  • Notes 
    • Robert probably did well for himself, though there was only £460 in his estate. In 1878 he is noted as the owner and occupier of 21 Rose Terrace, the property he was in in 1881. I do not know if he was here when he died.

      Note that the MI transcript says he died 24 Dec, but this is likely to be less accurate than the probate register.
