Robb Family in Aberdeenshire

[Traprain]

I am trying to obtain information on the parents and the paternal grandparents of of Alexander Robb (born 19th August 1807 at Fyvie) I know his father was James Robb who married Jean (Jane) Sim, and I know that James Robb's parent's were Alexander Robb (or Rob) and that his mother was Margaret Wilson.

IGI searches have confirmed the relationships but do not provide their date or place of birth. All the information that I have obtained places them all in the Fyvie, Methlick, and Auchterless, but unfortunately there seems to be a large contingent of Robbs in that locality, which causes confusion.

If anybody can provide any additional information or suggest how I can obtain some from other sources, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks

I suspect that it is a different lot of Robbs but have a look at

Thanks for your help. I have looked at the Kildrummy link and like you indicated, they are probably another group of Robbs, all of which were born after the turn of the 18th century in another locality. Never realized that Robb was such a popular name, particularly in Aberdeenshire.
