Robert was an upholsterer who lived at St Martin's
Le Grande
in the city of London (information provided by Frances on a census form
conducted on 5th November, 1831). However, he may also have been a
steam boat owner on the Thames, as this is the information provided by
James Crump on the death certificate of Frances when she died at
Castlemaine in 1879. It is possible that James was wrong in the
information that he provided - but it is also possible that both are
correct and that he changed occupations. The Prickett family appears to
have been well off.
Robert's will named his wife as Sarah - see
discussion on Frances' page.
