In the marriage transcript to Elizabeth it says they are both 'Of This Parish' so I'm assuming he's from there, as also going through other records theres a joseph horton who died in Rowley regis in 1826 who was born in 1794 but i think there maybe a transcription error on their part as his children william and sarah wouldn't have been born yet. - Though saying that i suppose they could be illegitimate children (Half Children) as it were as I can only find baptisms for Joseph and Jane which reference both Joseph And Elizabeth together

Married an Elizabeth Clarke in Halesowen in 1817

I think he had the following Children
Joseph Horton Born 1820
Jane Horton Born 1823
Sarah Horton Born 1830
William Horton Born 1834

Can anyone find any reference of Parents or Siblings for Joseph Horton b1794 - been stuck for ages and its driving me mad.

Many Thanks in advance

Looking into my 4th Great Grandfather Joseph Horton and i'm very stuck!

Background info:

The Horton name is Extremely common throughout Worcestershire, Staffordshire & Shropshire Specifically the Areas (20mile Radius) of Rowley Regis, Darlaston, Tipton, Dudley, Cradley Heath, Oldbury etc. Which is why I'm finding it so hard to find the correct Family Line. As all Hortons had large families then each child would have a large family and so on it would result in 2-3 Joseph Hortons born within 1-3 Year of each other.

So far My Information for Joseph Horton Born Around 1820 in Rowley Regis is as Follows

Name: Joseph Horton
Birth: Between 1818 -1823
Place: Rowley Regis/Stafford Rowley (According to Census Data)

Father: Joseph Horton (Confirmed From Marriage Banns)
Mother: Elizabeth (Possibly Clarke 95% Certain) Clarke Spelled with and without the E

Siblings:
Jane Horton b1823
Sarah Horton b1830
William Horton b1834
(Sibling info obtained from church records and free reg referencing a Joseph and Elizabeth Horton as Parents) - William Horton 1831 also appears on Census in 1851 with his brother Joseph Horton & wife Hannah


Wife: Hannah Poole B1920 (Confirmed from Marriage Banns Transcriptions from FreeReg & Birth Certs of Children.
Birth Place: Possibly Rowley Regis.
Married: 25th December 1842 at St. John the Baptist, Halesowen, Worcestershire

Children:

Sarah Horton b1844 approx - d1922
Elizabeth Horton b1846
Ann Horton b1852 - D1932
Mary Horton b1858 - d1864

I was wondering if anyone could help tie down Josephs correct birth year, place and parents and any further information going back.

Many Thanks

Unless the one with sylvia as a mother is right but i again can't find any reference to a sylvia downes and joseph Horton.

from 1851 - 1911 lists it as either Stafford Rowley or Rowley Regis, Staffordshire.
