1841/1851 census In Sibson - Henton

[sarah99]

Rob/Sarah,

Just had to join in this thread because I am also descended from William Henton and Sarah Higgs 

My connection is through their daughter Ann that married Joseph Barnes in Kingsbury Warks on 12 October 1865.  I'm not sure that I can sort out the 2 Williams but mine seems to have been a labourer.

Rob, I have a copy the younger William's birth certificate, he was born on 5th December 1850 and this confirms that his mother's maiden name was Higgs.

I have not gone back much further with this line but would be happy to help if I can

Hi Pinetree

We're becoming quite a merry little band - let's hope together we can sort these Hentons out!

I found this website when I was scouring the internet one day

www.mdlp.co.uk/resources/Sibson/index.htm

There's nothing there as yet but it says that history and burial information is coming soon - so this might help us in due course.

Regards
Sarah

So Rob, you think your William is the son of Isaac and Ann too? I suppose that as your William was married in 1837 there is no marriage certificate for him. This is getting very intriguing

As Sibson is such a small village the two Williams are connected - I'm going to check out numbers of Hentons in the 1841 and 51 census and see if that reveals any clues and get back to you.

Rob/Sarah,

Thanks once again to Mike's generous help I think we have cracked which William HENTON (of those both bap. on 21 May 1816) is which.

Mike looked up the marriage of William HENTON and Sarah HIGGS that took place in Sibson on 16 October 1837.  William's father was William HENTON Tailor which makes mine and Rob's William son of William HENTON and Elizabeth WHITEHEAD and Sarah99's the son of Issac HENTON and Ann GADSBY.

Also gives Sarah HIGGS's father as John HIGGS so looks like we are on the rights lines there too, Rob.

Let me know what you think.

Hi Pinetree

I'm glad we got that sorted thanks to Mike and you. I'm still of the view that the two Williams baptised on the same day are related in some way? Possibly cousins - ie William snr and Isaac brothers?

Thanks for the information

Kind regards
Sarah

PS Is it Mike from Leicester that helped - he recently was a great help with my William's wife's family too!

[Pinetree]

Sarah,

It was indeed Mike from Leicester that looked up the marriage 

I think William snr and Issac were possibly brothers parents Richard HENTON and Susannah PEARSON that married in Sibson on 12 Oct 1777.  Unfortunately Issac's bap. is not on IGI so it's a bit of guess work where he is concerned.

I have tried to piece together all the Sibson HENTONs from IGI and the other bits and pieces we have.  It's too big to post here but I'll try and send it by PM so you can see what you think.

P.S. I amended my last message slightly to clarify who was who just in case some poor soul tries to follow this thread in the future

Good news, many thanks for the digging on this one! 

On IGI, Richard HENTON, son of Isaac HENTON, had a brother named Isaac bap Bef. 29 Dec 1748 but I've not found any marriage/children for him.

Speculating, it is possible that he may have been the father of the Isaac who married Ann GADSBY. 

<edit> Also on IGI is a marriage of Isaac HINTON and Elizabeth PAGET in Kingsbury, Warks on 08 Jul 1771. So far, I've found that they had one child named Isaac bap 01 May 1774, Bur Jun 1776.

It is feasible that this may have been 'our' Isaac - Kingsbury is only 15 miles from Sibson.

Hello pinetree,

I to am descended through Joseph Barnes and Ann Henton. Their daughter - Sarah Ada married my great-grandfather Samuel Swindell, and have been investigating the Henton line.

I'd be interested to find out your connection.

Hello Glen,

Welcome to Rootschat.

Thank you for your message.

Sarah's brother Samuel was my Gr Grandfather.  He married Susanna HATTON in 1884 in Fazeley.  From the information I have gathered on the BARNES family I think Samuel was the eldest of Joseph and Ann's children and Sarah the youngest.

I don't think I have made much progress with the HENTON line in recent years.  I would be happy to share what I have.  I will try sending you my e-mail by personal message.

All the best,

Pinetree

Hello again Geln.

I don't think I can send you a PM until you have at least three posts on Rootschat.

Hello Pinetree,

Thankyou I have received your PM.

You are correct, Samuel was the eldest of Joseph and Ann's 9 children, and my g-grandma Sarah, the youngest. I have followed the line back a few more generations, but seem to get stuck at an Issac Henton. I cannot find any references to him at all.

So far I have

but I cannot find positive references to Issac, either by christening or marriage.

The Hentons are my current line of enquiry, so I will keep you updated with any news I have.
