1) Obituaries - Mrs. Marjorie Sinclair, O.B.E.
- Mrs. Marjorie Sinclair has died at her home in Bristow Park, Belfast. She
was in her 81st year and was the widow of Major J. Maynard Sinclair,
Northern Ireland Minister of Finance from 1943 to 1953. Mrs. Sinclair's
death comes shortly after the 25th Anniversary of her husband's death by
drowning in the Princess Victoria disaster on January 31, 1953. Mrs.
Sinclair, who was formerly Miss Marjorie Claridge, came from London, but had
close family connections in the Province. She met Major Sinclair on one of
her regular visits to relations in Northern Ireland and they were married in
1922. Before her marriage Mrs. Sinclair studied at the Guildhall School of
Music and sang professionally with several companies, including the Carl
Rosa Operatic Company. Mrs. Sinclair was active in community work and served
on the boards of several organisations, including the Templemore Avenue
Hospital. She was a member of the Belfast Hospital After Care Committee and
a former Governor of Victoria College. Mrs. Sinclair supported her husband
in his public and political life and was deeply involved in the affairs of
the Ulster Unionist Council and the Ulster Women's Unionist Council, of
which she was vice-chairman for some years. On the death of her husband in
1953 she was invited to contest the by-election for the Cromac Division of
the Northern Ireland Parliament in succession to her husband. She, however,
declined this invitation from the local Unionist Association but in 1957 was
elected Councillor for the Cromac Ward of Belfast City Council and served on
the Police, Education and Library committees. She was deputy chairman of the
Library and Museum committee from 1959 to 1962. She was awarded the OBE for
her public service in 1963 and retired from the Belfast City Council in
1966. She is survived by her two brothers, Capt. R. Claridge R.N. (retired)
and Mr. Philip Claridge. - Sinclair - February 23,
1978 (peacefully), at home, Marjorie (nee Claridge), aged 80, widow of
Maynard Sinclair, one-time Minister of Finance for Northern Ireland. Funeral
to-day (Saturday), following service at 11 a.m., in St. John's Parish
Church, Malone Road, to Drumbeg Parish Church Burying-ground. No flowers
please.
2) Photos ~ Field
Marshal Montgomery & Field Marshal Alexander - Great soldiers to be
honoured. London plaque plans. A National memorial to the greatest soldiers
of World War II, half of them "sons of Ulster", is to be established in
London. It will be in the crypt of St. Paul's Cathedral and consist mainly
of a series of plaques in honour of 10 of Britain's leading field marshals.
Ulster's roll of honour among these 10 will be impressive: Welding - Field
Marshal Lord Alexander, considered by many the finest soldier of the war,
who was born in Tyrone, son of the fourth Earl of Caledon. Field
Marshal Montgomery, who although born in London, spent his youth at the
family home at Moville, Co. Donegal and whose family came from Londonderry.
Field Marshal Lord Alanbrooke, formerly Sir Alan Brooke from Fermanagh.
Field Marshal Sir John Dill, born in Lurgan, the son of a bank manager, who
was mainly responsible for welding together the American and British forces
in the war which, according to U.S. General Marshall, "more than any other
single factor gave us victory in Europe". Field Marshal Sir
Claude Achinleck, the only one of the 10 still alive, who came, like
Alexander, from Tyrone. The memorial is expected to cost about £35,000
and will be paid for by voluntary contributions from members of the Army and
the public. Lord De L'Isle, chairman of the appeal committee, said at a
Press conference yesterday: "It does more than commemorate 10 distinguished
officers, it also commemorated all the men and women from Britain, the
Empire as it then was, and allied countries who served with them during the
six years it took to achieve final victory. "It will testify to future
generations our country's pride in service, endurance and achievement." The
other five field marshals being commemorated are Gort, Ironside, Slim,
Wavell and Wilson.

