Not managed to find baptism of Robert 1791 as son of George & Jane as per original post.


This baptism is a bit out on age, but may be the unmarried Jane Clarkson visitor born Knapton c1804 in census 1851


Knapton is very close to Wintringham, and both are within a few miles of Malton.

george is a schoolmaster

This is really tenuous, assuming John has the correct parents George and Jane for James c1791, and if Jane the visitor was his sister (a lot of ifs...)

EDIT: Posted this before I saw safc's latest posts confirming Robert's parents names, including his mother's maiden name.

This might be the burial of George, which would give an approximate birthyear.

His abode is given as KNAPTON.

This might be George's wife Jane's death, again, giving rough idea of birthyear.

Not managing to get back before George and Jane though :-(

No help in getting back beyond George and Jane, but this seems to be Robert's first marriage. He is described as a gardener on the marriage register.
