Notes |
- Robert has not been confidently identified in later records however there is a promising Robert Ord born 1825 in Scotland, residing in 1875 in Buffalo, New York, USA, employed as a blacksmith, and married to 34 year old Ann. They have no children. This might explain his brother David's jaunt to the USA circa 1850. This same Robert Ord was drafted on 1 Jul 1863 for military service during the American Civil War. He was born 1825 in Scotland, residing in 1st Ward, Buffalo, New York, USA.
Buffalo, New York, USA, is across the Niagara River and south from Stamford, Welland, Ontario, Canada, where Robert's brother, David, was residing.
In 1872, this Robert Ord was listed in the Buffalo City Directory as a blacksmith residing at 36 Jefferson, roughly 40 km/25 miles from Stamford.
This Robert is not found in any other records, including the regular census records for 1860, 1870, 1880.
