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

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

She was actually married to William Hendry's father:

ROBB
ELSPET
HENDREY
ALEXANDER
1861
131/ 5
Duffus

Hendry is the surname of her son on 1861 census...................

Didn't you look for info on SP?

Living in Dunbar Street in 1861 - and so was Elspet, with her family, at 19 Dunbar Street:

ErikaH posted FMP's version of 1861 for Elspet, but Ancestry's gives the house number, so here it is again:

I wonder why she married as Robb in 1868?

MCKENZIE
WILLIAM
ROBB
ELSIE
1868
131/ 16
Duffus

I did look on SP but year of birth was 10 years out thats why I didn't come across it.

I haven't researched in a while, so just getting my head these websites again.

Thanks again for all your help, much appreciated.

That has surprised that she was married before.

No sign of Alexander's death before 1868, so I expect they separated and she reverted to her maiden name.


Alexander's with the children and his wife Janet in 1851.
She died in 1856.
