Death of Annie Keen, formerly Brown, nee Johnston, 1932

[Peggy13]

Yes, the will that I have is for a Robert who died in Preston on Jan 10, 1979. Now obvious that it is the wrong Robert, especially now that you have his dob as Dec 11, 1902. I just went back in and looked for a will for another Robert who died 1979 and checked all the way to 1982. Perhaps he didn't have a will or perhaps it was not probated until after 1982.
Yes, I have written to the owner of the Burgess-Brown tree and am awaiting a reply. The info about Florence Farmer is new to the tree.
Thank you Gibel for the dob of the Robert Brown who died in  Preston.

I am pretty confident that Robert was born Sept 20, 1906. Agecroft Cemetery seems a likely location. So will look into burial Feb 23, 1979 as well as other info provided. I don't think his wife was Frances Thornhill but am not ruling it out at this point. That birth of Robert Bernard Brown looks inviting, since Annie was with Robert Bernard Keen in 1911. Thanks for everyone's help.

I thought it looked promising

[Peggy13]

By a strange coincidence, I had Robert's brother John Edward married to a Frances Thornhill in 1941.
But that marriage doesn't fit the rest of the family history. Perhaps the brothers wives got mixed up.

Not forgetting

Secondly, I now have the will of Robert Brown who died Jan 10, 1979, naming only his wife Amelia and his son Bryan Brown.

I can’t see one with a Farmer or Beeley mother
