Children of Robert in the 1750s, probably the father is the Robert Rowther born in 1729. There are two Robert Rowters marring then (1750, 1752)

Comments  Les Rowley

Sadly the regitrar did not record mothers names as a rule, but occasionally did. The lack of mother's name makes connections less clear, except for the optimistic inference that if there was ambiguity, the mother was recorded.
(1) Confidence in the Rebecca (b1725) --  Robert (m 1724) link     (=70%)
    (a) She is born 19 years  after the marriage
    (b) Robert has St Just against his name, and Rebecca's daughter is going to marry John Greet from St Just
    (c) The sad temptation, nothing else fits
(2) Confidence in the Robert (m 1724) -- George (m 1695)  link     (=80%)
    (a) He would be aged 25 at marriage
    (b) Again nothing else fits
(3) Confidence in the George (m 1695) -- James (m 1665) link     (=80%)
    (a) He would be aged 27 at marriage
   (b) Again nothing else fits
(4) Confidence in the Jane (m 1665) -- George Sawell (m 1633)  link     (=100%, well close to it anyway)
    (a) She would be aged 24 at marriage
    (b) there are two George Sawell families where the children's births partly overlap. But the recorder was aware of the problem, and recorded the mother's name for us
    (c) Jane called her first daughter Christian after her mother

Conclusion

Go  with  Rebecca - Robert - George - James - Jane as above

Mary Webb

There are two candidates for Robert's Wife in the St Gerrans register,
    28 Mar 1696 daughter of Richard
    23 Aug 1702 daughter of Edward
There is no Edward Webb marrying about the right time on the OPC database. There is however a list of possible siblings
    John         13 Aug 1693
    Edward     20 Oct 1695
    Steven     26 Feb 1698
    Richd        2 Feb 1704
    Nicolas    13 Apr 1707
    Rebekah  24 Oct 1708
    Thomas     5 Jun 1712
Bearing in mind that the registrar seems to resolve ambiguity if it exists, this is a probable list of siblings. So Edward's daughter is probable on grounds of age and the encouraging presence of a Rebecca on the list (80%?).
