Robert and Margaret MacFarlane’s family
Robert and Maggie Catherine married on 29 August 1905. Civil records corroborate Anna Jessie as their daughter and record Robert’s death on 20 September 1956. Robert’s contemporary and retrospective birth dates disagree; Maggie Catherine’s earlier husband and natal surname remain qualified. Island burial returns do not identify exact plots.
