  • Notes 
    • There seem to be a lot of coincidences between Robert Thomas Neal and Robert Gant Neal. The only record I find under Robert Thomas Neal is the marriage record. All others are under Robert Neal. However, his parents have the same given names as Robert Gant and Robert G is also married to a Hephzibah. It's possible they are the same person but I found two birth records with different dates, Robert G was born 2nd quarter, 1853, and christened in Stow Bardolph. Stow isn't far from Wimbotsham and the villiage is partly in the Stow Civil District. So it's possible that the birth record from 1851 is an older brother and Robert Gant is actually Robert Thomas Gant Neal. But Robert Neal, born 1853-54, son of Benjamin and Lucy in Wimbotsham, has an older brother named Thomas, born 1851 in Wimbotsham.
      I'm fairly certain these are the correct census records because Robert always indicates that he was born in Winbotsham and Hephzibah in Wereham but the age is always incorrect for the Robert born in 1851 in Wimbotsham.
      I find no census records for Robert born in 1851 Wimbotsham, nor do I find any for Robert born 1853 in Downham (Robert G).
      Robert G died in 1905 in Malling and is listed as the father of Ethel May Neal, christened in 1898 in Wateringbury.

      In other words, I do NOT guarantee this information at this point, please don't use me as a source.
