Hello there,
I came across your message while doing some work on Robert Alexander (or Archibald) Dakers (1866-1954). He was an artist and editor of the Haddington Courier in East Lothian, Scotland.
While looking him up in the National Archives here I found this, which might be new and a bit of a surprise to you:
National Archives of Scotland.
AD14/48/240. Precognition against Robert Gillies Dakers for the crime of bigamy at Monzie manse, Monzie parish, Perthshire,1848.
JC26/1848/32A, Trial papers relating to Robert Gillies Dakers for the crime of bigamy at Monzie manse, Monzie parish, Perthshire. Tried at High Court, Perth, 20 Apr 1848.
I would welcome any info on Robert, the artist as I believe he may also have been a photographer.
Cheers,
Joe
