Is it his death or his child's death. sometimes children are not sure of grandparent's names particularly if they did not know the grandparent well so wrong info is given. the other thing is, maybe he was Richard Alexander Robert and was known as Robert. It depends on who gives the info. I am still p'ed at my aunt, when my grandmother died she argued that my grandmother married in 1928, I said 1927 but she argued the point saying it would have been their 60th wedding anniversary on the day they buried Nana. I went home and checked, she was married in 1927 and it was the date the week before the burial. and then when I thought about it my Uncle was born in 1928 so nana would have been a but annoyed as well. But then my aunt (whom I love dearly) also got her grandmother's name wrong when she put the plaque on her grave, she has her as Henrietta instead of Harriet. She is a genealogists nightmare. But glad I could help in some way, not sure on the sex change however, in Family Tree maker you just go back to where you entered them and change the if to m.
