Robert Geeson was baptised on 13th January 1793 at Muston in Leicestershire, son of Thomas and Ann Geeson.
On 9th December 1816, when he was 23 years old, he married Ann Ingram at Muston. She was from the nearby town of Grantham in Lincolnshire. They remained in Muston after their marriage, having seven children baptised there between 1817 and 1832, although their only daughter died at the age of just ten days. The children's baptisms describe Robert as both a husbandman and labourer.
The 1841 census finds Robert, Ann and their youngest two sons living in Muston. By 1851, all their children had left home. The 1861 census finds Robert and Ann living on Hospital Row in Muston, with a ten year old grandson living with them.
Ann died in 1862, aged 70. Robert survived her by eleven years. The 1871 census finds him living in Muston with his nephew Thomas's family.
Robert's son William had moved to Gateshead, over 160 miles north of Muston, and it would appear that in his old age Robert left Muston and went to stay in Gateshead. He died at Gateshead on 24th June 1873, aged 80.
