      4. Gordon, Anne was christened on 19 Feb 1796 in Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, England.


    Generation: 3

    1. 6.  Neate, Robert was born in in Wiltshire, England; was christened on 31 Jan 1734 in Wroughton, Wiltshire, England (son of Neate, William and Hayes, Bridget); died on 17 Apr 1785 in Wroughton, Wiltshire, England; was buried on 21 Apr 1785 in Wroughton, Wiltshire, England.

      Notes:

      There is a Robert Neate baptised 1727 at Great Bedwyn but he appeqrs to be buried in Great Bedwin in 1727 which confirms information in his mother Mary's will.

      Confusion about the parents of Robert of Salthorp. Is Robert Neate of Salthorp the son of Robert and Mary Neate or the son of William Neate and Bridget Hayes? Annes pedigree suggests he is the son of Robert and Mary Neate of Chitterne. However there is no Robert mentioned in the will of Mary Neate of Chitterne(his possible mother) in 1761. In her will Mary Neate of Chitterne only mentions her children as William, Thomas, Mary, Anne and Elizabeth. There is a burial of a Robert Neate at Great Bedwyn 1727-presumably the son of Robert and Anne Neate.


      If his memorial entry is correct (below) birth date should be closer to 1735 eg the Robert born 1735 son of William and Bridget?

      Acording to burial entry 80 years old- seems to old and before marriage of his parents. Wrong Thomas marrying. Second marriage for him. Could it be 60 years?
