  • Notes 
    • Robert is listed in the 1911 Census as a 6-year-old living with his parents in Londonderry.

      Robert Woodburn, 17, single, motor mechanic, arrived in New York on Oct.16, 1921, aboard the "Cameronia" from Londonderry. His father is Matthew Woodburn of 55 Beechwood Avenue, Londonderry. He is travelling with his aunt Martha B. Calvin (43, married) who is a US citizen and is returning home to 50 North Michigan Avenue, Pasadena, California. Martha was the sister of Robert's mother, Lila Buchanan. (This may be the Martha Buchanan who, according to the 1901 Census was a 23-year-old Presbyterian running a cycle shop in Omagh, County Tyrone. She married Hugh Lyle Calvin on Apr.28, 1909, in Los Angeles County, California. Acoording to both the 1910 and 1920 Censuses they were living in Pasadena, California.)

      According to Michael Higgns, Robert was nicknamed "Red." He came to America around 1928, sponsored by Minnie Woodburn. According to Betty Woodburn Hagn, Robert had at least two children (girls), was divorced and worked for Pan Am airlines.
