Thank you Magslote for all that information from Upton and Sawtry. I had hoped that there may have been more records of baptisms at Sawtry All Saints.

I had a slightly different date for Sarah Stapleton's burial in 1830 which I will alter on my records.(although it may not be strictly applicable now - her not being a direct ancestor ) I appreciate all your help and assistance.  regards

thanks BumbleB -  I have changed my request to baptism record not birth cert -  I am perhaps over-confident -

  I am wondering ?? if Mary (2) may have been instead the granddaughter of Mary (1) There were 2 older daughters -  Sarah who was born in 1814 and married in 1846 when she was 32, and also Lydia who married when about 20ish in 1837. 

I am sure that there will always be too many unanswered questions but I quess one can but hope...

many thanks

Huntingdonshire / Transportation of Thos Stapleton, ?dau Mary born 2 yrs later in Sawtry, Hunts

Hi, I would just like to make a request please.
A Thomas Stapleton (b 1791) of Sawtry, Hunts m. Mary Finedon/Finden/Finding (b 1790ish) of Upton, Hunts. in 1812 in Upton. There were at least 4 living children.

In 1830,Thomas was charged for 14 years and imprisoned for machine breaking in 4 different locations in Hunts.  He was transported to Van Diemans Land in 1833 and given a free pardon in 1837. He remained in Tasmania until his death in 1861.

My question is -   a daughter was born to Mary Findeon(1)Stapleton in Sawtry - also named Mary (2) in 1835, so obviously the father was not Thomas, but on Mary (2) Stapleton marriage cert to a Samuel Wagstaff in Woodwalton in 1853, Mary names a Thomas Stapleton as her father.

I am wondering if it is possible to see, if on Mary (2) Stapleton's baptism record in Sawtry there is an indication of who Mary's real father may have been.  Many thanks

thinking, thinking,

  Can you tell from any of your certificates if Dinah was educated -  eg her signature etc that could indicate her ?status.

I think that there may have been some small coal mines near the Idle area.   So William snr was a labourer about the similiar time when Samuel was going off to Australia with his family.  all interesting    thanks so all your input - wonder if we will ever know.....

Thank you all so much for all the help.
 I have now been back on ancestry and one distant rel has placed some info  & certifications there and now I can see that Samuel's father William was a miner.

  What I was wondering is - how a boy from a poor family could end up becoming involved with the music scene in the early 1820's.  Would he have been educated at a normal school or out of hours at a sunday school. Maybe he may have been employed in one of the mills during the day.   I am wondering if somehow he could have become a apprentice for an organ making/repairs company or church.  Whether he had to be baptised to be able to do this and so the whole family was done at the same time.    just all wondering???!!! thanks again.

Hi Evie,  thanks for your  welcome.  The only place that I had seen the name 'Tole' was on ancestry.com   and I had been trying to figure it out when I found that there was not a town or village called 'Tole' only Tollesby that was quite a long way from Halifax. So I figured that there was more than likely a misunderstanding of another town name.

 I don't know who would have original posted the name 'Tole' to Samuel Marshall on ancestry. it's still all a bit new to me.  hope that helps   Many thanks for all the interesting info.  Viv

Hi, first time on this -  read your comments last week and have joined up today.
  I was thinking this Tole thing through and figured out last night that it was most likely a misinterpretation of Idle.  And then today here it was confirmed.  quite chuffed.

But anyway , we are descended through Samuel and his son George.  Can't tell you how many Marshalls are out there communicating and working on this stuff.
 
I have only started in the last couple of weeks (didn't know about Samuel at all til then)  There are quite a lot of interesting articles on www.trove.nla.gov. au      about their time in Adelaide and also some on William in Sydney.  Samuel was an organ and piano manufacturer and had a music shop in Adelaide. Samuel and also son George also worked on the manufacture of the Ridley Wheat Stripper in South Australia. But you may know about that.
