Hester Maria Robinson

NB: Dates of birth and death differ between death notice from grave stone!!! Death notice birth date out by one year (1887) and death date 14 Feb 1970 instead of 23 Feb. (Not sure which one is correct, but obviously an error from either the gravestone maker of death notice scribe!)
