      I cannot determine whose son Robert is. I'm fairly sure he was Harry's or maybe Dixie's. He could have been a change of life baby but it's more likely he was Alice's grandson, not son, because in 1930, he is listed as "nephew". Either or both of the other records may or may not be the correct Thomas.
