Trying to confirm details of robert william including his date of death.
the date we had appears incorrect as we have found a letter from him to my gran informning her of her mothers death. this is after the date we have helen as passing away on.

so we believe it would be after 13/12/1956

thanks colin. (excuse me if i make mistakes here - I'm from australia and places there sometimes confuse me)

I don't think that is the right robert. I do have the marriage cert. it is dated as married nov 15 1911. Robert was apparently 21. He was a labourer living in Plumbland (?) at the time. His father was John Armstrong a fireman
