  • Notes 
    • Informant on the death of Dorothea Myles was her husband Robert Bewes

      Informant on the death of Robert Bewes was his daughter Dora Connell (Nee Bews)

      His birth, according to his daughter on his Death Certificate, was about 1873. There is a Robert Bews born about 1873 residing with his widowed mother, named JAMIMA, at 5 Gibsons Court, Edinburgh in 1881. Some doubt as to the spelling of his last name. Bews or BEWES?
      It looks like he was a Brick Worker residing with his sister at 15 Murdoch Terrace, Edinburgh, during the 1901 Census.
