Buried in the 'middle', ie inside the church, at St Margaret Lothbury, November 1st 1729.

See will attached, in which she leaves her Gold Watch to Sonn Henry and also mentions daughters Hannah, Ann Fuller, sons Gearing and John, sister Fisher and brother Edward Roberts (presume she means brother in law?).

The addendum to the will confirms Mary Fisher as a spinster - which I had thought meant Ann’s maiden name was Fisher, however other evidence suggests otherwise. The addendum also confirms Ann’s date of death.

Mentioned in the will of Ann Roberts, 1729. Don't know anything else about him, d-o-b is a guess

His will, attached, links up with the will of Hannah Vertue spinster in 1817 with many of the same people mentioned.

Presumed to be the brother of Gearing Roberts, from names of cousins, nieces, etc named in his will. Also, Gearing was mentioned in Simon’s will of 1742. Parents assumed to be the same, due to burial in the 'middle', inside St Margaret Lothbury church in London. In his will he expressed his desire to be buried close to them.

Son: John Roberts (born 1711 died 1783 )   View NotesHide notes  

Buried “in the middle” of St Margaret Lothbury, City of London, 14th January 1783 aged 71. His brother Gearing and parents were also buried there. The middle is taken to mean in the church itself, although no gravestone can be found there with the Roberts names on. The church was designed by Christopher Wren and would have been fairly new when his parents were alive/died.
