Robert&amp;#039;s first wife was from [[St. Margaret&amp;#039;s, Southelmham|St. Margaret&amp;#039;s Southelmham]] and at the time of their marriage, Robert is said to be from [[St. James, Southelmham|St. James Southelmham]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He married his second wife, Maude (Mawde) Kersey (Carsey, Carsie) on 21 May, 1668. She was the daughter of Edward Carsey, a yeoman of Cratfield, Suffolk (d. 1675), and his wife Maud. They had three other children - John (christened 6 December, 1642), Susah (christened 28 September 1643) who married a Hayward, and Mary (christened 10 March, 1645) who married a Poole. In his Will, Edward Carsey mentions his wife and each of his children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although no definite proof can be given as to whether Robert&amp;#039;s father was Nicholas Barber or his brother Simon Barber - both sons of Simon Barber (1562 - 1637), it is certain that, whichever-one was his father, Simon Barber (1562 - 1637) was certainly his grandfather (as per information in the of Will of John Barber). It is perhaps notable that Robert christened his first two daughters (by his first wife, Sarah (nee Smith)) - Sarah and Rebecca, no doubt after his own sisters - daughters of Simon Barber (1562 - 1637).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although at the time of his marriage to his first wife Sarah, Robert (b. 1638) is said to be of St. James Southelmham rather than from Fressingfield, it is possible that he was then living with - and working for - his uncle, John Barber - perhaps at a messuage named &amp;#039;Turner&amp;#039;s&amp;#039; in Sancroft (St. James) Southelmham, formerly owned by John Pigeon. From his Will, John Barber seems to have been the patriarch in this branch of the Barber family at that time.&lt;br /&gt;
