Unfortunately I don't know, I found the marriage transcribed in the Suffolk Marriage Index and the status of neither the bride or the groom is mentioned.  If Mary was married previously and Blake is not her maiden name it could explain why I can't find her baptism of course.  And it can make tracing a mitochondrial line very difficult.  I have a similar problem on my own line.

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Mary Blake of Bacton Suffolk
« on: Wednesday 13 August 14 18:36 BST (UK)  »
I am researching my husband's maternal/mitochondrial line and have got as far as Mary Blake.  I know she married Robert Goddard in Bacton in 1830, and both the 1851 and 1861 censuses give her place of birth as Bacton.  However in 1851 she was 47 and in 1861 she was 59 .  She is my husband's 3xgt.grandmother and I am hoping someone can find a baptism for her plus her parents names.

Hi Steve

How marvellous that you live at Nook Farm! 

I started this topic in 2008 when I began to have an interest in the Salt family of Wooton, and in particular at Nook Farm.  The earliest mention of a Salt in the Ellastone parish registers that I have found was in 1584 when William Salte baptised his son Thomas, and then three more sons by 1591.  In that year a John Salt married Jone Parkar, and both William and John are described as freemasons, ie stonemasons, in the registers.  I think William and John were brothers, but they may have been father and son, both also served as churchwardens at Ellastone church. 

Work probably brought them to Wootton in the late 16th century, and it may have been to help build Wootton Lodge which was built as a hunting lodge for Sir Richard Fleetwood between 1580 and 1610.  I understand that Nook farm was also built in the late 16th century and am wondering whether they built that as well.  I would be very interested indeed to know how far back your knowledge of the Salt family goes. 

I have traced my Salt family tree back to both of the original freemason Salts.  The connection with Nook farm I have traced back to Samuel Salt baptised in 1648, son of John and Emma Salt and gt.grandson of the original William.  Thomas died in 1699 and administration was granted to his wife Ann, also a Salt and gt.granddaughter of the original John Salt.  The administration lists his belongings and mentions "the goods in the house in the nook for it is commonly called so."

The Salts would have farmed as tenants and the Manorial Rolls should have records of changes of tenancy.  I have not looked at those yet, the combination of Latin and being written in secretary hand is a bit daunting.  The Salt family connection with Nook farm is my main interest now and I would appreciate any help you can provide. 

Regards
Beryl

Hi Clevercat

William Salt of Nook Farm was my 4xgt.grandfather so yes, we do have a connection and I am pleased to meet you.  He married Ann Heath at St.Peters Ellastone in 1806 and I have found 12 children for them altogether, including Rebecca Salt b1810, my 3xgt.grandmother. 

In the 1851 census Rebecca's daughter Mary Ann Salt was living with David and Mary Harrison, in Chester Road, Macclesfield, Cheshire.  She was working as a cook for them their children and their three lodgers.  I have never been able to find David and Mary after 1851, now I know from your post that they emigrated to Canada!

I have gradually acquired a lot of information about the Salt family and am happy to share with you.  Are you descended from William Salt Harrison?

Thanks Carol.

My lot are definitely from Wootton, but one thing I have learnt since starting to research them is that there are a lot of Salts in the county!
Plus there is a Wootton near Eccleshall.

Was your Ann Salt born in Cotton?

Hello Bel

I think I have found your George M Salt in the 1861 census in Church Street Longton.  He is with his parents William and Margaret Salt, William is a timber merchant and beer seller, born c1819 in Wootton.

My 4xgt.grandparents William Salt & Ann Heath had a son William bapt 1820 at Ellastone, so we could have a link, but there were three other Williams also baptised in 1818/1819 so I cannot say for sure unfortunately.

Is anyone else researching Salts in Wootton?  If so I would love to hear from you.

I have my 4xgt.grandparents William Salt b1772 married Ann Heath b1788 at Ellastone in 1806.  They had twelve children and lived at Nook Farm Wootton, and I suspect the farm may have been in the family for generations. 

A recent find in the Ellastone parish registers set off that train of thought.  All I need now is more research!:-
"18 Oct 1611.  John Hill, vicar of Ellaston married Elyzabeth daughter of William Salt of Wootton"
