Baptism/Death etc.
Ellen PARK was baptised at St Mark, Natland on the 25 Dec 1768. She was the daughter of William PARK and his wife Mary. Ellen died on the 23 May 1823. A newspaper death notice records her as the relict of Mr. Robert HINDE, auctioneer, of Kendal, aged 54. Ellen's father, William PARK, died on the 6 May 1805. His will mentions his daughter Elinor, the wife of Robert HIND of Kendal and their daughter Mary. Both William and his wife Mary were buried in Kendal. Their MI reads 'In Memory of Mary Park wife of William Park of Storth-End who died 27 April 1796 aged 73 years. And of the above William Park who died 6 May 1805 aged 81 years'. William PARK married Mary ASHTON (a widow) in Kendal on the 14 Jun 1755. Both were recorded as being from Natland. It appears possible** that Mary ASHTON was the widow of Joseph ASHTON of Natland. Joseph ASHTON married Mary ROBINSON (both of Natland) in Kendal on the 29 Dec 1748. Their son John ASHTON married Mary NELSON of Old Hutton in 1775. Mary NELSON was the aunt of Robert HINDE of Old Hutton (bapt. 1768). (** However, the marriage bond for William PARK & Mary ASHTON records Mary's name three times as Mary HAISTING, each time the HAISTING being crossed-out and replaced by ASHTON. Note that a Richard ASHTON alias HAISTING of Natland was buried in Kendal on the 26 Aug 1767. This may have been the Richard born to Joseph ASHTON & Mary and baptised in Natland in 1749, although this doesn't appear to help explain the alias.)
Death, etc.
Robert died on the 6 Jul 1820. Note that his will, dated the 4 Jul 1820 (made shortly after his terrible accident), was witnessed by Jos GOULDEN - presumably his son-in-law to be. Robert was in his 53rd year. This implies that he was born circa 1768. Although still to be proven, it is possible that Robert was the son of Robert HINDE & Ann NELSON of Greenfoot in Old Hutton, who was baptised in Old Hutton on the 28 Aug 1768. This Robert was still alive in 1788 when he signed as a witness to the marriage of my 4x great grandparents in Old Hutton. The will of Ann NELSON's second husband (John MACKERETH), dated the 25 Sep 1830, mentions his step-son, John HIND of Bolton le Moors, the son of his late wife. This John HIND(E) was Ann's eldest son, baptised in Old Hutton on the 17 Feb 1763. As Ann's son Robert was not mentioned within John MACKERETH's will, it would appear that he was deceased by 1830. If the Robert HINDE of Old Hutton (bapt. 1768) died within Westmorland, then the only known candidate is your Robert of Kendal.
Death, etc.
Mary died on Tuesday the 17 Jul 1838. A newspaper death notice states that she was aged 46, the wife of Mr. Joseph GOULDEN (auctioneer) and the daughter of the late Mr. Robert HINDE of Kendal. John BROCKELBANK appears to have been buried in Kendal on the 11 Oct 1820, aged 32. Mary then married Joseph GOULDEN on the 1 Oct 1821 in Burneside (nr Kendal). Marriage notices confirm that Mrs. BROCKLEBANK was the daughter of the late Mr. Robert HINDE (auctioneer) of Kendal. Mary had a further 8 children from her 2nd marriage. Note that the youngest child was named William Park GOULDEN. Her daughter Ellen TAYLOR (nee GOULDEN) also had a son named Robert Hind TAYLOR.
