Hi Wendy, Thanks for getting in touch.
It's been several years since this thread started, and I've amassed quite a bit of detail since then about the Robbs, but your info is new so that's great.
Alexander Campbell Robb was actually the nephew of "my" William Campbell Robb. Alexander's father James was William's brother, and THEIR father was George Robb (1810-1883).
I'm guessing James took his family to Canada between 1891 and 1901, as they don't appear in the Scottish 1901 Census. Do you have any information on this?
I'm also not sure about your saying that James' wife was Jane WEST, as I have her maiden name as Jane ROSS (from Alexander's birth registration) and their marriage date as 28 July 1846 in Rathen (from Wiliam's birth registration). Could she have been married to someone else at some time?
I'm happy to exchange information with you and I'll send you a PM with a link to my tree.
Best wishes.
John
