of Tankardstown, county Meath, Ireland

Robert Died - 1595, Dublin
He is listed as a "baker" in the Prerogative Will record.

Robert Luttrell is styled as "gent." in the 1570 act (below), yet he is shown with the occupation of "baker" in this Will record - usually "gentlemen" are men of property, from which they earn their income.  Does this occupation designation indicate that his financial means deteriorated requiring him to "get a job" or could it suggest this is not Robert Luttrell, gent. of Tankardstown?


“Sir Thomas Luttrell of Luttrellstown married (1) Anne Aylmer, d/o Bartholomew Aylmer, esq. of Lyons, Co. Kildare and by her had two sons and two daughters. . .
Richard – his heir
Robert – married Elizabeth, 2nd dau of Robert Rochfort Esq. of Kilbride
