1. 09.07.2021 Why was Robert & Margaret married in St Ninians, Stirling. There is a birth record in Family Search for Robert Wilson, b. abt 1803, at St Ninians, Stirling, married to Margaret Shepherd on the correct date @ https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/KHFV-CT4. No similar b. record in SP.
It was originally thought that Robert came from Fife!
2. Roberts wife Margaret Shepherd remarries to Thomas Storar in 1841. At this time, during the 1841 census, she has reverted back to Shepherd, looking like Robert had died before 1841.
3. No trace of death of Robert Wilson in Statutory Registers, in Scotlands people.
There is a record of death/burial in OPR, Scotlands people, for a Robert Wilson, Kelty, 19 October 1834, in Beath Parish Old Parish Register. It is possibly him as the birth of his youngest son James Wilson, b 7 March 1835, allows him still to be the childs Father. This is the only recorded death of a Robert Wilson, in Beath OPR between 1833 (The birth year of his middle child George) and 1855. Robert is stated on his son James register of birth as being father (but no mention of him being deceased at time of James's birth)
Beath KSM confirms his death in 1834. The session pays out 15 shillings per quarter, till August 1837, for the benefit of his widow and children.
