Thanks for your reply, Jeff. Yes-I did indeed mean 1788 for Robert ( a hasty typo...)- and thanks to the others for their replys.
Yes, I do have the Chelsea Pensioner records, which describe Robert as a nailor, and giving his place of birth as Monmouth St Johns (yes, it is me at Ancestry).
What I have been unable to find is a record of his birth itself, and wondered whether any readers had access to the BMD for Monmouth St John. The LDS records do not cover the earlier dates for St Johns.
Would the National Archive records be the same as the Chelsea Pensioner ones I obtained from findmypast, do you know?
Many thanks again,
Jenny
