That William Laxton looks as though he is NOT a sibling of John
this marriage is showing on ancestry, taking place in Yaxley just prior to the 1851 Census being taken
England, Select Marriages, 1538–1973 about William Laxton
Name: William Laxton Gender: Male Marriage Date: 19 Mar 1851 Marriage Place: Yaxley, Huntingdon, England Father: William Laxton <<<<<<<<<<<< Spouse: Elizabeth Stanger FHL Film Number: 1040732 Reference ID: p 62
and the reverse makes me think that they are lodging with Elizabeth's father in the 1851 ............. with his name being transcribed wrongly
Name: Elizabeth Stanger Gender: Female Marriage Date: 19 Mar 1851 Marriage Place: Yaxley, Huntingdon, England Father: William Stanger <<<<<<<<<, Spouse: William Laxton FHL Film Number: 1040732 Reference ID: p 62
so, seemingly no connection

Thanks for your help. I guess my Jane Laxton may have died young
Cheers.

Ignore that last posting!!!
From ancestry .................
This looks a more likely marriage for them ..........................
England, Select Marriages, 1538–1973 about John Laxton
Name: John Laxton Gender: Male Marriage Date: 22 Apr 1839 Marriage Place: Yaxley, Huntingdon, England Father: John Laxton Spouse: Jane Meadows FHL Film Number: 1040732 Reference ID: p 6
it gives his father as Jphn Laxton
and the reverse entry gives the name of Jane's father as Charles Meadows ...............
Name: Jane Meadows Gender: Female Marriage Date: 22 Apr 1839 Marriage Place: Yaxley, Huntingdon, England Father: Charles Meadows Spouse: John Laxton FHL Film Number: 1040732 Reference ID: p 6

yes that made be think twice when I saw that her surname was the same as her husband. I did see the marriage in Coventry... Could be them, I guess.

This is the only John Laxton and Jane marriage that I could find on freebmd .........................
it could be them!

I'll do some more digging
EDIT:- ............ Ignore this ................ see posting below!
Incidentally ................... a lot of people use the wife's married name on ancestry trees .............. so it almost always does NOT mean that her maiden name was the same as her husband's :-)

Mary Jane's birth was registered in the December quarter of 1841 ...........

Here are John and Jane in 1841 ..........................
you probably didn't widen the search on his birth year.
Ages on the 1841 Census for people over the age of 15 were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 ......... so he's showing as born in 1821.
Plus the 1841 Census only shows whether someone was born in or out of the county where they were living, or born in Scotland, Ireland or Foreign Parts
1841 Census
Name: John Laxton Age: 20 Estimated birth year: abt 1821 Gender: Male Civil Parish: Yaxley Hundred: Norman Cross County/Island: Huntingdonshire Country: England Registration district: Peterborough Sub-registration district: Stilton Neighbors: View others on page Piece: 452 Book: 27 Folio: 28 Page Number: 9
John Laxton 20, Ag Lab Jane Laxton 25 b.ca 1816

from image:- both John and Jane are shown as "not born in county"

yes that is the right census Sylvain... ...
As for the other Laxtons found near by I do not know.

According to the 1851 census... John Laxton b. 1815 Winick Hunts married Jane _____ b 1814 Peterborough. They are found in the 1851 census in Yaxley with some children. On other sites they have Jane's surname as Laxton (but no proof she was a Laxton too).. I cannot find their marriage... First child Mary Jane was born 1841 in Yaxley according to the census. I cannot find the 1841 census either. If someone can find a marriage and her last name.. that might help... as I have a Jane Laxton b. 1815 Paston whose father was Robert who married Alice Little. Thanks in advance to anyone who may offer some suggestions.
