Derek Finch Roberts

On of my aims on the family history was to find a male Roberts who was the son of the eldest son going back in the generations. Sidney Morton Pearson Roberts was the eldest great grandson of the last Jacob Roberts. His eldest surviving grandson, according to the 1937 Family Tree, was Derek Finch Roberts born 21st September 1922 in Willesden, London.

But that is where the trail goes cold. So we do not even know if he had a son. Sidney had two more sons, but only one seems to have surviving sons. Clive Finch Roberts is the eldest son of Bernard Finch Roberts. I just need someone to read this and make the connection. The Finch in all these names comes from Sidney's wife, Louisa Kate Finch. She was the daughter of the prosperous Henry Finch of The Gables, Linslade and Bedford Square, London.
