Sorry, no other sources. The score is 3 for Robertson & 1 for Robinson.

Mary is deceased by 20 Jul 2002 as per Lottie Lillian¹s obit; is alive in 13
Jun 1995 as per Laura Mae¹s obit. She died sometime between 1995 and 2002.

One possibility is someone searching their Herald CD under ³Wright² & Mary
Robertson ­ Robinson² which would take us to roughly 2000.

I have her husband as Stewart so will add his name to the bucket to see if
there¹s anything in the index for Stewart Robertson / Robinson. Also, Bessie
Eudena ³Dee² (Wright) Chapman obit.
