1841 Deaton Family

[Peachface]

Hi dillybert,

Sorry, no to all three questions.  All I can ascertain about Joseph Deaton born in 1832 was he had three wives, Ann Morris, the mother of all his five children, Mary Ann Prince, and lastly Elizabeth Massey.

Looking at the IGI records I'm guessing that his father was born in 1796, but cannot find a wife for him.

Interestingly, I can find his son Joseph in the censuses, and his brothers, James and William, but Joseph refuses to be found.

Thanks.

Hi Cougar,

I've just scored a hit, I've found Joseph Deaton in the 1881 census living with four of his children, all tally up with birthdates.  He is to be found under DEACON, so sorry to be such an ongoing pain, but can you please look up Joseph Deacon in the 1841 census.

I've read all the Bryant & May literature with great interest. 

In the 1881 census Joseph is a Skillet Cutter and on his daughter's marriage certificate he is a Bin Wicker, anyone know what these were please?

Also Joseph Deacon married a Jane Ann Morriss in 1854 at Bethnal Green, on Elizabeth Deaton's birth certificate she is an Ann Morris, but as one of the daughters is also called Jane Ann, I think it is the correct family.

Hi Peachface
Am I still looking for the one born c1832 - if so, there is only one Joseph DeaCon in Middlesex and not the right father.

Hi Peachface,
Me again.
Sending you pm - just hit paydirt on the 1861.

As for your occupations -
Old Occupations link -
http://rmhh.co.uk/occup/a.html
unfortunately neither of yours are on there.

bin wicker I would guess would be someone working the the wicker/rattan trade.
skillet cutter - now skillets in the 1800's were not only around then, but are still being used today.  Reason - they were made from cast iron - so again, would guess that he had something to do with the metal trade - perhaps cutting out the 'original' shape for the skillet?
As for the 1861 find - glad to help.
Cheers, Cougar

Hi
I dont know if this could help you in any way but I have a Jane Deighton born in Kilburn in 1837
although I have never seen a census for her name was often spelt wrong
Might Help?

Hi Den,

Thanks for the info on Jane Deighton, although Jane seemed to be a favourite name in my family line of Deaton's, they all seemed to be born around Bethnal Green, London.  By now you will have seen that I found my Joseph Deaton under Deacon in the 1881 census and Cougar found him in the 1861 census back under Deaton.

Thanks,

Peachface

Hi Daisy,

Thank you for finding the 1871 census, no I did not have it and is seems to be the correct family as they were still living at No. 6 Knottisford Street, Bethnal Green in the 1881 census.  They seemed to have gained a daughter, Hannah, wonder where she was in the 1861 census.  I shall have to research her.  The name surely changes, Deaton and all the different spellings, Deacon, Denton.

Thanks again for your thoughtfulness in passing on the 1871 census.
