If we were allowing this, it would be because the father got the info out of Ohara before the Buster Call, and then either died there, or at the most was never on record to begin with. Ohara is wiped out apart from Robin, according to Canon, so we definately can't allow any other survivors. Having somebody with info from Ohara who nevertheless never grew up there is a loophole that wouldn't break canon, but personally I'd be very wary of it.

My gut feeling is that we shouldn't allow any poneglyph readers for the sake of canon, since Robin's ability is so major. However, we have got loopholes for getting the info off of Poneglyphs anyway, so damage is done either way. It's a grey area in a very real sense..
