Biography
Robert was born 19 Dec, and baptised 23 Dec 1707. The original can be found in images, along with a copy of Banns records.
Banns dated 28 Sept. He married Agnes 01 Nov 1731 [1]
The handwriting in the original document is difficult to read in places, this entry is not as clear as those above it. So far I have “Robert Craig and Agnes Anslie in the *CPO Grafners* paroch of Edinh (Edinburgh) gives up their names to be proclaimed in order to marriage the twenty eight day of September Charles Craig father for the man and Patrick Lyle Caurir? (cautioner?) for the woman. Married the 1 of Novr” Can anyone give a name to the parish?
His death records and grave, could not be found.
Occupation on his children's birth/baptism records given as Baxter (baker)
