Further to Reply #17.
After trawling through records on the Mariners & Ships in Australian Waters database for the ss 'Fiona', the 'R Oliver' who appears on ships passenger/crew lists around 1907 is Ralph Oliver.

I also checked the Australian ER for 1913 St Leonards, Sydney, NSW which has a Ralph Oliver and Dorrillia Oliver living at 35 Edward street.  Ralph is a Cook.

So I can now exclude this 'R Oliver'.

Based on solid records, it turns out Janet didn’t remarry after 1892. That early death date was a red herring—Robert Sr. lived until about 1928, and Janet stayed his wife until her death in 1933. She’s buried under the name “Janet Roberts Henderson” in Omaha. So Robert Jr. kept the Henderson surname, which helps! You’ll find him born in 1892 in Cumbernauld, moved with the family to Illinois, then Nebraska, and buried in the same cemetery as his mom: Westlawn-Hillcrest in Omaha.

Still does not find Robert jnr but his father died 1892. Still a chance Janet remarried.
