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.

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.
