10 - ROBERT - Born Rendham, Suffolk, a clothmaker by trade. Married Susan, daughter of John Lea, Bayliffe of the Liberty of Bosmere and Claydon, and had two sons; married secondly Johanne Cottell [nee Partridge]. He was listed on the lay subsidy for Rendham in 1524/5. His will was dated Feb 15, 1563, he desired to be buried in the churchyard of St. Mary's at Elms in Ipswich, Suffolk where his first wife was buried. John Cole of Ipswich was executor. Robert ffyske was churchwarden for St. Mary's at Elms parish in 1547, and one of the coroners for Ipswich in 1556. His second wife Johane was also buried at St. Mary's at Elms, her will was dated May 22, 1567.

NB - In Fiske Family Papers, William (8) and Robert(10) are shown as sons of William(2). However Robert would appear to have been born somewhat later than his alleged siblings, and at Rendham rather than Laxfield. Significantly G.Andrews Moriarty does not recognise Robert(10) or William(8) as sons of William(2). Although that researcher does identify two unnamed sons they were born somewhat earlier than Robert, and had different spouses. For these reasons I have not connected Robert to the ffirst ffyskes table in the way that Henry ffiske did, but have assembled a possible ancestry for him based on some old wills that Henry did not mention. I have provisionally placed William[8] as Robert'[10]s uncle rather than his brother due to the 50 year gap between their respective wills..