4) A magic touch
for new clinic - The world's most capped international rugby player
yesterday turned his talents to churning up the sod, not in a scrum, but
with a spade. For Mike Gibson, who will play for Ireland for the 66th time
on London next Saturday, yesterday cut the first turf in the construction of
the new Ulster Independent Clinic. Building of the clinic at the
corner of Old Stranmillis and Malone Roads is expected to begin in May once
the foundations are laid and comes at an important time for Northern
Ireland's construction industry, following the cut-backs in public
expenditure. The one and a half million pound project which is being
financed by subscription from the general public, medical profession, trade
and industry - so far £600,000 has been subscribed - will provide up to 40
hospital beds and two operating theatres. Yesterday Mr. Gavin Boyd,
chairman of the Ulster Independent Clinic said that the turf cutting
ceremony marked the beginning of a new era for the medical profession in
Ulster. "For too long we have fallen behind the rest of the United
Kingdom and Eire in providing independent facilities to give the vital
freedom of choice for patients and their doctors," he said. We are convinced
that nothing but good can come of the provision of this new amenity for
everyone in Northern Ireland, and we are particularly pleased to see the
building start at a difficult time for the local construction industry."

1) Belfast Telegraph, Wednesday September 10th,
1980 - Hunt for killer of Belfast Girl - The young woman who was raped and
strangled and whose body was dumped in a ditch in Kildare, was named today
as 19-year-old Deborah Robinson, of Fairway Gardens, Upper Malone Road,
Belfast. She was identified by her father Edward, a civil engineer, who
travelled to the County Hospital, Naas, last night. Her mother, a doctor, is
on holiday in Majorca. She was told of the tragedy today and is on her way
home. A post mortem by State Pathologist Dr. John Harbison indicated that
Deborah, an ex-student of Methodist College, Richmond Lodge and the College
of Business Studies, had been murdered within 24 hours of leaving home last
Saturday morning for a day trip to Dublin. Her killer had hidden her body in
an eight-foot deep ditch in the townland of Millicent South, near the town
of Clane, and had covered it over with briars and ferns. It was discovered
at 4pm last Monday by a local farmer, Mr. Christy Walsh, who was searching
for lost sheep. The body was dressed in blue jeans, yellow T-shirt and
knee-length stockings. The only marks on the body were slight bruises on the
neck. Search The murder squad from Dublin was called in by
Chief Superintendent James Murphy, in charge of the Kildare Division, and
who is leading the search, for the murderer. He said today they had little
information about Deborah's movements after she arrived in Dublin, where it
is believed she met her killer. He appealed to any of her friends, who may
have known when her plans were on reaching Dublin, to contact the R.U.C. or
Gardai. Over 100 Gardai are taking part in the hunt for the killer. The area
where the body was found has been sealed off and an intensive search for
vital clues launched. Extensive house-to-house inquiries are also underway.
The dead girl's shoes and handbag are missing. Gardai suspect they may have
been removed by the killer to delay identification of his victim. As Gardai
tried to piece together the last movements of Deborah, Chief Superintendent
Murphy and other senior officers were comparing certain similarities between
her murder and that of Miss Phyllis Murphy (23), in the same area last
January. Lift Miss Murphy hitched a life in a car seven miles
from Clane and her naked body was later found dumped in the Wicklow
Mountains. She too had been sexually assaulted. Her killer was never found.
Said Chief Superintendent Murphy: "We are examining the file of the killing
of Miss Murphy very closely. There are a number of similarities between the
two deaths, but we have not established and definite link." Gardai thing the
killer of Miss Robinson may have been disturbed before he had the
opportunity to destroy all of her clothing. They have appealed to anyone who
may have seen a car parked in the area in suspicious circumstances at the
weekend to come forward.

