Find Ancestors

Hi,Robert and Susan married Aug 1840 in Glasgow, Robert from Cavers Roxburgh. Found both on 1841 census Cavers Roxburgh, saying Robert is an independent minister. He married his brother in law and sister in law (William Rae Wilson Smith and Anne Mcewan) March 1846 in Glasgow. It says he is a minister of the Congregational Chapel Cockermouth. Cumberland. I cant find any more information on them in Cumberland or Scotland. I wonder if can find them on census 1851 onwards. Thanks Philippa

Hi Philippa,

I've had a good look about and can't see them........ can't see any marriages or deaths on freebmd either.... I wonder if they went abroad?
