Chapter 2: Back in Time Grandfather Robert (b. 1769) – In the previous chapter we traced the antecedents of The Brothers, back to Fife where their father Robert was born in 1792 and their paternal grandfather, also called Robert, was born in 1769. Their grandfather was a wright/joiner and married Jean Rollo, also from Fife. Robert senior and Jean moved to Dundee when Robert junior was a child. The story of the latter is told in the next chapter, Putting Down Roots. In this chapter we explore the background of the grandfather of The Three Brothers, Robert Cairncross, born in Logie in 1769, starting with his younger sister Mary. A Family in Fife As we saw in Chapter 1, in 1769 a son, Robert Cairncross, was born to Patrick Cairncross and Isabele Henderson, who had married on the 14th Dec 1765. In addition to Robert, Scotland’s People suggests Patrick and Isabele had three other children, if we accept that Patrick and Peter are commonly interchanged, and that Carncross is a common of Cairncross.
