Hello Ivor,
Are you looking for early information on James, or more recent info on the family ( children of James).
Possible James on 1841 and 1851 Scotland census. 1861 onwards UK census.
There is a possible Mary Emily on 1911 census.
Best wishes

Hiya ...in 1881 he is in 16 Browside Everton,Liverpool..Everton were a Top class Football team and Liverpool weren`t even thought of...lol
Household
James Allan McRobie 45 b Scotland
Mary Emily wife 37 Liverpool
Christian Selina dau 20
Maria dau 18
Emily Jane dau 10
William Howarth son 8
James Allan son 5
Lambert Crichton son3
Ernest John son 2
Albert Edward son 8 months
so I presume another child was born after 1881..
.obviously between the birth of Emily Jane and Maria ( 8 years ) Maria dies and James marries Emily
marriage of James to Emily is here
1870 at St Augustines church,Everton, Liverpool 2046WD/3/212 www.lancashirebmd.org.uk

Hi Steeterquinlan
Just read your post and sounds very interesting and exciting , your gt gt grandfather and gt grandfather, if everything is correct are the same as mine, can you confirm that the Maria in question is Maria Mcrobie, born 1863 in West derby, liverpool and Married Joseph Weigh in 1890.

Hi Ivor . Yes that's correct . Joseph Weigh and Maria Mc Robie had a son and daughter . The son Edwin Mcrobie Weigh was my grandfather . He was born in Nantwich area in 1896 . I never met him he died before I was born . I knew nothing of the McRobie Liverpool / Scotland connection until recently . It seems we are cousins . Best Regards skeeter

Thanks . I'll check that site out , its down at present . Do you know how far the family goes back in Scotland . Part of the Robertson clan I think . And how they ended up in Everton . cheers
-
the father James was an engineer - Liverpool was the busiest Port in the world at that time in the mid 1800's ...so he probably came for the money - or - if he was a Ships Engineer , he may have been transferred from Dundee ( another busy seaport) to Liverpool by the Shipping Company he worked for. I suppose we will never know ...looking at the addresses of Leece Street and Conway Street , he was quite comfortable money wise ... :)

It will amuse my son to find out his father has engineers and a master plumber as forebears . The practicality gene has passed me by .
-
Skype is beyond me (lacking practicality gene ) but I can manage email . Are you still in Crewe, Nantwich area ?
-
Small world . I live about 25 mins away from where you work .cheers skeeter .

Hi Skeeter
I'm from Crewe and Nantwich area, but I'm out in Europe working and living in Hungary, been out in Europe for the last 22 years, Edwin had one son Allan Desmond who died in the war in 1943 on return from a bombing raid in Germany plane came down in Lincolnshire and there is more to this story which I can tell you about if you don't already know, and I believe 3 daughters, 2 died at birth and the 3rd daughter I believe named Joyce, is that your Mum, am I right or not?.
