Thanks for your offer of help with Elizabeth Butler, Dorothy.
I'll send you a private message, as we can't clutter up this thread with unrelated stuff!.

('Google') 'Ancient Faces' shows John Skinner ROBB died in VIC 1958. You could try the "State Library of VIC' (on-line) -it has an 'Ask Us' librarian service. They can check electoral rolls and trace the 'ROBB' family from their arrival+ (1950's). They MAY also find newspaper death notice/s too. (Seems they settled in Victoria).

I was just going to say there is a tree on ancestry with them in.....but it is yours so you know where they were living up until 1958

I take it you are in contact with Douglas that also has a tree on ancestry?
