So far have not found Robert or Mary in 1861 or later. Have not found their deaths.

Have not found Robert or his parents in any census yet. Also don't have their deaths.

Not near a main line, Geoff.

Two sisters of George West ended up in NSW and one married a Sands.

But parents don't fit those listed on Robert's marriage.

Alexander & Sarah not Robert & Mary.

The 1841 is very interesting with the names TRENCH and HUTCHISON. Where is Sarah and son Robert H.?

I have a copy of the 1855 marriage but have not transcribed the lot. Rather difficult to read so it will end up in pieces on the Documents board.

Two pieces posted.

I can't find a Sarah as French or Trench in Midlothian in 1841 or 1851.

I can't find her death.

The only Sarah Caw birth/baptism in SP is this one.

CAW SARAH DEMOND - PHILIP CAW/MARTHA MOIR FR3758 (FR3758 ) 0 14/02/1833 692/1 90 122 Leith North

The only marriage for a Sarah CAW is in 1849 to a James Pesque.

Robert Hutchison TRENCH, a cooper, aged 21 in 1855 when he married - parents Alexander, a cooper and Sarah CAW.

Then stuck.

Back to this one and I'm still confused.

2x Robert born Leith abt 1834 both coopers - one with parents Robert & Mary [not mine] and one with parents Alexander & Sarah Caw [mine].

That marriage can be the starting point.

One birth with a middle name for the Robert in my tree.
