Marriage of Robert Thorogood and Isabella Burstow in FreeBMD in July-September 1907 in Kingston (2a 987).
His son was born on 13 April 1910, and baptised on 4 May 1910 at Surbiton Hill, Christ Church, parents Robert Martin, a butcher, and Isabell Thorogood of No. 5 Guildford Villas. It was a private baptism.

I cannot find any later information regarding him or his wife but assume the marriage had broken down. His stepdaughter, Elizabeth Agnes Burstow born on 2 June 1905 in Surbiton, Surrey was boarding? with Alice Mary Ralph who was single and her two brothers at 5 Guildford Villas, Alpha Road Surbiton Hill Surbiton, Surrey. I cannot locate his son. His stepdaughter, Elizabeth Agnes Theregood, was baptised on 3 May 1914 parents Robert and Isabella Theregood when he was a butcher living at 5 Guildford Villas, Surbiton Hill, Surrey, but this does not mean either were present. His stepdaughter Elizabeth Agnes Thorogood married Philip Lawrence Dixon on 10 October 1925 at St Matthew, Surbiton, when her father was stated to be Robert Martin Thorogood, a butcher.
Robert Martin Thorogood was the father of Frederick Robert Harry Thorogood, husband of Lilian Mary Croucher, neice of Frederick George Croucher, husband of Mary Ann Fullick, my fourth cousin once removed.
