I've been searching on FreeREG and FamilySearch, and Robert Bristow married Sarah Bullock 2 Feb 1728/9. Then they had the above son Robert who died young, and then there is a John Bristol, son of Robert and Sarah, baptised 16 Apr 1738, also at St Stephen. I don't see a separate marriage for Robert Bristol and Sarah. There is a Sarah Bristow burial 13 Apr 1743 at St Stephen, and a Robert Bristoll burial 1 Mar 1773 at St John the Baptist Maddermarket, age 64. Also a Robert Bristow, widower, married Elizabeth Stannard 28 Oct 1754 at St Stephen.

If both children belong to the same Robert and Sarah couple, there could be a few children missing between the Robert jr who died and John, couldn't there? Maybe another Robert jr? Unfortunately I can't find a baptism! I suppose I should look at the actual images now.

Also, it's possible that Abraham Bristow of Norwich may be descended from John Bristow of Binsted, Hampshire (see post 5), but there are a few missing links in there at the moment!

A agree about the gap in the baptisms for Robert and Sarah.

I wanted to wave a magic wand and produce a baptism for a Robert Stannard, born just before his mother married the widower Robert Bristow! Sadly, it wasn't to be...…. :o

Oops, sorry, a typo in their marriage date there! Should have been 1754!

Ah, right.

If he hadn't been a widower, I might have wondered if the 1754 marriage was "your" Robert!

I know; I've come across it so many times and ruled it out.

The Bank of England will extract says Robert Bristow of Three Oak Lane, Horselydown, oil cooper, but the will says Robt Bristow of Bletchingly in the county of Surry Gentleman.

Isn't Three Oak Lane, Horsleydown the address for Robert's son James (the exor)?

Thought it was another mistake of mine, but if you look at the Bank of England Will Extract image it does say Robert Bristow of Three Oak Lane, Horsleydown at the top:

But yes, it was where James lived.

I've been following this thread with interest to see if it did indeed tie up with 'my'
Laming Lyons & you probably know this already but I mention it just in case - in the 1835 list of governors for the St. Ann's Society Schools there's a John Bristow of Three Oak Lane,Horselydown. Also, a Robert Bristow of 57 Gainsford St. Horselydown.
