Robert states his birth location as Logie Perthshire, Occupation - Coal miner Final Destination: Turtle Creek Pennsylvania Arrival Date: 16 September 1912 Next of Kin: 'his Wife' Mary Wilkie of 8 Burgh Rd Cowdenbeath. I believe this Mary Wilkie to be Marion Wilkie as Robert & Marion Wilkie's Son - David Wilkie WWI military file, 8 Burgh Road is mentioned as well as 14 Burgh Rd - Cowdenbeaths Robert Wilkie's birth location seems to vary - Census - Logie, Sterling; Logie Clackmannshire; Beath Fife According to Gazateer of Scotland by Rev John Wilson 1-888265-07-8, there is a Logie in the Parishes of Sterling, Clackmannanshire and Perthshire with acres in all of these 'shires'. The Ochil hills are in Clackmannanshire thus it seems 'not wrong' to state Robert's birth place within these boundaries. New York Passenger Lists 1820-1957 (Ancestry.ca) 1919; Microfilm Serial T715; Microfilm Roll: T715_2694, Line 26, Pg 183 Robert Wilkie, Birth Year abt 1874, Birth location Glen Ochil, Scotland Age: 45 yrs Male, Scottish Port of Departure: Glasgow, Scotland Port of Arrival: New York, New York on 02 November 1919 Ship: Columbia Reason or person to see: "going to join friend John Miller of 395 Salineville, Ohio Further info from this List - Robert names his Wife as Mrs Marion Wilkie of 14 Boro Rd* (?Burgh) Cowdenbeath. His Final destination as Salineville Ohio; Robert stated he was previously in USA 1912-1915. As I know (from above) Robert arrived first on 16 Sep 1912, I have not found a list with his departure back to Scotland in 1915 - would that have been due to WWI issues; was he forced to return to Scotland or were there family issues??? 1920 USA Federal Census (ancestry.ca) Salineville, Columbiana, Ohio; Roll T625_1356; Pg 74, Enum dist 144, Image 563 Robert Wilkie, Age 45, Est birth yr: 1875, Birthplace Scotland, Parents Birthplace Scotland, White, Male, Immigrated 1919, Can read & write, Occupation - Coal Miner, Boarder in the household of Frank Wilson's Family: Myrtle G Wilson, Hazel I Wilson, Wanda R. Wilson, Dorothy R Wilson & Frances M Wilson) Frank Wilson's occupation is loader in a coal mine Residing also in this household is another boarder - John Miller ( same person Robert named as Friend on his 1919 immigration) Robert is not enumerated on the 1930 USA Federal census for Salineville with other members of his family. I did find a death registration for a Robert Wilkie - in the Cty of Columbiana, Death Date given as 28 June 1926: Source being Ohio Deaths 1908-1932 Ohio Deaths: 1908-1932;1938-1944, & 1958-2007 Name: Robert Wilkie Death Date: 28 Jun 1926 County of Death: Columbiana Ohio Death Records: Deceased Name: Robert Wilkie Birth: 21 April 1875 Death 28 Jun 1926, East Liverpool, Columbiana Co, Ohio Burial 30 Jun 1926, Salineville, Ohio Father named as David, birthplace Scotland Mother - birthplace Scotland Male, Age 51 Married White, Occupation - Miner File # 36835 GS Film 1984357 Digital Folder 004019466 This death event needs more research - as there are numerous Robert Wilkie's in Ohio & Pennsylvania. The fact that Marion states she is a Widow in 1940, Son David is with her - I presumed the death of 1926 was Marion's husband; but perhaps not; perhaps Robt & Marion divorced and he went on to other things. Newspaper clipping in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania - stating 103 age Robert - fighting for his rights - family Sons & Dtrs arguing in court as to his $200,000 estate - he was a construction builder by trade and the Robert I am seeking was a coal miner!!!!
