www.rootsweb.com states that Robert Latto died abt. 1870 in Patterson, Passaic Co., NJ (USA) and lists his wife's name as Doig.

This is the marriage of Robert Latta and Margaret Doig. Note the variant in spelling. The IGI doesn't recognize LATTA AND LATTO as the same so they have to be searched separately: The following children are given as being born to this couple: ISOBEL LATTA - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Birth: 11 DEC 1819 Christening: 26 DEC 1819 Dysart, Fife , Scotland CATHERINE LATTA - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 14 APR 1822 Dysart, Fife , Scotland MARGARET LATTA - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Birth: 25 MAR 1824 Christening: 11 APR 1824 Dysart, Fife , Scotland GRACE LATTA - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Birth: 05 MAY 1828 Christening: 25 MAY 1828 Dysart, Fife , Scotland
