Family #83.
The youngest son of Thomas Dunsyre and Margaret Wilson [m.11 October 1811), Robert b.1831, married Elspeth or Elisabeth Herd in 1853. Robert was a coal miner, and moved around the Fife collieries quite a bit. Their first child, Thomas, was born in Beath in 1854, the next four in Auchtertool at Little Raith colliery (although three of those died in infancy), one in Beath again, one in Ballingry, three more in Beath, and the last in Wemyss in 1873. In 1891 Robert and Elspeth, both 60, were at 44 Newtown, Kirkland; his occupation ‘General Merchant’. By 1901 Robert is a widower, retired. Scotlandspeople gives his death in 1904, age 73, in Thornton. According to the Statutory Register of Deaths Index, Elspeth died in 1891, age 60.
Thomas (b.1854), like his grandfather, married a Margaret Wilson (a plentiful clan in Fife) in 1874. Janet (b.1861 at Little Raith Colliery) married Archibald Stenhouse. Thanks to John Stenhouse, a
descendant, a family tree is available but is not presented here. The youngest son, Andrew b.1869, is
probably the miner (21) shown in 1891 as living at 83 Old Town, Kirkland, with his wife Catherine (born in
England), and two children Robert (2) and Jane R. (5mo.). This baby Robert became the Robert Dunsire
who was killed in a mining accident in British Columbia, Canada, on 30AUG1922 (information from David
Mason). There is a gravestone in East Wemyss cemetery to him, his wife Mary Cormack (d.10NOV1964
age 75), and their daughter Sarah, who died age 18 in 1936. They had five other children.
Johanna (as Joan) married James Simpson in 1891 [see under her name for a story about this].
