Re: William Farquhar born about 1751 ABOYNE Aberdeen.
I found your post from 2 years ago with a Google search cos I was trying to find out about Euphemia Farquhar who it appears is my great great great grandmother.
From the searches I've made, it seems William Farquhar and Jannet Smith from Aboyne were her parents although I wonder whether the dates I have are correct as Euphemia was born 31/05/1801. 50 seems old to be having children in the 18th century but your birth date for Robert seems to back this up. Euphemia married a Peter Boyd at St Cuthberts Edinburgh on 05/05/1830 and they had a daughter Margaret, who in turn married a George Gardner in Shotts in 1862
Assuming this is the same William Farquhar and Jannet Smith, your post has helped with dates as I hadn't been able to trace anything on them.
