I'm running out of luck now.
I'd try the Armed Forces board if I was you.
Robert John is a solider on that Benjamin birth.
I can't see a death for Benjamin.
Did Florence keep the family in Ireland?

The problem now is all the men are lighthouse keepers and so they move around a lot so their children could be born all over the country, plus they are COI so parish records are not online yet, they will be some day but it could be a long wait,  but many were lost in the famous fire of 1922.

I have to sleep now.
You could have a look on Irish Genealogy to see what else can be found.

There is some church records there as well, not for the whole country though.

A possibility to keep in mind
Anne Stockdale's father is a steward named Robert.
There is a Robert Stockdale Estate Bailiff aged 68 widower in the 1901 Census
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Monaghan/Castleblayney_Urban/Church_Street/1629589/
Assuming that steward means land steward I wonder if this is her father in 1901 doing a less demanding but related job.
