	If it was him,then in 1910 he wasn't with his wife. She was with her mum Mary Small and siblings along with her son Robert k Hitchin 1903-1978. There is info on Ancestry about Robert and where he is buried. it also shows photos of him in later years. If you google Robert k Hitchin from USA Scroll down 1st page to My Family My People it takes you to www.findagrave.com. Maryb.

Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 45 Send Message	Hi Mary, Thanks for that info, maybe that's why we cannot find any more info on him in England. Not sure how we can verify if this is him but it does seem to fit as he was baptised in February 1859. Linda H
