Searching for Information on Robert Dobbie Born Cathcart Renthrew Scotland IN 1820 Married Helen Rose on Jan 16 1842 IN Bothwell Lanark Scotland Died ...
(b 1864; m Alex McKinley) - Lily Graham Dobbie (b 1858; m Archie Hamilton) - Robert Dobbie - William Dobbie - Georgina Rose Dobbie - Alexander King Dobbie (b 1856; m Catherine Elizabeth Ferguson). I believe one of Robert's 1/2 brothers was General William Dobbie. Any information on this family would be much appreciated. Thanks.
