Biography

Research Notes

Profile had the the following statement about 1841 census, which does not necessaarily match this person with the name Euphamia. There is another 1841 census with David Robb and Betty Rob, ages match, and Betty is the name she used in other sources

On the 1841 census James Robb, age 55, is living with his children and his mother Euphamia, age 85, in Bankhead, Monikie.^[5] This Census is referenced in the Find a Grave for James and his granddaughter, but it could be a different James and possibly no Betty.
In the 1841 census Betty (age 84) and David (age 78) were in Garly Bank, Kirriemuir, Angus.^[6]

Profile had death location in Iowa, United States. which has been removed. Her son James died in Iowa, but he did not go to Iowa until after the 1851 census. Her husband's death date is 1862 in Scotland, so it is doubtful, she would have gone to Iowa ahead of anyone at her advanced age.

Hardy-10106 and Hardy-981 appear to represent the same person because: same/similar dates, nothing conflicting, same husband

Please review Research Notes that have been added to this profile.

1841 census mentioned in Find a Grave pages for son James and granddaughter is not necessarily the same person, since the name of Euphamia is not seen in other sources. New 1840 census has been added that has Betty with her husband David, which is probably the correct one.
death location of Iowa removed because her son and granddaughter may have died there but doubtful she would go there at her age after the1841 census since son James is listed in 1851 census, same location as the 1841 census, if that is her son.
linked son Peter is for a different couple. Birth sources are added for the 3 children, showing they all listed mother as Betty, not Elizabeth, all born in Airlie, not Eassie and Nevay as Peter is, and Peter is born a few month earlier than son Alexander, who birth source matches the others. Note added also to Peter's profile.
