	Robina's mother died when she was 13, she was unofficially 'adopted' by Aunty Ann.No evidence offered; loosely documented.
Biography Notes	Robina was born on 1/5/1842 to Christine and Donald Leslie. They also had a son, Simon, earlier on 1/6/1840. When it became compulsory to use register births in 1842, Donald Leslie (father) rushed to Adelaide to have these two children first on the list. Her mother died about 1855, when Robina was about 13 years old, and so she lived with her aunt Ann Jeffreys, nee McLean at Belvidere. Ann's first husband, Robert Leslie, was the brother of Donald Leslie who was Robina's father. (ref : BRB p482) So, for a while there were two Robina's in Ann's household - Robina Leslie and Ann's own daughter Robina Jeffreys who was about 9 years younger. Robina Leslie married Robert George Stewart of Willunga SA on 11/7/1865. (ref:BRB p484) [1, 3]
