Ben Hanton

[aldee]

Hi , I am beginning to wonder if I will ever be able to find Ben Hanton , circa 1785 -91 . I have now come to the conclusion that he was born in another county or country . Suffolk , London , Ireland or Scotland .
Marriage in Upton gives him as "of this parish ", I agree he probably lived there but doubt he was  born there . The closest I came to finding a  Ben Hanton was Dickleborough 1794 , feasible , however that meant he had Christiana Tungate 7 months pregnant when he married her in Aug 1814 , their first son , also Ben,  was born in Oct 1814 . that would make him  20  his bride 24 . However the 1841 and the 1851 shows 5 years difference in ages and Ben being the elder partner

I am so confused .

Hi

Have you actually looked at the parish registers for Upton?  I see he gives his and his wifes place of birth there in 1851.

Thank you Rosie , but I bought the parish records for Upton (on fiche) many years ago .

I only asked as so many people nowadays look no further than their computer     Perhaps he was one of the many who didn't really know where he was born and just selected the same place as his wife.

Hi Rosie , that was my thoughts exactly . However I do think he was part of the family spelt Haunton, later Hanton ,who lived in Upton ,  now this family seem to have a break of about 4-5 years  Francis 1781 , and then Samuel 1786when no children were born , previously  every two years.  I have to wonder did they move away to find work? .
  The marriage of Ben and Christiana one of the witnesses was Samuel Hanton
AS ABOVE ???perhaps. THANK YOU

Hi Aldee,

Did you get anywhere with Ben Hanton?
I am looking for the parents of Ben Hanton b. circa 1791, father of Ben Hanton b. 1816 too. Really my interest lies in a William Hanton, who was my GG Grandmother's nephew, killed at Ypres in WW1. But then I found another William Hanton who was killed in WW2, who is a descendant of your Ben 1791, and I am trying to see if/where a family connection lies. Haven't found a link so far, but I am assuming that as they are all registered in the Blofield parish, there must be a link somewhere, but perhaps I wont be able to go back far enough.

What a wonderful photo! Is this Ben Hanton 1791? Do you know the history of it?

Thanks,
Karen
