a. Note:   may have married Margaret Mathie at Collessie 1874 OPR birth record: This is unusual as it was written in 1893 retrospectively, possibly in response to Robert needing some proof of his birth for some reason. 'Robert Mercer son of Robert Mercer sometime ploughman now residing at 19 Gas Wynd, Kirkcaldy, and Agnes Cummings or Mercer his wife, was born between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock am on the 7th day of December 1847 at the farm of Wester Gellet in the Parish of Dunfermline and the County of Fife. Registered this 24th day of March 1893 on the authority of a relative warrant by David Gillespie, esquire, advocate, sheriff substitute of Fifeshire dated 8th March 1893 Signed: Stair Agnew, Register General The above entry was transcribed by me at Dunfermline on the 29th day of March 1893. James Walls, registrar' This is interesting as it confirms the educated guess that Robert senior was the son of David Mercer and Isabella as the farm at Wester Gellet is connected with this family. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
