Sorry if I have gone off on a tangent here but I was enjoying the challenge.
Back tomorrow.
Just let me know if I can find anything else for you.

Thank you Trish - I could see you were on a roll!!   It's all looking very neat and logical - I'll sit and piece it together shortly - meanwhile it sounds like high time you were heading for bed!!
I don't have ancestry sub at the moment.  I let it lapse in the vain hope of cutting down time spent researching, but that never works does it?!        I may have to sub again in the new year when work/kids/life is not quite so hectic.

Many thanks again for your efforts

Sorry Trish - realised I didn't answer your point about whereabouts the children of David Deakin/Mary Ann Jones were born.  It looks like George (1856) was born Birmingham, Allegheny. PA, and my friend suggests that David and Mary Ann were likely to have married in the States (& not in the UK) just prior to that.

I guess al least that removes the question of how David (from Derbyshire) could have bumped into Mary Ann (from Herefordshire).

It seems that there was large pottery established in Swadlincote in 1821 (close to the area these Deakins were born, which makes sense of why John Deakin (1799) might have moved there - he was a potter from Longton (the heart of the Staffordshire Pottery industry).   
I love it when stories begin to make sense, don't you?

You were right about Stephen Winfield (1794) being the brother of Sarah Winfield (1803).  They were both children of Stephen & Frances Winfield (probs born around 1770).  Stephen junior was baptised in Hartshorne & his sister in a neighbouring village of Blackfordby.

There don't seem to be any easily found online leads for the Deakin/Bolton/Winfields at the top of the tree, so it may just grind to a halt here, though maybe when I resub to ancestry next year I can then at least track all the Deakin/Winfield/Bolton offspring.

Thanks once again for all your help

I am related to David DEAKIN’s wife Mary Ann JONES through her sister Phoebe Maria JONES; both sisters emigrated to the US (Mary Ann to Pittsburgh where she married David DEAKIN (sr) but also lived in Ohio; Phoebe and family to Chicago). 

I only discovered the connection in April 2011 when someone sent me postcards that had been sent to Phoebe Maria on her 89th birthday signed by not only her known children and grandchildren but others claiming to be her sister, nieces, nephews -- and some whose relationships I have yet to decipher.  (Follow-up US Census searches uncovered that DEAKIN was sometimes spelled as DEACON or even DAKIN.)

I uncovered several family trees on-line that included at least one DEAKIN (Harvey Richard Deakin had 2 wives).  Eventually I uncovered a US-based DEAKIN descendant who provided more info.  (She might have been the American that one of you had helped several years ago?)
 
1) If you are related to David DEAKIN or Mary Ann JONES, send me a “Personal Message” off the forum, so we can chat in private.   

2) If you are related to Mary Ann JONES, also see my postings for Thomas P JONES in the “Glamorganshire Lookups”; Phoebe Maria Jones in the “Herefordshire Lookups”;  and Benjamin Franklin JONES in the “US Lookups”
