It's possible we have two Robin Angus Grahams.

St Edward's Chronicle 2010/11 (annual magazine of St Edward's School, Oxford)…

https://issuu.com/stedwardsose/docs/chronicle_2010-11/191

...gives details (matching the probate indices) of a former pupil who attended between 1957-63. The Montrose descendant would by then have been in his thirties, having attended Winchester. As Netty mentioned, the Times 2010 notice describes a married man with children, the reference books give no marriage for the Montrose descendant.

Clearly resident on the Isle of Wight, which fits with the Winchester probate record.  

I agree with Stephen that we are probably dealing with another Robin Angus GRAHAM in the 2010 death record. From the school details we would expect this man to be born 1943-1945, and indeed FreeBMD search brings up:

Q1 1944: GRAHAM, Robin A, mothers maiden name BRUCE, District WANDSWORTH.

A Robin A GRAHAM appears to marry a Felicity GROSS 1967 CUCKFIELD, and with her has dau Anna Felicity (1970) and Lorna Cecilia (1971).

There is then another Robin A GRAHAM marriage to Clare J C TAYLOR 1986 ISLE OF WIGHT and with her has dau Polly Elizabeth J (1988) and a possible Robert in Hammersmith in 1991.

I re-checked the Probate indices, there are no other Robin Angus GRAHAM records, so it is possible that the MONTROSE scion is still living. Having checked electoral roll records, he can be seen at Blaxhall, Woodbridge in 2003 and not later, but he may have taken himself off the public roll.

This one gives more details, and actually seems to confirm the one who died in 2010 was the Montrose descendant.

Brother of IJAG, also education at Winchester, Trinity College Cambridge and Exeter University which is correct according to Burke's.
