An email from Geoff Court discusses the link
from Robert to William and Mabel, and the link from William and
Mabel to George and Frances in some detail.
His conclusion with which I concur is a definite unproven

Comments Les Rowley
This is clearly the father of the Robert we think is Christopher's
father. It gives us his family. He is seriously wealthy, and
has some serious friends. nominating three "Sir"s, one a
Baronet to oversea his will. Also Mabella his wife was wealthy in
her own right when they married. What is that bit at the end giving
his advisors a ring with a death's head in it?
