Thankyou again Aghadowey.
It makes sense here where there are several of the same name.

Hi there,
There  were / are many families of Robb in the area. e.g the 1911 census shows the Robbs at Lislaird living in house numbers, 2,7,8,12,14,15,16,18 and 20. 
There are other families in the area.  The ones I am referring to lived in no.12 Lislaird.
They were probably all related in some way or other since the name is in the area since 1800's and before.  Possibly came with the Plantation or before. Some were recorded as of the Presbryterian or Church of Ireland tradition.
At this stage I cannot confirm if we are referring to the same Robbs, but will keep looking and will appreciate if you can get some more info.
For now,
Romily


Hi, if this helps, there were several family's of Robbs living in the lislaird area in 1800s, but I believe most of them moved and another clan of the Robbs name came. Thomas and Jean Robb living on Fort road, may be from the previous Robbs. The Locals call Thomas - tommy. The Robbs of Lislaird today, came from near the borders of Scotland/England.
