Dear Benjamin,thankyou so much for your reply.My husband`s father was John Charles Tilburn B 1902 in Derbyshire,he married Nellie Olivant.John and Nellie had a collection of memorabilia about Robert`s life,including being a survivor of HMS HOOD.They always said Robert was a cousin of their family.I have just recently started writing my Life Story,and ploughing through all my papers.I am very interested to know if the story was true,and if so where does Robert Ernest Tilburn feature in our tree!Do you have a tree on Ancestry?You are welcome to view mine.I am so thrilled to have found someone in connection with Robert.

Kind Regards
Rozelle

Look forward to hearing from you

Hi Rozelle,

I can confirm that Robert was one of the 3 survivors from
HMS HOOD. If you google his full name you will find loads
of information. There is also a site for the HMS Hood Association. My tree is the Roxburgh Family Tree and I recently added Robert as I researched my wifes family.
Robert was born in Leeds on 3 Feb 1921 and died 24 Feb 1995.
Please free to view my tree.

Regard

Edward