3) Mother flies
home after daughter found murdered. Killer in s** attack. The
Belfast girl whose sexually assaulted and strangled body was found in a
ditch in Co. Kildare was yesterday named as 19 year old Deborah Robinson of
Fairway Gardens, Upper Malone, Belfast. Miss Robinson who went to Dublin for
a day trip on Saturday was described as a "steady and charming" girl by a
relative. She had recently completed a bilingual secretarial course at the
Belfast College of Business Studies and was a former member of Richmond
Lodge School. Her body was discovered in a deep ditch covered with briars on
Monday by a farmer looking for missing sheep in the townland of South
Millicent near Clane in Co. Kildare but it was not until late on Tuesday
that police were able to establish identification. The body was found
clothed in blue jeans, yellow T-shirt and knee length stockings. Her handbag
and shoes were missing. She was identified by her father, Edward, a civil
engineer, who travelled to the County Hospital at Naas. Miss Robinson's
mother, a doctor, was yesterday returning from a holiday abroad after being
told of the tragedy. A post mortem examination by State Pathologist Dr. John
Harbison indicated that Miss Robinson had been killed within 24 hours of
leaving home on Saturday. The examination also revealed that she had been
sexually assaulted and strangled. While the search for clues to find the
killer continues, other police are examining the file in the case of another
girl who disappeared in the same area last Christmas and whose naked,
strangled body was found a month later.

5) Mr. and Mrs.
Robinson at the funeral of their murdered daughter, Deborah, at Dundonald
Cemetery near Belfast yesterday. Gardai quiz Englishman in hunt for killer.
A 25-year-old Englishman being quizzed by detectives in connection with the
murder of Belfast secretary "Bobbie" Robinson was still in Eire police
custody last night. As 19-year-old Deborah, from the Upper Malone area, was
buried, Eire detectives said the man was believed to have met her off a bus
at Swords, last Saturday. The latest move followed a swift change of focus
to Swords, eight miles north of Dublin, where Deborah asked the driver of
the Ulsterbus to make an unscheduled stop "to meet a friend." Police
launched an extensive investigation between Dundalk and Dublin in an attempt
to piece together what happened between the time she alighted from the bus
and last Sunday when her body was found in a Co. Kildare ditch. Detectives
were said to be working on the theory that Deborah knew her killer since
initial reports indicated she had not struggled very much. Appealed
Before her body was hidden in the ditch near Clane, 30 miles from Dublin,
Deborah had been raped and strangled. It was also established that Deborah
was alone on the bus last Saturday, and that she had no relations in Eire.
Her father Mr. George Robinson and police on both sides of the border have
appealed for anyone with any information to come forward. Deborah was buried
at a quiet ceremony in Dundonald Cemetery yesterday. The funeral
arrangements at the Robinson's Fairway gardens home were private. The 150
people who lined the graveyard included Deborah's friends from her
secretarial course at Belfast's College of Business Studies, and colleagues
of her parents.
6) Double slayer
theory in police murder probe - Eire police are concentrating on the theory
that the murder of Belfast secretary Deborah Robinson is linked with a
previous killing. Kildare girl Phyllis Murphy disappeared last Christmas and
her naked, strangled body was found, near where Deborah was discovered, a
month later. A Gardai spokesman said every possibility was being explored.
"The fact there was a similar murder in the same area means we have to look
at the theory that a killer has struck twice," he said. He said the
25-year-old Englishman who had been helping with inquiries had done so
voluntarily. It is known Deborah spent less than five hours with the man at
Swords, outside Dublin, but what happened afterwards is still baffling
detectives. Speculation. There is speculation that Deborah had
arranged to meet the man through a computer dating agency after she saw a
personal advertisement in a "lonely hearts" column but this theory remains
unconfirmed. What is known is that Deborah told her father she was going
shipping (shopping) in Dublin when she left home on Saturday morning. But
shortly after noon she asked the driver of the Ulsterbus coach to let her
off at Swords. The driver of the return excursion bus told her he could not
collect her in Swords on the way back and she would have to travel to
Dublin. Deborah was with her friend throughout the afternoon but he left
Deborah at a bus stop at around 4-30 p.m. to let her catch a bus into
Dublin. But she never turned up in the city and her movements are a complete
mystery to the investigating detectives. Traced. A man and a
woman who travelled on the excursion trip to Dublin and who spoke to Deborah
have been traced by Dunmurry detectives and their information has been
passed to the Gardai. Meanwhile, questionnaires have been posted through
every door in Swords, asking the public for help. "We are appealing for
anyone who might remember anything to come forward," said a Gardai
spokesman.

