The ROBERT VITLER / ESTHER QUINCE line

The ROBERT VITLER / ESTHER QUINCE line

Robert VITLER was baptised at Battle, SSX in 1839, believed to be the son of Robert VITLER and Eliza Ann (nee ELDRIDGE). Details of his arrival in Australia, or any details about Esther QUINCE's origins, are currently unknown to me. However, the family of Robert and Eliza VITLER is shown in the 1851 UK Census as still living in Battle, so it is believed that Robert arrived in Australia in his late teens or early twenties. There is no evidence that either his parents or siblings ever came to Australia.

Robert and Esther married at St. James Church of England in Binda, NSW on March 1st, 1865. It is believed that Annie, at this time almost two years old, was their daughter as her birth was registered as VITLER rather than QUINCE.

There are 8 children of which we know:

FURTHER RESEARCH

As part of our ongoing Vidler research in Australia, we have gathered over the years a small amount of information on this family. I am always interested in hearing from fellow researchers.
