Robert Pryor

Robert Pryor DL JP (21 April 1812 - 23 August 1889) was an English barrister. Biography Pryor was the second son of Thomas Marlborough Pryor (1777-1821), a Quaker of Hampstead Heath, Middlesex and his wife Hannah, daughter of Samuel Hoare a banker. His elder brother Marlborough Pryor (1807-1869) was JP, but had left no children. Pryor was educated privately before being admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1829 and graduating as fourth wrangler in 1834. This began somewhat of a tradition for Pryors of going to Trinity. He was admitted to Lincoln's Inn in 1834 and Called to the Bar in 1837. Professionally, he practised as an equity barrister and conveyencer.
