Biography

Peter was born about 1820.

Peter Robb married Janet Stephen on or after 29 September 1838 in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1]

Peter's was the only Robb/Stephens marriage in Peterhead (1838). These are the baptisms. The first three have no mother's name recorded.

ROBB GEORGE LEITH PETER ROBB/JANET STEPHEN FR1268 (FR1268) M 08/11/1854 232/ 40 445 Peterhead

In the 1841 Census he is living with two other Robb seamen at Ronheads in Peterhead. The 1841 Census didn't ask married or unmarried. So it's possible he was married but staying with these other Robbs on the night of the census.

Research

There were two other children born to a Peter Robb in Peterhead, but, like his son Peter's baptism record the mother's name is not recorded.

ROBB JANET PETER ROBB/ F 15/07/1840 232/ 40 143 Peterhead
ROBB WILLIAM PETER ROBB/ M 27/04/1842 232/ 40 177 Peterhead

The state took over Birth Registration in 1855 and there were several more Robb children born in Peterhead after 1855, but the parents are not shown on Scotlandspeople.
