Message Board Post:
Am looking for Robert Chester born about 1805 in England. I am trying to find details of his place and date of birth, details of his first marriage, and details of his death.
On 9 June 1835 he was married at Barking Parish Church, Suffolk to Priscilla Soar and was described as a widower. He appears on 1841 census at Rattlesden, Suffolk age 36 born Suffolk and employed as a jn tailor. He is living with his wife Priscilla age 26, Jane Chester age 11, Charles Chester age 7, Henry Chester age 5, and William Chester age 5 months. Presume that Jane was a daughter from his first marriage although I can find no further information about her. Charles was probably an illegitimate son of Priscilla because he later called himself Soar as well as Chester.
Robert does not appear on 1851 census and Priscilla is shown as a widow living as a pauper at Needham Market, Suffolk with her children.
Despite intensive searches I have been unable to find any details of Robert's place or date of birth, or of his first marriage, or even records of his death.
