DEATHS
CAIRNS.-May 11, 1905, at his residence, 25 Theodore-street, Balmain, Robert Cairns, in his 76th year, a resident of Miller's Point for nearly 50 years.

Death 8814/1919 CAIRNS DAVID - ROBERT W - BRIDGET - BALMAIN SOUTH * the Initial W looks to be an error given the following death

Death 9865/1936 CAIRNS ROBERT WALTER - ROBERT YOUNG - BRIDGET - BALMAIN * perhaps the middle name Young is an error

Looking for info on Robert senior before his 1856 marriage. Born abt 1830.

Thanks,

Dave

I can't find Robert Cairns born 1829 in 1841 census in Scotland.

No death in NSW index for a Walter or Helen Cairns.

No Robert Cairns in Assisted to NSW who fits.

 

[DaveHam9]

This looks like Robert.

There is a piece in Trove re a crane failure and about splicing steel cables that mentions Robert and one other man.

Son Robert took over the role at the Lodge from his father as later notices have Robert Cairns, junior.

Robert Walter Cairns – SMH – Mon 25 May 1936

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Val.

They must have had two sons named Robert. Looks like the 2nd one got his grandfather name Walter as a middle name.

There is a notice in Trove of a young son Robert drowning. No age mentioned. I'll have to go back as I didn't save the URL.

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Val.

Seems to be no other baptisms in SP for any other children.

Eyre died 1 Feb and buried 3 Feb.

2x Robert in 1841 - one not old enough and one the right age but listed as not born Dundee, Angus.

Error with the year in the index or not ?? Rather curious.

There is no death in the index in 1906.

Can't be ashes buried in CofE in 1906. RC 1905 is a burial.

Neither in ACI ?? It covers Rookwood.

 

[DaveHam9]

The only one I can find in Scotland in 1841 who fits for age but ruled out if pob is correct in census.

Looking at births for other Robert Cairns 1828 - 1830 with mmn Foxe, Chalmers, Geekie, Menteith, McBryan so no match there to Beat or Chapman.
