I will have have to get on the military records all this is new I didnt know she left the uk or that he was as a prisoner but he was killed by a tram in 1929 and she married again in 1931 to a Jack White so all the story ended then !!
The baptism is correct though as her eldest son was called Cecil. Also her 3 other children were born much later my Dad in 1922. I wondered why there was such a gap maybe POW is the rason why. Did it say how long and where he was a prisoner ?
I am in Spain so I would love to know what church in Gibraltar maybe I could visit and look at the records? Thats why I was to bed at 11 your time lol !!
Thank you again........Jaq

Record doen't give a Church for Cecil's baptism.

If I am reading the record correctly Robert was a POW in Germany from 24 October 1914 until he was repatriated on 10 January 1919.
