Hi Graham
Robert's (1787/1867) son Robert (1821/1902) married Agnes Morrison (1821/1903) 13th March 1846 in Renfrew.They had 9 children that I know of: Robert (1847/1887); Elisabeth (1849/1914); John Hunter (1858/1870); Daniel (1853/1917); Thomas (1855/?); William (1856/1941); James Morrison (1858/1881); Agnes Jane Crawford (1861/1918); Margaret (1865/1896).There is in fact a line of 6 Roberts from Robert (b 1752 Prestonpans) m Margaret Wylie through to Robert b 1904 at 7 Park Avenue, Paisley.I haven't got round to pursuing beyond that Robert so far.
Can you let me know how you trace back to Robert (1847/1887)?
My connection is that my mother-in-law was Agnes Paul Hillcoat (1 of 4 "cousins" with the same name living at the same time).She descends from the same Robert (1752) as you do via James (1791/1857); Alexander Murray (1832/?); Henderson Irvine (1869/1945).ie Your Robert (1787/1867) and James (1791/1857) were brothers.One one remaining great mystery is where and when Alexander Murray Hillcoat died.I know he was alive in 1871 and dead by 1881 but where and when is a dead end so far.
I look forward to hearing from you.
