William Law McRobbie
« on: Monday 14 March 11 22:46 GMT (UK) »
Looking for descendants of William Law McRobbie born 1901 in Aberdeen.  Mother was Elizabeth Alexander McRobbie and William Law.  I know that William Law was a Railway Guard.
He was eligitimate.

Have you checked Scotlands People for a marriage for him and then for any children born to that marriage

Yes I know that he married a widow Christine Milne in 1924 she already had children.  As far as I know he moved to Australia in 1926 on his own and lived there until 1953.  He shows up on various Electoral Rolls in Victoria from then an on the 1949 Rolls he has a wife Anne.  He moved to England in 1953 and died in Hackney London in 1984. I would like to know if he had any children to either Christine Milne or his second wife anne.  Have got most of my info from Scottspeople.

If he only married Christine in 1926 and moved to Australia on his own in 1926 - it leaves a very short timescale for the birth of a child.  Christine must have been a lot older than him

According to the free index on the link below - he left London for Brisbane in 1924 which is the year he married Christine
