Robert was present at several CUWFA meetings in 1911 with his wife Elizabeth. An engineer and Major on the staff of the Warwickshire Yeomanry, he is pictured below with fellow women's suffrage supporter and Warwickshire Yeomanry staff, The Rev, Leonard Goodenough. The CUWFA formed in 1908 to work peacefully and constitutionally for ‘the removal of the sex disqualification from the franchise’ by bringing Conservative and Unionist’s together. As a number of 'Miss Airth Richardson's' are also present at some local CUWFA meetings, it is likely that one or more of Robert's four daughters were also active for the campaign.
