Is Robert the one born 7 Jul 1842 in Douglas, son of Hugh Scott and Margaret Slimon? Have you tried following any of his siblings down through the censuses? Here's the family in 1851, if you don't already have it. There is the bonus of the mother-in-law in the household as well:

Col Gill, Douglas, Lanarkshire
Hugh Scott, 42, Head, born Carmath, Lanarkshire, Coachman & Groom
Margret Slimmon, 40, Wife, born Douglas, Lanarkshire
Mary Scott, 16, Daughter, born Douglas, Lanarkshire, Scholar
John Scott, 13, Son, born Douglas, Lanarkshire, Forrester
