I am looking for information on the family of Robert and Sarah Pilch.
I believe he was born abt. 1780. and married before 1798. I have not been able to discover Sarah's maiden name.
Children from this marriage include: Matthew Pilch, Rose (nee Thornton) Cutting, Luke Pilch, Joseph Pilch, James Pilch, Peter Pilch and Wynne (nee Pilch) Doughty.
I have not been able to find anything on Matthew, so I believe that he died in childhood. I also believe that Rose later immigrated to Canada with her brothers: Joseph, James, and Peter. But, did she leave her children behind? According to Canadian records, she is later referred to as Rosamond? Sadly, Luke lived in a workhouse in Aylsham and was in trouble with the law. He was estranged from his wife, who had two illegitimate children.
Any further insights into this family would be greatly appreciated.
