Robert Baskerville Rickards Mynors was born at Bath in Somerset on 1 July 1819, the eldest son of Peter Rickards Mynors and his wife Mary Elizabeth née Halliday.

He was educated at Eton and at Christ Church, Oxford. On 30 September 1852 he married Ellen Gray Higgins at Bosbury in Herefordshire. Their marriage produced four sons and two daughters. One daughter died in infancy and one son died of dysentry in South Africa during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. 

The family appear on the 1861 census, living at Evancoyd, near New Radnor [Wales]. Robert described himself as a 'Landed Proprietor.'

He appears again on the 1881 census, living at Evancoyd Seat, in Evenjobb, Radnorshire. [Evenjobb and Evancoyd were two names for the same place; the parish was only formed in 1870]. He now gave his profession as 'Justice of the Peace.'

Robert Baskerville Mynors, of Treago, Herefordshire, and Evancoyd, Radnorshire, is listed in The Great Landowners of Wales (1873).

He died on 21 September 1889 at Evancoyd House, leaving an estate valued at £9672.
