I think it is quite unlikely that the Petrie lines are not connected. You are correct in your assumption about Robertina having died early. My father says that she is said to have died at age 5 and that his grandfather was reputed to have been completely broken-hearted. I have found the family photo and will have it scanned when I can. Kind regards Derek
