Thank you all ASTRA, CATHERINE AND BARBARA for all the info searched for me - I did search in Scots people but couldn't confirm anything. Yes Astra and Catherine - this is the "lost" Robert Brown - thank you so much. Appologies for not replying sooner - I had to go away unexpectedly after posting the message.

A tree on Ancestry has him married to Rachel Anderson Needs verifying

Which could be this one. She is in Haddington in 1891. Looking basck to when she was with her family her mother was named Eleanor which is what Rachel named her first daughter so it seems a good match but you need to verify with the record on Scotland's people.

Can anybody help please - I am trying to find out who Robert Brown married. He was born in Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland in 1872 and both he and his father, James, 1843, were coach builders. Robert eventually moved to Bathgate where my hubands mother, Isabella 1900, lived as a child - her mother apparently dying when she was 12yrs. Robert's children were James, Eleanor, Jessie, Isabella and Rachel and one other that died at birth. I also can't find any info about any of these children.
Thank you - regards Lena
