Hi All,
Sorry to jump on this fairly old thread, but I've only just discovered RootsChat.
My great-grandfather was James Cleghorn Robb b. abt 1887 possibly in Bothwell in Scotland.
His parents were James Robb & Ellen (aka Nellie) Wilson.
James' (Senior) parents were Andrew Robb & Margaret Cleghorn, so it seems James (Junior) got his middle name from his grandmother's maiden name.
Andrew & Margaret were married on 3 Aug 1845 in Bothwell. I guess Margaret could have been the brother of the Jno Cleghorn mentioned in the 1871 census information that Ruskie has previously posted.
Does anyone have anything that may confirm this?
Best Regards,
Andy
