You have an existing thread with lots of info which would prove useful in finding anything about this family so I am posting a link below:

EDIT - Actually, on reading through that thread it would appear that it already contains the information you require on Robert so I think it would be best to delete this new thread and continue on the original one, adding a further request for any more specific info that you require.

Yep- seems to be answered on the previous thread- wife was Mary Elizabeth Brown- she married Robert Brown in 1904.

What factual evidence you have re Doris death, I'm not sure- as explained on previous thread death was likely 1991.

Please re read your previous thread, as the information you require is there- I also sent you the original image of Doris sister's birth from Scotlands People.

If the information supplied is not correct, please let us know why, and what facts you have.
