Individual Details

Robert Dundas Burnett

(1810 - 17 Nov 1889)

Robert was so named because of her father’s close connection with the Lord Robert Dundas of Arniston, Chief Baron of the Exchequer of Scotland, after whom Judge John Burnett declared that he would name his next child. The Judge Burnett died before Robert’s birth but Mrs Burnett kept her husband’s pledge, and so the female baby was given the male name of Robert.
