Can you help?

I am trying to find out any information I can on a William Thornton, born c1760 who lived in Worcester. William was twice married, first to an Elizabeth (born c1760 / died 1795) and then to Ann Hutton (born c.1788). William and Ann were married in Claines, Worcestershire in 1796.

Robert Thornton.

Thank you all for your input on this.

From what you have posted, it does look more likely that the name is Hatton and not Hutton, although I have no idea how I will work out if a) this is correct, and b) which of the Hatton contenders is the right one!

All thoughts and ideas welcome!
