Unmarked grave Robert Gudgin (1823-1879)
Robert was born in 1823 in Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire and became an agricultural labourer
He married Ann Wilson and in 1851 they were living in Frithsden with children Sarah (1842), Amey (1844), Emma (1846), Theophilus (1847) and William (1849).
George was born 1851, followed by Elizabeth (1854), Mary Ann (1855) and Martha (1858).
By 1861 the family were living at Bedford’s Cottages, Berkhamsted Common and Robert was a “labourer in woods”. Ann and her two eldest daughters were straw plaiters and young Theophilus and William were “farm boys”.
The family continued to grow with Clara (1862), Rhoda (1864) and Alfred (1865). By 1871 they were living in Castle Street and Robert was employed as an agricultural labourer, two of the girls were straw plaiters, two of the boys agricultural labourers and one a gardener’s labourer. The four youngest were all at school.
Robert died aged only 56 in August 1879. It must have been a terrible time for Ann, but by 1881 she and the four youngest were living with daughter Emma and her husband Reuben More, a timber yard labourer, in the High Street.
Sons Theophilus (plot 927) and William are both buried in this cemetery.
