Robb-1854 and Robb-788 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, spouse, birth, estimated death is close, same parents cited.

Robb-2161 and Robb-788 appear to represent the same person because: Some strangeness with the dates, but otherwise locations seem similar, and children/spouse match up.

Note: Source data (Family Search) shows father John's date of death to be in the year previous to the birth of Margaret. I imagine it is possible he died after she was conceived, but prior to her birth, although I haven't found supporting evidence of this.
