the maiden name of Agnes? Or when they were married?

Do you know when the children were born or where?

How have to found the information you have?

Do you have any census information?

Jackie

You aren't new to posting on here, so you must know that DATES are vital

And you need to tell us why you think there was a previous child with the same name

ALSO.................when did Robert and Agnes marry?
