I have been looking for his parents, but he is is 1841 census a widow Dawley Magna and then 1851 Undermanagement Coalbrook Colliery remarried to Ellen Skelton, (1844) 2 of her children living with him then and 2 of his grandchildren (Felton).
He is father of Ellen Felton who married James Tranter of Acrefair, Nr Ruabon but sadly died a year after marriage. I have been unable to find an Ellen baptism for Elizabeth (nee Tranter) and James Felton but there is one for Eleanor so I am wondering if this is her. James Tranter remarried to an Elizabeth Jones and my line is descended from his 2nd marriage. James Felton was stated as a Ground Bailiff on Ellen Felton and James Tranters wedding cert 1841.
I am interested also because on ancestry dna there is a link to Elizabeth Tranter married to James Felton. The dna link must come from Elizabeth Tranter.
Kind regards, Jenny
