Here is a link to the 1921 census for Quirpon. You'll notice there is only one family of Robottom's and there is a son named Herbert age 26 in that family. You'll also notice that at Beatrice's wedding one witness was Herbert Robottom,May be her brother.

Just something you can check out further.

Good Luck
