Thank you Frances. Can you tell me where I can go from here as I cannot establish his birth, this Robert Garrett who died in 1792. I have definitely got the right one, as the direct line is covered to present day. Just his birth and parentage I am not sure which way to go. There are not many Robert Garrett births around early 1700 to about 1730. I think I have a note of them all but establishing the right one is a query.
