1841/1851 census In Sibson - Henton
« on: Wednesday 16 March 05 12:34 GMT (UK) »
Any help finding the profession of Isaac Henton born abt 1781 in Sibson. He was married to Ann (abt 1775 also in Sibson) and I believe they spent all their life in Sibson.

Thanks

Greeting's Sarah......

I've had a look on the 1841. Census for Sibson but didn't find Isaac & Ann Henton...
But there was three Henton families within the Village
Richard Aged 60. Ag.Lab. ( Isaac’s Father ? )
W. Henton. Age 25. Ag.Lab.
William. Age 45. Tailor.

So that was two - one for Ad.Lab.

I found the following Marriage :-

ISAAC HENTON. ~ ANN GADSBY.
Sibson.
1804. By Banns.

©  Copyright Leicestershire & Rutland Family History Society.2003.

I also found the following Burials in Sibson :-

Isaac Henton.
18th. Dec. 1854.
Aged 74.
Abode Atherstone.

Ann. Henton.
17th. Nov. 1843.
Aged 68.

©  Copyright Leicestershire & Rutland Family History Society.2002.

I did try Atherstone returns for 1841. But the pages were too faded to read...Sorry.

Mike

Thank you for that - Richard is a possible for the father but I am 99% certain that W. Henton is his son - so that's really useful - as is the information on deaths. 

Thank again Mike

Well Mike - this is brilliant - it looks like you have found a first wife for William Henton that I had no idea about - i'm sure it must be him howerver it seems odd that when he married again in Leicester in 1846 he declared himself a bachelor not a widower. 

More thinking required I think

Thanks a lot though

Looks like William and Sarah are still in Sibson in 1851.

So The William on the 1851. City Census might be a Son of Isaac. ?

Mike

this is very interesting - but at least it shows that great great grandfather wasn't a liar and hadn't been married before - don't suppose there is another william henton in leicester in 1941 aged somewhere between 16 and 21?

I think I am going to have to make a visit to Leicestershire soon!
