ROBERT BURNS LAUGHTON (1900 - 1977)

Robert "Bob" Laughton was the 4th child and 3rd son of David Laughton 1861. Unlike his older brothers, he was too young to serve in the Great War, having reached the age of service only in the final year of the war.

Robert married Margaret Beth Irwin (b. September 26, 1915) and had two children:

Robert "Bob" Irwin Laughton July 13, 1938
Barbara Colleen Laughton April 13, 1952

In the files from John Ivan Laughton in April 2009 there were two photographs of Robert's family:


Robert Burns Laughton (1920 - 1977)
& Margaret Beth Laughton (nee Irwin)
Married September 26, 1915

Margaret Laughton (nee Irwin) &
daughter Colleen (1952)

Included with the photographs was a summary of the family of Robert Burns Laughton:

Robert Burns Laughton (b, July 17, 1900 Nelson BC) died October 6, 1977

Subject: Ancestry and G'Day from Barbara Colleen Laughton Sauder Pecze

Dear Richard,

My name is Barbara Colleen Laughton Sauder Pecze (b.1952), divorced William Sauder in 1992 and remarried Nick Paul Pecze in 2004 in Australia. 

My older son, Derek William Douglas Sauder, Will (b.1978) married Melissa Jacobson in 2000 and they had two children, Zada Roxanne Sauder now 10, and Pilot Kemper Sauder, now 4. Will and Melissa divorced in 2009, and Melissa married and Englishman Joe Willmott in 2010. Will is an electrciian and a mortician. 

My younger son, Leon Keegan Sauder, is a pro skateboarder, and has a performers visa which allows him to be in the US whenever and for how long he pleases. Keegan lives with his girlfriend, Andria Lessler in San Francisco. 

My Mum was Margaret Beth Irwin (b. 1915) (died 2000), and my Dad was Robert Burns Laughton (b.1900) (died 1977). 

My brother is Robert Irwin Laughton (b. 1939) (died?) married Kathleen Guilbeault (b.1945) (died)? and they had children Robert and Jane. 

Minnie Laughton was my grandma, and David Laughton Senior was my granddad; do you know when they came to Nelson, BC. And is my cousin Ivan still alive? My brother Bobby is in Edmonton Alberta, but that's all I know. 

I live in Albury, NSW, Australia, and my husband, an electronics engineer, repairs medical and industrial equipment, and has his own business Albury Calibration.

I'm terrible with dates, so I will have to go through my old stuff, which isn't at lot, mostly picture. And speaking of pics, the link to pictures would not work on the ancestry website.

Hope this helps, lets keep in touch; I would like to know more about my Orkney Island ancesters, and if there is an Viking ancestry mixed in.

Cheers from Down Under,
