Thank you Beverley for adding the name of George as eldest child of Robert/Mary Anderson to the list of five children already recorded. I had not discovered his existence.
Again, Ann Cardiff I appreciate your identification of four children of Robt & Mary. I did in fact have those identified plus Thomas ch.7/6/1804. The latter happens to be my gggrandfather whose son Robert migrated to Melbourne 1853.
To Jacquiline - thank you for your suggestions. Could not find date of marriage in either source you suggest but thank you for your interest.
To 'Greyghost' it seems my cause may be lost given your information but thank you anyway. Cheers from Bill Borton

A look at Scotlands People does not show a marriage in either OPR's or Catholic Registers from 1770-1800 for a couple with these names.

None at all in Catholic, several in OPR's for a Robert Anderson to a Mary but not Mary Jameson.

Likewise none for Mary Jameson (and varient spellings) 1782-1793

Have you looked at the free familysearch site? There may be a record there

Otherwise, you will need to pay for credits on the Scotlands people site, which does not offer subscriptions

Trying to track the lives of Robert George Anderson and his wife Mary Jamieson (born 1757 and 1759). They lived and worked on Panlathy Farm in Arbirlot, Forfarshire and their first of five children was born 1791. I suspect therefore they were married sometime in late 1780's. Can anyone help in finding an exact date of marriage ? Bill Borton. (Mornington, Vic. Australia)
