Mona/Mina Robertson Eastbourne in 1958
« on: Sunday 12 June 22 11:04 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information on an Old Peoples Home which was situated at 21 Southfields Road Eastbourne. It was there in 1958. I am trying to find the name of the lady who was running the home. She was married to my great uncle George Robertson who was born in Scotland. It looks as if her first name was either Mona or Mina according to the 1939 census but I cannot find a marriage either in Scotland or England for anyone with that first name. I have George's death certificate but it was the Coroner for the district who registered trhe death not his wife. George had unfortunately hung himself in the garden of the home. Has anyone any idea where to go from here? I also cannot find a death for Mona/ Mina Robertson under that name. I would be grateful for any help

Not sure if I'm on the right track here but "only daughter of Mr and Mrs George Robertson, of 215 Southbourne-road" got married in Oct.1958 the month before George died. Her birth, also in Eastbourne (as well as two younger brothers), was 1935 giving mother's maiden name as Elms.

Marriage of George Robertson to Elsie G. Elms in 1934 also Eastbourne-
Marriages Dec 1934
Elms    Elsie G    Robertson    Eastbourne    2b   238
Robertson    George    Elms    Eastbourne    2b   238

Possible birth?
Births Mar 1912
Elms    Elsie G    Masson    Eastbourne    2b   114
