Occupation

Robert's will describes him as a carrier so we may assume that he was involved in the family carrier business - and perhaps continued that after his mother's death in 1851. However, there is, as yet, no evidence of the business being operated in Robert's name. But a further examination of trade directories from the mid 1850s might be useful in this respect.

Antecedants

Will
