Hi Len,
A small point.

transcribed them. And they are essential viewing IF you know which parish
to research.
However, I am often searching for a famil

Hello Russell,
James Robb (yes, ROBB) is recorded as a leaseholder of a farm in the townland
of Rakelly, in the 1858 Griffiths Valuation of Ardstraw Parish, Co. Tyrone.
Rakelly adjoins the village of Newtownstewart. To act as a referee for an

“Robb” sounds a very likely rendering
This would tie in with sentiments expressed to me many years ago by my own pal,
Leslie Robb, of Geneva, Switzerland – a smart geography teacher and enthusiast,
Belfast-born and a man with very strong co. Tyrone Robb and Patterson
connections!

My guess the person was having a hard time reading someone's handwriting
when they did this record. My guess they meant James Robb of Rakelly who
is in the Griffiths. See:

Hi Russell,
