A Robert and Charles both have trees with the above-named (born in India). You could try contacting them (if they are still members).

A Charles W Vince married in Putna, India in 1941 (British Nationals Armed Forces marriages 1796-2005)

There's also this death in same area Charles died - could be connected:

Dorothy Margaret Vince
Birth Date:29 Jan 1906
Date of Registration:Feb 1997
Age at Death:91
Registration district:Worthing
Inferred County:West Sussex
Register Number:4B11C
District and Subdistrict:7864B
Entry Number:214

IF connected, that would make her a bit older than Charles, and could have had a 19 year old child........but like I say speculation.

Do those overseas marriages give any indication of the spouse Choccy?

Charles W Vince- spouse Murray 1941 Patna Page 263 Line number 7

Should be able to search for spouse- but I'm struggling with FMP search

Oh, think this is the spouse:

DOROTHY
Last name MURRAY
Marriage year 1941
Marriage place PATNA
Country INDIA
Page 263
Line number 57
Spouse: VINCE

So, if the this is the same couple as the parents of the children posted by Choccy, then she had to have been married before to have the mn Roberts.

Can't see a marriage for a Dorothy roberts to a Murray though in E/Wales

Her sister Lucy Regina Roberts, born 31/8/1908 (same place) married Eric William Enid O'sullivan 10/5/1926 in Bankipore. They were also living in Croydon in 1963/5, but she died in Bromley.

Can't see a marriage in India (familysearch) for Dorothy/Margaret to a Murray though.

Thank you so much everyone, I can't believe how kind you all are to help us in this way. I don't have time to read it all in detail now for a couple of days as we have visitors but will do so ASAP. One more question, my next step, is that to order birth, marriage and death certificates to get some proof?
Thank you again, I would never have got anywhere near all that information without you, I know one elderly lady that could be very happy with any results I may find.

I would be fairly comfortable with the deaths of Georgina May and Charles William, their dob match the father's military record. Maybe get their marriage certificates first to confirm they have the right father and, if so, you will get the age and marital status of their spouse? Then do a bit more digging.

There are no obvious children for Harry/Georgina Smith, but Charles may have the 2 posted - although where they went after Robert's marriage is still a mystery. There's no sign of any children for Robert and wife either.

The death certificates will give the informant, but if we have the right Charles his wife out-lived him so will possibly be the informant. We have no idea of Harry's age so don't know when he died.

But, if money is no object, buy the lot

:-D

Thanks Flip, I've just got my head around it all and will attempt to contact those in here that mention Robert in their personal family trees next. Lots of great information, it all seems to make sense doesn't it.

Thank you everyone, very grateful for your time and help. Will keep you posted.

I'm with Flip- I'd start with the death certificates for Georgina and Charles W. and hopefully the one for Charles will shed light on any marriage/ children.

Did you make contact with descendants of Priscilla- it seems she had at least one son. I wondered if he/ or his family knew of any possible cousins?

Thanks Gritty. We have had contact with Priscilla's family but as I think was so often the case, family matters weren't really discussed. I shall order the certificates as suggested.
Thank you.
