Searching for the family of Mary Ann Robb b: 1820 (perhaps France or Scotland) d: 1844 Tasmania
What I have: In 1835 Charles is identified as the father of Mary Ann Robb, a porter, of Overgate Dundee (trial record of Mary Ann) In trial record of Susan Robb in 1839 he is shown as a porter of Whitehall Close, Dundee. Both Mary Ann and Susan were transported to Australia. Susan was pregnant. Susan left Australia for America c 1854 after her marriage.
Heresay says they were born in France??? and their mother was Elizabeth and they fled France during the French wars.. Any ideas on how to confirm this?
Maryann B: 20/02/1820
Susan B: Abt 1823
Jessie?? B: abt 1826 – in Dumfries
In April 1838 Susan and her sister Margaret appear before a magistrate at Dundee for stealing plus at least once more before Susan was transported in 1839.
Maryann named her three children born in Tasmania – Jessie, Elizabeth & Maryann.
Conjecture on my part – Could this be Maryann’s family?:
Several births with Father Charles and Mother Elizabeth [Dalling] in Dumfries, Scotland.
Elizabeth Robb Ch: 3/1/1822
Margaret Robb ch 10/3/1826
John Robb B: 4/4/1828 Bp 9/4/1828 D: 08/03/1839
John Robb B: 10/10/1830
Elizabeth Robb Ch: 3/1/1822
Margaret Robb ch 10/3/1826
Charles Robb Abt 1833
Tried the 1841 census but I don’t have enough information to ascertain whether they are same family.
Any pointers or assistance appreciated
