Agreed. alviegal, Carl needs to get the marriage cert.

Didn't even notice that Potty! Does sound as if it could be them but Peter's marriage certificate would clarify all this. :-)

Well done alviegal!

Was a bit worried to see Agnes in 1891 shown as widow when Robert was still alive in 1911! Checked the image and it looks as if Widow was changed to Married (or it could have been the other way around!)

Peter and Robert are in Newcastle in 1881. The family stayed behind. If Robert was born in MacDuff as it says above, he could also have been a seaman as MacDuff is a fishing village.

I wondered about that one too Potty. Maybe he ran off!!
In any case, you need the marriage details to confirm his father's name, assuming he knew it of course.
Looks like the death of the above Peter, not that it helps really:

Unfortunately I can't find him 1911, when he would probably have put his birthplace. Maybe someone else can!
Jan

thanks to all, I'm acting on the info!

Carl

There are too many matching births for that time scale in Scotland,his fathers name could help.

Maybe his marriage? If you are trying to trace him back to Scotland you might need the cert:

Marriages Mar 1884 (>99%)
Cowie Peter Newcastle T. 10b 83
CRAWLEY Mary Newcastle T 10b 83
