Have you looked for a death?

Have you found other family members?

I have looked for death and possible marriage.
He was my grandfather's brother and I have found all the family except Robert.

This man's a miner, which is the only reason I'm posting it. There's not enough info to know if he could be your Robert or not.

Robert Hill isn't an unusual name, unfortunately.
