Default Dame Flora Robson's Parents!
Hope someone might be able to help. A friend has said that they were told they were related to Flora Robson and I am trying to prove or disprove this for them with some family history research. However I cannot find the names of Flora's parents. I think her mum was Eliza but if anyone can tell me her mums maiden name or her fathers first name i would be very grateful. many thanks.

Flora was born in South Shields March 28th 1902.

Hi, according to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Flora was born in South Shields. Her father was David Mather Robson and her mother was Eliza Mckenzie. Hope this helps!

You should have said "Yeah, and I'm Paul Newman"

They married in June-Aug 1890 in South Shields and it looks as if Flora had a brother, also called David Mather, who was born in Jun-Aug 1900.

Yes. I just used FreeBMD Home Page to do a search for her father and it threw up his marriage and a birth that must almost certainly have been her brother.
