assuming you mean the 1914 Robert John, not his father.

My father I think was born in 1914 I dont have a date for this brother Robert known as Bobby can you help here?
Also I have just found that my great Great Grandfather John George who started was a Lighthouse Keeper until he seems to have been promoted to a Superintendent of Irish Lights I think was born in Belfast - do you have any more information on him?

I wondered if  Robert John only used John and is your father and if Bobby is another brother born after 1916 perhaps with Robert as a second name but used Robert/ Bobby.

How many children did they have, Robert John died on his way home from the war so they didn't have time to have more than three. Yes?
Do you know any more about Robert John's death?

Just remembered you said there was a daughter as well.

My father John Harrison as far I know had brothers called Thomas and a sister called May and another brother i mentioned before called Bobby which could be short for something maybe my father was Robert John and known as John/Johnny
