I wonder what happened to Robert PATERSON
Birth abt 1903 in St Peter, Hertfordshire, England.

Father: Robert PATERSON
1867 – 1913

Mother:Margaret McCall SLIMMON

Does anyone have any hints as to where I could look next please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

The first thing is to get this posting into the correct county. 
[ I'll ask a moderator ]

There is a potential birth match . . . . .

Very easy mistake to make, only one letter different.

Oak Farm is postcode AL4 9HR. Use Streetmap.co.uk to pinpoint where it is now?

Hi

It's probably worth checking the HALS indices.

Just use Paterson and post-1900.

There's one or two interesting Paterson entries, especially as they owned a sizeable farm.
His baptism is listed.

According to the probate calendar she was a widow and left a will and a sizeable estate which might make interesting reading
