May I suggest that you write or phone the ROAB and ask if they can assist you in your quest?

I did look at Google images and I get the impression that blue features in the clothes worn.

Any chance that the children were baptised?  You give no indication as to how many children this couple had nor what the couple's first names were.

Have you thought about searching births and including the mother's maiden name? 

Do I take it that the daughter's birth name would be Allan?  If so then her mother's maiden name would be different.  You give no indication as to where the couple lived other than central belt of Scotland.

The death is registered in Stirling, is that where they lived or did they move around?

Welcome to Rootschat  :D

A tough nut to crack re his burial isn't he!  Have you considered contacting Doncaster City Council.  They do searches but it will be expensive as the date is before 1995. However if you know the exact date he died they may be able to find it faster.

I don't know if there may be anything in a local newspaper re his death which may state where he is   buried.  Local library perhaps for that.

Then one wonders why they bothered to put that information on Family Search if they aren't willing to receive messages from anyone.  ???

Interesting.  Some time ago when you were searching family trees on Family Search there was the option to contact the person who did the tree.  That information doesn't seem to exist any more.

It is just the name of the ancestor with a number attached. That therefore makes it difficult to follow up on that ancestor.  To me it seems pointless to put ancestor information without any means of contacting the originator for further information.

Going by Ashtone's information there is this birth:-

SPIERS, ALBERT  SYDNEY     TAYLOR 
GRO Reference: 1900  S Quarter in BIRMINGHAM  Volume 06D  Page 100

As you can see has a second name of Sydney, so may not be the correct Albert.

Did he work for the LMS railway company?  If so the below may help give you some pointers for further information:-

Gloucestershire / Re: Harry Dunn

If the family I have found is correct then this is his birth registration:-

DUNN, HENRY       LUMBARD 
GRO Reference: 1892  S Quarter in BARTON REGIS  Volume 06A  Page 52

Presumably known as Harry by the family.
