A marriage license was agreed for Robert DEAKIN to marry Sarah MOORE on 7 Jun 1673. The marriage was to be conducted at St Mary's, Lichfield, however no record of this marriage appears in the Lichfield records. It seems likely that marriage went ahead as Robert baptized 5 children every 3-4 years from July the following year.
There was a Robert DEAKIN junior and his wife Ann baptizing children in Whittington at the same time as Robert, specifically Robert 1680, Sarah 1684 and Thomas 1689. Robert was known as Robert DEAKIN senior at that time.
Possible baptisms of Robert include:
Jun 1645 - Robert DECON by Thomas and Mary at Yoxall (10 miles to Whittington)
Mar 1650 - Robert DEAKON by William at Chilcote (10 miles to Whittington)
Possible Whittington burials for Robert include:
- Robart Deaken of Fisher[w]ick 25 Feb 1706
- Robert Deaken 12 May 1712
- Robart Deaken 4 Oct 1720
