I have submitted McRobbie as an alternative name in Ancestry's records. This should help future searchers

The family are living in Auchnagorth parish of King Edward if you have Ancestry search for Elva  mcroble born 1815 Lonmay Aberdeenshire and you will find them

I have had a look at the entry for Upper Auchnagorth in James Godsman's book on the parish of King Edward. He must have got the Christian name wrong:

"In 1885, the tenants are William and James Duncan, who emigrated to the United States of America before 1890. Succeeding tenants are Thomas McRobbie, a native of Rathen, Robert and John Chapman, who retired to Wellington Farm, parish of Turriff."

I have also had a look at the monumental inscriptions for Rathen and there are no McRobbies listed there.

When did George McRobbie die? What is his wife's surname?
