The Times, 19 Oct 1844
THE TOWER - (From a Correspondent) - The first disinterment from the Tower burial-ground took place on Saturday last, when the mortal remains of several relatives of Lieutenant-General Dickinson, Royal Artillery, were thence removed to the new churchyard, Lee, Kent. The coffins were conveyed in a hearse, and deposited in a vault previously prepared for their reception. Two relatives of the General, the Rev W Ludlow and Mr R Welbank, superintended the removal, and accompanied the remains. We understand this rude, perhaps cruel, disturbance, has arisen from the alleged necessity of appropriating that which was formerly a burial-ground as the site for a portion of the projected new barracks.

Robert married Frances Dickinson in Oct 1822 in TS John Jas Mary, St John's, Westminster. Frances (daughter of Richard Dickinson and Elizabeth) was born in 1785; died in 17 Jul 1830; was buried in Lee (St Margaret) Old Churchyard. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
