Robert Hankin (bap. 7 Jan 1742 in Royston), son of Thomas and Elizabeth Hankin, married Elizabeth Edwards, in Royston, on 15 Oct 1767.

Robert and Elizabeth had eight children:
  1. Robert Hankin bap. 30 Jan 1769
  2. Sarah Hankin bap. 26 Jun 1770
  3. Joseph Hankin bap. 23 Sep 1772
  4. Ann Hankin bap. 8 Mar 1775
  5. Elizabeth Hankin bap. 28 Aug 1777
  6. William Hankin bap. 28 Oct 1779
  7. Mary Hankin bap. 29 Nov 1781
  8. Unnamed child bap. Feb 1786
All of these Non-Conformist baptisms took place at the Royston, Old Meeting (Independent) House, which had existed in Middle Row, Kneesworth Street, since 1706. [Source] In 1790, a dispute arose over doctrine and a group withdrew from the Old Meeting, to form a new Meeting. In 1791 a New Meeting house was built on another site in Kneesworth Street. 

There are probable deaths for Robert Hankin in 1812 - seems likely as it is in the record set England & Wales Non-Conformist Burials in Royston - and a burial of an Elizabeth Hankin in 1817, estimating her birth to 1747.
