This look like a possible match from the marriage

But have a look at other options to be sure https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1&countryId=1927084


You could order a research cert From the GRO Roscommon http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/General-Register-Office.aspx
or use GRONI https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk.
I haven't used GRONI but there will be someone here who can explain if you need it.

Scotland's People would be the place to look for Robert. Again not one I've used be someone here will know it.

Thanks to Rosball for the information, my uncle's fathers name was William, mothers name was Mary Anne. Could be the correct person.

Hi Jimbo,
   The children are probably still alive so you should remove their names from your post.  To do this hit the modify button and backspace over the names.

   Are you sure that they lived in Victoria?  It is not an uncommon name but I have looked on 1968 electoral rolls in victoria for a couple with those names without success.

regards,
   Ros
