Robert was born around 1835 in Fetteresso, Kincardineshire. His parents were Robert Wood and Jean Calder
In 1851 Robert was a Shoemaker living on Evan Street in the parish of Fetteresso.
In 1862 Robert married Margaret Falconer in Maryculter, Kincardineshire.
In 1871 Robert was a Shoemaker living on High Street in Stonehaven.
In 1881 Robert was a Salesman (Boot and Shoe) living in Lanarkshire with 4 children. Margaret is absent from the 1881 census. Later censuses have the family in Lanarkshire.
They had 4 children:
Margaret passed away in 1877 at Kelvin, Lanarkshire.
Robert passed away in 1909 at Hillhead, Lanarkshire.
Ancestry.com has mother's maiden name as Dun, rather than Calder.
There is a record on Scotlandspeople.gov.uk showing a Margaret Wood died in Lanarkshire (Kelvin) in 1877 aged 36. Mother's maiden name Knowles. This fits with Ancestry tip that Margaret Falconer's mother was Isabella Knowles. It also fits with her being absent from 1881 census, and the location fits with youngest son Archibald being born in Glasgow, Lanarkshire.
Robert Wood's death record on Scotlandspeople.gov.uk, fortunately "mother's maiden name" is a viewable field, there are none with a mother called Dun but one with a mother named Calder, died 1909 at Hillhead aged 74 (the right age). Hopefully now we have narrowed down the year, the date will pop up on one of the other sites without having to pay for credits on Scotlandspeople.
