• Notes

  In 1861 Robert was residing in Deanston with his parents Robert has not been found in 1871 in Scotland or England. In 1881 Robert was residing at Singer Place #6, Falkirk Landward, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his first wife, Jessie, and their newborn daughter Mary. Robert was employed as an iron founder. No marriage record has been found for Robert's first marriage. Robert was employed as an Iron Moulder and was shown as born 1851 in Deanston, Perth. Neither Robert nor his children have been found in 1891 or 1901 anywhere in the UK, Canada, or the USA. As we have been unable to determine Robert's whereabouts during this period we're also unable to determine where his wife and children were born. Sitlrling Observer, Saturday 8 October 1883 At Vienna, in the Chapel of the British Embassy, on the 1st instant, Robert Gillespie, Flordiadorf (Floridsdorf, Vienna), youngest son of John Gillespie, Deanston, to Helen Stewart, fourth daughter of Robert Stewart, Deanston, Perthshire, Scotland. Robert continued to be employed as an iron moulder after moving to Austria. We have only found one large-scale iron-based industry in Floridsdorf, which was a locomotive manufacturing plant. It seems likely that's where Robert was employed.
