William Robert Burgess & Yateley

John Burgess' son William Robert continued the business in the Strand. He also inherited his father's three properties in Yateley. In 1820 he conveyed the manor of Minley to his brother-in-law Rev R. C. Caswall. It is probable that this conveyance was in settlement of his father's bequest to Caswall. William Robert is said to have lived at Minley Warren.

 

In 1820 William Robert was 41 years old, having been christened at St Clement Danes church in the Strand on 29 Nov 1778. He married Ann Giblett in Hartley Wintney on 18 Oct 1800. It is possible she was the daughter of James Giblett, the lawyer who witnessed John Burgess' will in 1815. James Giblett came from Hartley Wintney. The Giblett family included Thomas, an innholder of Elvetham, and William Giblett, a purveyor of meat to the Royal Household, and holding a Royal Warrant. The Gibletts made successful marriages into the CaveFamily|Cave family], brewers in Hartley Wintney, and the Bailey family, poulterers of London. Both the latter had property and family members living in Yateley. All these tradespeople were extremely rich by the standards of the time, with houses in London, and were marrying their daughters in fashionable London churches. It would be more appropriate to consider them as the Sainsbury family of their day, rather than small town shopkeepers.

 

William Robert died in 1845, when he is described as "of Brook Farm, Yateley." His son Thomas, born in 1807, then carried on the buusines of Messrs John Burgess & Son for the third generation.
