It's a guess that Robert was born at Norton and that he was at least 25 years old at marriage.
You will find below what I have found so Far on my research on Robert Raper, I have found he is from England and married Janet Taylor also from England. Their son James Raper was born in 1589, England.
Robert/Robertus Raper was born in England and married Janet/Janeta Tayler on 7 Feb 1585 in Norton, County Durham, England, United Kingdom.
On 7 Feb 1585/6 Robertus Raper (of Hardwycke Field House, son of Gulielmi [William] Raper) married Janeta Tayler (of Carleton) at Norton, St Mary. They had a son, James Raper born 1589, England. [1]
I am still researching this family as I do not see where either William Ocie Raper or Goldie Marie Quick was Robert Rapers Parents
From Irene Marlborough
On 21 Jan 1585/6 Gulielmus [William] Raper, pastor de Hardwicke Feld, parish de Norton was buried at Norton, St Mary. [2]
This information tells us that Robert's father William died about 2 weeks before Robert's marriage. it's a reason to suppose that William was either opposed to the match or his estate being inherited by Robert provided the necessary income to support a wife and family.
