Robert Brentley (Brenkley)

Abt 1766 - 1847  (~ 81 years)

• Name	Robert Brentley (Brenkley)
  Born	Abt.1766	Hardraw, Hawes, Yorkshire, England   [1, 2, 3]
  	The year of birth is calculated from the age stated at death. It is quite possible that there was a gap of some years between birth and baptism. It is equally possible that his exact age was not known, when he died and that it was an estimate. Whilst further evidence would be desirable, it is highly probable that this is Robert's correct baptism record.
  Christened	16 Nov 1766	Hardraw, Hawes, Yorkshire, England   [3]
  	The entry in the baptism register reads as follows: "Rob't the natural son of Ann Brenkley by Rob Smith". As Ann and Robert Smith were not married, then their son retained Ann's surname. It was very helpful of the vicar to record the father's name for such a birth and it is certainly unusual.
  Gender	Male
  Census	1841	West Witton, Leyburn, Yorkshire, England   [4]
  Sarah is their granddaughter; the illegitimate daughter of Frances Brinkley, the 9th child of Robert Brenkley & Ann Wade. Robert is their grandson and the illegitimate son of their daughter Martha, their 5th child.
