Robina/Reubena Lochie transported to Australia in 1834

Heck...shipwrecked  Well, that likely stops that line of enquiry.

There are so few Lochies in Clackmannan (in fact, it is an uncommon surname in Scotland, even with the possible variants, such as Lockie, Leckie etc.).

I wonder if we could get an age from any of the convict indexes, to at least try to place her on a possible timeline?

Poor Mary Lochie - a watery grave ! She didn't deserve that.
I agree with you Monica - Lochie and variants was not terribly common at that time. Loch was more common.

There was also a James Lockie.
Found him in the Scotland archives, i wont post the details but he can be found on the below link.

Also found this.

Edited.. At last a age for one of them, not that it helps any at the moment. I think this fella was a fair bit older than the others maybe.

I cant find anything in the newspapers about him stabbing a man, i did find a article but he was charged with something else. Maybe the jenwilletts site has a error.

Im just trying to find something to connect any of these other names to Robina.

  Thanks everyone for the wonderful help.Robina was 19 years old in 1835 when she married Edward Alders in Australia so she was born abt 1815 -1816 .I could never find anyone with the Lochie surname.She is called Lockie on her marriage cert.What is the origin of the surname.

Hi chinka,

It's possible the name Lochie came originally from the name Lachlan/Lauchlin.
It's interesting that you mention earlier that Robina has been recorded as Robin Lacklin. Her pronunciation of her name would lead to varied spelling.