bleeding behind the eye just the same as that left hand at the first
operation & now I have great difficulty in seeing. The last time I saw the
eye specialist was in June & he said he could not give me stronger lens at
that time & to come back in Oct. I nearly had a fit & thought the time would
never pass but it won't be so long now & I hope I shall get stronger lens to
left one. I am able to go to the shops here and everyone knows me & is
helpful, I did ?????????????????????? for an hour each day. Sandy(?) is now

2) 17 Waringstown Road,
Lurgan, 28th September 1980, My dear Dorette, I thought you might like a
copy of the enclosed snaps of your Dad and Auntie Maud for your record, I
know you keep, sorry my face is in the middle of one. Had to go to the Docs
for some pills, I had the most awful Lumbago, but the pills seem to be
easing it a bit. I don't know when you are going off on your trip, hope
Fred's card arrived in time anyway. Will post Auntie Maud's card c/o you,
and I know you will be a "kind goodie" & deliver it for me. We are looking
forward so much to the 7th, leave behind the rain for a while I hope! I am
sure you will like Rome, it is a very interesting city, Ness & I had only
one day there but being on a conducted tour we saw quite a lot. Fondest love
to you both & look after yourselves. Panty?

1) Dorette, Fred & Michael With love Fred &
Elaine - Ella now 38 years & not married! She has a wonderful job with
B.B.C., organiser of sport, she flies here, there, everywhere. She always
enjoys your C.C. & special message to her. She comes on 23rd & stays until
Jan 4th 1981. E. S.
2) Dear Fred &
Dorette, We are all well, but Auntie Evelyn died suddenly last Tues in her
sleep, she was 80 years old. She had not been ill at all, so it was a nice
way to go, but a shock to us all. Hope you are all well. Love from Aunty
Dora
3) Dear Dorette,
Thank you for your best wishes. I was so very pleased by getting your card.
How nice of you to remember me. We had nice and joyful days, had not we, in
London. Barbara, our eldest daughter, was very pleased with the books. You
know, they are twice the price here in Holland. I have not finished my film,
so I still don't know anything about the dia's I take at the "White House"
but you still will get a photograph of that happening. Did you hear lately
some news from the other ladies? Where you too in Rome? We wish you and your
husband a nice and quiet Christmas and a very happy New Year. My kind
regards to you and your husband. Yours Uan Spacl?
4) Dear Desmond,
I'm glad I met you on the Glorious 12th though I must admit I was a bit
scared and embarrassed that you'd say the wrong thing or something. I had a
grand weekend, very moving in some ways. For the first time I was to feel
proud of being a protestant, I was always ashamed of it, at Uppingham eh,
but I think it was when, after the walk, a saw a fella I was staying with
pick up his sleeping son off the bus, I suddenly realized, that, that man I
was good. My grandfather was the pillarstone of his orange lodge & also
Kilrea Royal Black Perceptry (Preceptory), I suddenly saw the British
Soldiers as friends not enemies. Things have changed. I hope you have a very
happy Christmas. Remember me to your folks, I may see you up north some
time. Best wishes, Richard. P.S. No. Surrender!!!
