- Information on Robina Sinclair is very hard to find. In 1930, she was living in Mitcham, Surrey and in 1933 in Brixton. She had an affair with a musician called Joe Gibson at the Locarno Dance Hall, Streatham, which resulted in a divorce from Charles Langley Owen, granted in July 1931. She married second husband Robert Ross Taylor in Chelsea in 1938.
From The Norwood News, 24 July 1931. ‘DOCTOR'S DIVORCE. JOSEPH GIBSON CITED AS CO-RESPONDENT. In the Divorce Court on Tuesday, Mr. Justice Bateson granted a decree nisi to Dr. Charles Langley Owen, of De Pary’s Avenue, Bedford, formerly of Hassocks Road, Streatham, for divorce from his wife, Robina Elizabeth (née Sinclair), on the ground of her misconduct with a co-respondent named Jos. Gibson, formerly an instrumentalist at the Locarno Dance Hall, Streatham. Dr. Owen removed with his wife to Bedford for practice last year. They were married at St. Ann's Church, Soho, on November 8, 1927, Mrs. Owen being a nurse at the Lewisham Hospital. There is one child of the marriage. Dr. Owen asked the Court to exercise its discretion in his favour in respect of his misconduct with Miss Margaret Blanche Cairns, a friend and companion of his wife. His misconduct with Miss Cairns, he pleaded, was with his wife's connivance. After hearing evidence by the petitioner and Miss Margaret Blanche Cairns, and from an hotel, his Lordship granted Dr. Owen a decree nisi. He said the petitioner was married to a person who behaved abominably and connived at her husband's misconduct, which was some excuse, at any rate, for it. The Court thought it could exercise its discretion in his favour. Dr. Owen was a young man, and, on the whole, it was much better that he and his wife should be parted.’
Robina Sinclair cannot be found on the 1911 or 1921 Censuses.
She married Robert Ross Taylor in April 1938 in Chelsea.
