He married Marian Overing at Winslow on 30 April 1571; her burial is recorded (as Anne wife of Robert) on 3 Jan 1617/18. Their daughter Elizabeth married Robert Illing at Winslow on 28 Oct 1594. Robert Norman held a messuage, a cottage and 10 acres of land according to the schedule of 1610.

Paul Lancaster's children were baptised at Winslow between 1596 and 1603. Marion daughter of Richard Stutsburie was baptised on 9 May 1606.
