    Notes 
    • Note that in his funeral notice, the first two mentioned children are William and Margaret (both deceased). William is Robert William who died in WWII but no record yet found for Margaret's birth or death. Given rest of children are mentioned in birth order, it is assumed she may have been a twin who died as a baby. It is possible she was born in 1907 as there is 19 months between the births of Robert William and Alfred Charles.
