Robert Milner 1837

[MILSY]

The family line for Robert Milner 1837 - 13/1/1900.  I found an article of Rev Robert Milner born Longgill parish of Orton 21/8/1767 - 15/3/1849 Cumbria England but sure of the linkage

Robert with parents and siblings in Stamford. Lincs in 1851

Piece number 2094, Folio 236 Page 61

Father Thomas occ Proprietor of houses (Robert's marriage cert said Thomas was gentleman)
Thomas born Birstwith, Yorks, mother Jane from Slawston, Leics.
From GRO  index it looks like mother's mn is Peck.

Familysearch has transcription of marriage for Thomas Milner and Jane Peck 23 Oct 1831 St George, Stamford. Image not available on line - only at FH centre.

Thomas Milner's age in 1851 implies birth year abt 1798

[LizzieL]

Thomas Milner died 19 Jan 1875 in Stamford, administration to son Robert of 29 Springfield rd, St Johns Wood, Middx. Looks like he didn't leave a will.

Looking at Thomas Milner's pob - Birstwith. This village didn't have a church until the 1850's so Thomas would have to have been baptised elsewhere.
Possibly Hampsthwaite - it seems the vicar of Hampsthwaite objected to a church being built in Birstwith.

may be connected
In 1851 there is a Jonathan Milner b about 1891 in Birstwith farming 20 acres in Hampsthwaite.

Free reg has lots of Milners in Hampsthwaite, closest Thomas bapt is 1794 s/o Thomas and Ellen. And a Jonathan 1790 s/o Robert and Ann, so maybe cousin.
Marriage for Thomas Milner and Ellen Jackson on 26 Mar 1778 at H'thwaite

[LizzieL]

Thomas and Ellen bapt a Jonathan as well in 1784, Thomas snr occupation was weaver

[LizzieL]

In 1841 there is a Thomas Milner age 89 in Hampsthwaite with a Hannah Milner age74. Thomas occ Linen Weaver. There is a death reg in 1845 Knaresborough district for Thomas Milner age 94.
They could be the Thomas Milner and Hannah Brown who married in H'thwaite on 1 Feb 1798, he was a weaver. the transcript on free reg doesn't mention if he was a widower, but he could be the former husband of Ellen. Not yet found Ellen's burial. This aged Thomas would have been born abt 1751, so would likely be the Thomas  bapt 28 jun 1751 in H'thwaite s/o John Milner, no mother mentioned. Father occ transcribed as Lorin??
There is a marriage for a John Milner and Jane Bramley on 14 Aug 1750 - could be the parents.
Jane Milner wife of John was buried on 4 Feb 1759. The transcript gives age as 79 and abode as Swartcliffe so must be a different John / Jane combination.

added
Another Jane wife of John burial on 28 dec 1790 age 58.
There's burial of a John Miner noted as senior on 9 jan 1775, so likely to be husband of the Jane buried in 1759.
Can't find burial of the John who married Jane Bramley yet
