Hi, my great-grandmother was Violet Robins, the younger sister of John. I have been researching the family history and found a few bits on the Internet regarding him. I will include the screenshot. My great nan Violet was in no way cantankerous, she was lovely and always having a laugh.
She started a naughty family tradition (that I admit to doing  ;D), if you received bad service in a restaurant or cafe, then she would take something! Normally salt and pepper shakers, cups and cutlery  ;D
She died when I was quite young but I have heard many fond stories about her.
She also liked to have a gamble and would hide her winnings all over the place, like under the floorboards!
