Yes please; still trying to find a connection.  It seems the only way I am going to do this is by eliminating everyone through BMDs. I have just read 222 pages of one parish and found some new Osmotherley people. It all helps, our Robert must be somewhere and it does not look like he was born in Kent. Very possible he came down through the Church to start a school. Am following up that idea. His son was definitely involved with Rochester Cathedral.  I have access to Parish Records for Kent through the Medway archives project and cannot find any reference pre the baptism of son John at St. Nicholas Rochester, which is adjacent to the Cathedral; alhtough now offcies and inaccesable.

Thanks Susan

Thank you,  yes I have been going meticously through the city ark collection.  I am wondering if you know anything about a Lucy Harris from Cliffe, she married c1803 and died a few months after.  She married James Osmotherly.  regards Susan
