She was actually married to William Hendry's father:

ROBB
ELSPET
HENDREY
ALEXANDER
1861
131/ 5
Duffus

Your original post links to the Moray Library Index and has - as you know - a query mark against her death having occurred in the USA It's just a typed-up index card

The 1905 New York census doesn't show William's marital status - if he could be found in 1900, it might be more useful

Death:

ROBB
ELSPET
44
1891
135/ 141
Elgin

also listed as Hendry, interestingly, in view of illegitimate son's name:

HENDRY
ELSPET
44
1891
135/ 141
Elgin

and as MacKenzie:

MACKENZIE
ELSPET
44
1891
135/ 141
Elgin

Thanks Maddie. I have all the information on Jane. She was my GG Grandmother.

Anyone found a death record for Elspet Robb/Mckenzie yet, I'm struggling.

Now that links up with Meg's other thread about the Newlands and Hurn families:

Jessie Walker marries in 1902 and states her father is a labourer but her mother Elspet, is deceased.

BUT............ she is already accounted for in 1891, with husband and two of the children.

Thank you everyone, sorry only just seen these recent posts.

That is Jessie Walker Mckenzie birth.

There might be a connection with that McIntosh family. Elspet parents are John Robb and Jane Mcintosh.

Is this daughter Jessie's birth?
