There is an anc tree for a Robina McTavish born 1899 - 1969 Yorkton Saskatchewan which claims she married Malcolm Macdonald and had 3 children -  :-\

The Canada Ocean arrivals forms 30A seem to link the Anderson and Macdonald couple.
Then there is a 1916 census with the couple and the son Linton  :-\ strange.

Mr Robina McDonald (should be Mrs Robins McDonald) abt 1900 Birth Place Garmouth, Scotland
Age 20
Date of Arrival Jun 1920 Port of Arrival Quebec - Port of Departure Glasgow, Scotland
Ship Name Sicilian
It does say she had not been in Canada previously. Going to join husband to reside in Robin Manitoba Canada.

I found another possible couple on the 1921 census - Marquette Manitoba.  This would look more realistic if they had just married - no children yet.

Malcolm McDonald   24 born Saskatchewan. Farmer. Own Account.
Renlena McDonald   21 born Scotland. Imm 1920.

This could be a possible - Robina McDonald - Birth Year abt 1900 - 4 June 1984  Nanaimo
Death Age 84 - mothers name might not be correct  :-\
Grand-daughter was the informant.

Perhaps the granddaughter (the informant) -

Wow! You've been very busy.

Yes, the ones going to Robin/Roblin are the ones I am looking for. So my hunch that they all emigrated to Canada seems to have been right. It all fits together - Robina first with her husband, then some of her siblings, then her mother and the rest of the siblings.

I shall enjoy going through all that wealth of information :)

Thank you very much indeed.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
