I was about to ask who he married - when were his children born? 

Does his wife claim to be married/widowed later on or  :-\

There is a medal card for a Robert Softley from WW1 - could that be why he disappeared?
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

Hmm another UK and Ireland, Incoming Passenger Lists, 1878-1960 for Robert Softly. Does 5th of the address on these passenger lists mean anything ?

Robert Softly - aged 26 years - glass blower - going to 90 Gill Street. Newcastle Upon Tyne.
arriving 6 June 1926 - Montreal to Liverpool - on the Montrose. Intended future residence England.

He married Isabella in 1912.  Has three children between 1913 and 1916.  Disappears for a bit (Isabella on 1921 census as head of house and married).  then further child in 1926, after which he is never heard of again. (But this suggested to me perhaps a period of working abroad for several years, maybe starting another family.  Returning 1925 ish, it not working out, and him returning abroad again.)


Like you I got very excited over robert Finkle Softly, who would have fitted brilliantly. However I can find a Birth reg for Robert Finkle Softly, which rather spoilt my investigations >:(

Maybe he did not return to father the child born 1926, Isabella as a married woman could have registered the birth without him present.  I wonder who registered the birth

Thanks Sandra. I had tried that and just checked again. Ancestry doesn’t seem to show him.

Have you tried Electoral Registers 1921 - 1926?

Rosie has a valid point in that he may not be the father of the youngest child after such a gap.

Just musing really.
What occupation is given for him on any children's marriage certificates?
