Information about Lorna from Mark Ezard, grandson of Lorna's second husband Frank Ezard.
My grandfather was married to Lorna Robinson whom I loved dearly. As a child, my brother, sister and I would go with my dad to visit her and Frank in Stoney Creek, Ontario. Lorna became a big part of our family and was living in a nursing home in Kelowna, BC where my parents live. Lorna passed away in August (2003).....just before her birthday.

" WILLIAM JOHN ROBINSON
After a lingering illness of seven months, death claimed a highly-respected resident of Vinemount, Ont, last evening, in the person of William John Robinson. Deceased had been a fruit grower at Vinemount for the past fifteen years, having moved there from this city, where he resided on Picton street for a number of years. While a resident of Hamilton he was for 22 years employed on the Great Northwestern and Grand Trunk railways as baggageman and expressman. He was born at Dunedin, Ont., 64 years ago, and when quite a young man married Lydia Jane Newlove, who predeceased him 24 years ago. He later married Alice Taylor, who survives him. Besides his widow, he leaves to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and loving father, one son, Angus, at home, and three daughters: Mrs. William St. Johns, Stoney Creek; Loma and Marguerite, at home, and one son, William John, of this city, and one daughter, Dorothy (Mrs. Ed. Harrison), of Detroit, of the first family. The funeral will take place on Monday, from his late residence, to Hamilton cemetery, by motor. Services will be held at the house at 1.30 p.m. Monday."

F.R. Riddell was Frank Riddell. Frank never had a middle initial according to existing documentation and as confirmed by his daughter Dorothy Roe. G.P. Riddell was George Oscar Riddell who sometimes was known as George Pat Riddell.
