Tasmania,
I'm a descendant of Peter Robb (31 Jul 1840 - 19 Jul 1909) through his daughter Elizabeth and her son George Robb Cumming.

Please reply if you would like to chat about what I have on the Robbs.

In Braintree we have Beckwith and Dyster and in Halstead we have Newton

Thanks for the suggestions, I will follow through on your advice and see what happens 
Who knows---our ancestral base may not be what it seems--the old trap of things being taken for granted----

Cheers--have a good day
