The names of Harry's parents are unknown.

The name of Eva's father was William George Robb: the name of her mother is unknown.

Harry and Eva had four daughters between 1901 and 1914. To the best of my knowledge, Eva died as a result of complications of a fifth pregnancy c. 1916. The oldest daughter (also named Eva) was 15 years old at the time and took on the role of mother to the other sisters. After the 1910 census was taken the family moved to Glen Cove, Long Island for a number of years, but they moved back to Brooklyn, NY prior to the 1930 census. Harry lived in Brooklyn until he died in the early 1950's.

The burial site(s) for Harry and Eva are unknown.
