None of us can read a digit that hasn't appeared in the newspaper image!

You could try searching the British Newspaper Archive or FindMyPast for other entries in case you can find more information that way. I have looked for this particular notice in other available papers, but didn't find anything.

I have been stuck on this for 50 years! My 6th great-grandfather was Robert Talbot, Tailor of East Greenwich. He was born about 1670 but no records. He married Marie Jones at St Alfege, Greenwich 18 April 1693. Both are "of this parish". Their son Robert Talbot (later Rev Robert of Stone Castle) was christened 11 Aug 1695 also at St Alfege. His father Robert is listed a "taylor". Robert Sr died 22 March 1704, East Greenwich, Kent, England and is buried at St Alfege's East Greenwich. He is listed as "Taylor of East Lands". St Alfege's think he may have been a churchwarden there. There is indeed a mystery - there are two Robert Talbots both "tailors" of Greenwich! For years I assumed my Robert was the one who died in 1744 but I very recently discovered he was an imposter! He was really Robert Turbitt 1690 - 1744 born in Hutton Henry, Monk Hesleden, Durham. A member of the Drapers but later changed his name to Talbot married Catherine Yates (not Marie Jones) and left Rev Robert a mourning ring. Very strange. My crazy guess is that he worked for my Robert Talbot as an apprentice and then took over the business and changed his name to Talbot to maintain the business - (I found the same in Hong Kong where my Indian tailor was "Sam the Tailor" - the 3rd generation to use that name!) If that happened to the Talbot Tailors then Turbitt would have known Rev Robert as they were very similar in age. As for his father's birth I am guessing. Rev Robert was born in 1695 so Robert Sr was probably born around 1670? I suspect the will of Robert Talbot died Greenwich 22 nd March 1703 or 1704 will hold the key. Any advice where I may find the will or any other documentation? Many thanks. Richard

How do you know there was a will?

The burial record (St Alfege, Greenwich, 22 Mar 1703/4) says Robert Talbutt Taylor in East Lane, not "of East Lands".

What is your source for this information?

Have you been able to identify all those relations mentioned in his will?
