He and Hannah MILES had a child together when they were not married.

Note*

Other information; A Robert COWARD was buried in Gillingham on 7 Apr 1782 (NFI). Obviously it could not have been the one who had children later on, but it might have been the one baptised in 1749, or married in 1772. In other words, there may have been more than one Robert COWARD in Gillingham at this time.

On 9 May 1772, Robert COWARD married a widow, Elizabeth BOWLES, botp. He was presumably the father of the some or all of the listed children, although of course it may have been two men.

Birth*

Robert COWARD was born in 1811 at Mere, Wiltshire, England; The 1851 census gives a birthplace of Mere, but the only Robert COWARD even remotely close to this one in age was baatised in Gillingham. His father was named Edward and this man named his first son Edward. His abode was Milton, which was between Gillingham and Mere.

From the age at death, he would have been born in 1813, but the age in the census gives a birthdate of 1811.

There is no apparent connection to the 82-yr-old Martha COWWARD in the same dwelling place in 1841.

This allocation may need review.
