thanks for the reply Sylvain... I believe we have made progress with
this family. Some of the descendants appear to have gone to Canada.

Just for the record!


I posted those 2 baptisms for Jane Laxton in Paston and in Glinton LAST night .............. and queried whether they were the same or whether she had been baptised in 2 different places.

it's all on page 1 :-)


I'd already sorted out that Blaine was not looking for a married Jane Laxton, but for one born Jane Laxton!

Just got home... Thanks for the replies....
There may be another child Wright Laxton b. about 1823 in
Glinton Northants... from Births and Christenings...
parents Robert Laxton and Alice

but there appears to be a William Laxton and wife Elizabeth
who has a son Wright born the same year at Glinton.
Any idea which one is in the 1861 census? Some trees
has Wm and Elizabeth as the parents.

Ummm if she was born Jane Laxton in Northants, it is very unlikely that she married a Mr. Laxton from another county.
Looks like we have all been barking up the wrong tree :-S

How did you work back to her?

Their first child was in fact William baptised on 12th April 1840 in Yaxley. Perhaps he died before the 1841 census.
Mary Jane was baptised on 31st October 1841.
They had another Mary Jane baptised on 17th March 1844 so again, the first girl possibly died.
I have recently transcribed most of the Yaxley parish records for www.freereg.org.uk and many people don't realise that freereg does stop at 1837, many records are much later, unfortunately not marriages, though.
There aren't that many references to Laxton around the time you are looking for.
