My surname is also Robb and my ancestors come from Aberdeenshire, but none of the forenames you mention are the same. I also have a Jaffrey's as ancestors using the foregoing spelling but it has also been spelt Jaffray. If you have not already tried these variations perhaps it would be worth a try. My ancestors all originate from the Methlick, Fyvie, and Auchterless area between about 1700 and 1900.

Good luck with your ongoing enquiries

Hi, thanks for your comments i agree it is unlikely there is a connection and as for the spellings that could change from census to census  :)