5) Charles & Irene
- Thank you for your card & news. We all have problems with our children!
our's still give us some headaches! Margaret had to resit some exams for her
degree, meantime she had been doing a crash secretarial course, in Jan she
goes to Paris for three months to study at the Institut Britannique. Ian
started working for the Police National Computers as an electrical
technician in Sept. He likes it & now shares a house with two others
at Edgware. We had a wonderful holiday in Canada & the States. Really hope
we can meet one day! Irene
6) 20 Hawkesley
Drive, Northfield, Birmingham, B31 4EZ 5 January 1981 - Dear Mum & Dad,
Thank you very much for my Christmas Present, I think it is beautiful and
look forward to being able to put it into use so that I can show it to
everyone! Thank you also for being so kind to us on our engagement; we very
much appreciate your gifts and will put them to the best possible use. I am
very much looking forward to seeing you both again in February, my parents
are also looking forward to meeting you very much. I am also looking forward
to coming over to Northern Ireland to meet Mike's other relatives & friends
over there & to see where Mum used to live. I know she is very fond of the
country from the way she speaks about it. I feel very honoured to have been
so readily accepted into your family, Mike has also been readily accepted
into my family, and has been trying very hard to work out who's who as there
are so many of us' We returned our engagement ring to the jewellers to-day
so that it can be adjusted to my finger size, they have been extremely king
& have marked it urgent so that I can have it back by the weekend. I hope
you are both well & wish you all the best for 1981. With love from Jo.

1) 7 Bristow Park, Upper Malone, Belfast 9.
9/2/81 Dear Mr. Philipps, I am enclosing accounts from a Birmingham paper
which Michael sent on to me, and as I am sure you would wish to participate
in the announcement of their engagement perhaps you would like to settle
these. I have incidentally paid the full account from the Daily Telegraph as
well as from our local paper, and hope that you got the copy of the latter
which I sent you. We look forward to meeting you both at about 7.30 p.m. on
28th of this month. Yours sincerely, Fred Poskitt
2) Cobley House,
Station Road, Blackwell, near Bromsgrove, Lancs. 17.2.81 - Dear Mr. Poskitt,
Thank you for your letter of 9th, you will be pleased to learn that I have
paid these accounts. Celia & I are looking forward to meeting you both on
the 28th, & I know we will have a great deal to talk about. You ought to
know that I am by no means a wealthy man & in fact at present find the ? of
5 children definitely affects our standard of living. I am continually being
? by bills, which are out of my control, namely gas, electricity, telephone
& car expenses & so on. I mention this only to let you know that we have to
be careful in our expenditure. Whilst I am therefore very happy to pay for
the engagement announcement, I was not consulted over which paper carried
what advertisement, & feel that perhaps the money could have been used
better in another direction. I just make the point so that you & I are clear
about my feelings. Thank you for writing to me about this matter. Sincerely
Louie? Philipps. P.S. Please call me Louie? - I should like to think of you
as Fred.
3) 59 Jacoby
Place, Priory Road, Edgebaston, Birmingham. 6th April 1981 - Dear Mum & Dad,
Thank you very much for having me to stay last weekend, I did enjoy myself
very much & felt very welcome over there. Thank you also for arranging the
two parties for us, we both enjoyed them very much & I loved meeting
everybody, especially Auntie Maud & Grandpa, about whom I had heard so much.
It must have taken you ages to organise everything. Another thank you for
our food processor which is super, we used it for the first time tonight as
we managed to remember to get a 2 Amp fuse! We made a pizza & mixed the
dough & grated the cheese with the processor, it was amazingly quick & I
couldn't even grate the ends of my fingers off! We both enjoyed this weekend
very much, it was so nice to get away from work & have a couple of early
nights, although Mike found the church clock a bit annoying every hour, it
is just across the road, however I slept like a log! Mike & Granny got on
very well together & we had a lovely time. I shall see Mike off from
Heathrow on Saturday & then I shall be living at home for 7 weeks, the first
two weeks will be holiday & after that I shall be working at Droitwich,
which is south of Bromsgrove. Every Wednesday after our holiday I shall have
to go to the Woodlands for a lecture so I shall check that the flat is O.K.
after the lecture. Thank you very much again, Lots of Love Jo xx
