Interested to read of Alexander Hebenton & Isabella Robb. Alexander was from Brechin, Angus, Scotland. He was son of George Hebenton & Helen Wallace. Alexander had one sister, Susan (Mrs James Kidd) who continued to live in Brechin. Some of Alexander Hebenton & Isabella Robb's children appear living with this aunt during the censuses of 1881 & 1891. Alex. & Isabella are reputed to have had 13 children. The elder ones were not known very well by the younger ones, as the older ones returned to Scotland from Ceylon to further their education. I am in contact with descendants of the family in Australia & NZ. I should say that I don't know exactly how I am related to Alexander Hebenton, but as my ancestors came from the same area and the surname is extremely unusual I am sure we are related in some way. Please contact me if you would like more information on the Hebenton/Robb family.
