My grandfather I think committed suicide in England on the way back from the war

If Robert John served in WWI and died on his way home, how did they have so many children.
Something isn't adding up.

Married 1913, first child 1914, second 1915.

He's a soldier on the second birth in 1915, war ended 1918, may not have been on his way home until 1919.

So how often could he have been home between 1915 and 1918, I think you need to ask about his regiment n the Armed Forces board.

He was a Gunner in the Royal Artillery

Yes but where was the Royal Artillery and when, does his service record survive, would he have been home during the war, did he get a medal and so on? If he wasn't discharged at the time of his death would his death be in the Civil Registration Deaths.
I'm just trying to figure out when the rest of the children were born.

As far as I know my father John was the eldest and he definitely had 2 sisters and I think three brothers - his mother Florence Harrison lived in Ladys Lane and also Cameron Square in Dublin

Names I think are:
Tommy (Thomas)
Bobby
May
Vicky I think died very young
Benjamin
 
Robert John Harrison I do not have any information on other than he died on the way back from war

Victoria Harrison died aged 13 in 1933 daughter of a printer, informant mother Florence.

Looks like Robert John was still alive in 1933.
Things are making more sense now.

[HarrisonIreland]

I have now added Victoria to my family tree as this is correct

What is confusing me is she seems to have been born in 1920 and presuming my grandfather Robert John died on the way back from the war - who is her father?

I think my Father may have also been Robert John if we can check this and this would explain he was alive in 1933 and not my grandfather

[Sinann]

The death cert says Victoria is the daughter of a printer, it should say he was deceased if he was dead at the time, I'm not convinced he died just after WWI.
I think something has got mixed up over the years.
