Robert Guthrie
ID # 4161, (1809-1871)
| Birth | Robert Guthrie was born on 10 May 1809 at Cruden, Aberdeen, Scotland. |
| Marriage | He married Mary Edith Nichol on 20 May 1862 at Elora, Wellington County. MS248 reel 17, Vol. 79, page 98 Wellington County Extracted from a list of marriages solemnized by John Duff, a minister of the Canada Presbyterian Church for the year ending 1862 Robert Guthrie, age not given, born Scotland, residing Ingersoll. Parents John Guthrie and Jane Clark. Mary Ann E. Nichol, 21, born England, residing Ingersol. Parents Robert Nichol and Ann Wilkinson. Witness James Philip, Elora. Robert Guthrie, tailer, was still living and with Edith at Georgetown in Halton County at the time of the 1871 census. His age is given as 62 and hers as 28. His year of birth is extrapolated from this census information. Robert died shortly after the census was taken. The Ingersoll library provides transcriptions of some birth, marriage and death information. The Ingersoll Chronicle of Friday, May 23, 1862, tells that on the '29th instant' (a typographical error, the 20th obviously being intended) by the Rev. John Duff at the residence of Mr. James Phillips, cousin of the bride, Mr. Robert Guthrie, merchant, to Miss M. A. E. Nicholl, both of Ingersoll. County marriage registrations do not typicall provide exact locations of a marriage, but the newspaper account tells us that they were married in Elora. |
| Death | He died on 21 August 1871 at Village of Georgetown, Halton Co., at age 62. |
| Note | The 1871 census shows Robert Guthrie with wife Edith in Georgetown, Halton County. He is a tailer and evidently had a previous family. Robert and Edith have with them a son William, age 8. Also in the household are Elsie Guthrie, age 32, and Jennie, age 25. The logic is that Elsie and Jennie are Robert's daughters. They were both born in Scotland. Familysearch has a transcription of a database, Scotland Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950. In this appears the following: Robert Guthrie born 10 May 1809 at Cruden, Aberdeen, Scotland. Parents John Guthrie and Jane Clark. Death reg. 014190-71 Village of Georgetown, Halton Co. Robt. Guthrie died 21 August, 1871. Presbyterian. Age 62, tailer. Physician and informant Dr. William Freeman, Georgetown. |
