Were you able to get a copy of Roberts death cert , it may have given a clue to his and the familys whereabouts in 1928?

Thank you Brendan. I only discovered this daughter by accident due to her unusual name spelling, Madeline, because in the 1911 Census she was not with her family but with her Myers grandparents in Kilkenny. She was named for her grandmother, Madeline Turnbull, and she also had an aunt, Madeline Halpin. So, it is only from your assistance that I have learned she had a first name Elizabeth, her maternal grandmother's name. Your suggested lines of enquiry are good.
