Montgomeryshire Lookup Requests / Re: James Felton b 1783 Montgomery
« on: Tuesday 30 May 17 17:49 BST (UK)  »
I have been looking for his parents, but he is is 1841 census a widow Dawley Magna and then 1851 Undermanagement Coalbrook Colliery remarried to Ellen Skelton, (1844) 2 of her children living with him then and 2 of his grandchildren (Felton).
He is father of Ellen Felton who married James Tranter of Acrefair, Nr Ruabon but sadly died a year after marriage.  I have been unable to find an Ellen baptism for Elizabeth (nee Tranter) and James Felton but there is one for Eleanor so I am wondering if this is her. James Tranter remarried to an Elizabeth Jones and my line is descended from his 2nd marriage. James Felton was stated as a Ground Bailiff on Ellen Felton and James Tranters wedding cert 1841.
I am interested also because on ancestry dna there is a link to Elizabeth Tranter married to James Felton.  The dna link must come from Elizabeth Tranter.
Kind regards, Jenny

I have a James Felton in my tree.  He was a Ground Bailiff ? where.  His daughter Ellen Felton married James Tranter of Acrefair, Ruabon in 1841.  Sadly she died soon after marriage probably in childbirth, no living child of issue though.

James Tranter and his family, father was Samuel Tranter married Maria Tolley originally came from Dawley Magna.  I think James Felton might also come from Dawley, although Ellens place of residence was Acrefair at time of marriage.  I cannot find her place of birth but it might be Dawley although I have Acrefair 1814 in the absence of any other information.

James married again and it is through his 2nd wife that my line descends.  I am interested in The Feltons though because Ancestry DNA gives a match to the Felton Family through a marriage with an Elizabeth Tranter of Dawley, so it looks as if there was a long standing friendship between the 2 families.  Also because Elizabeth is a Tranter that is how the DNA is related to me, although I again cannot place her parents for certain.

I am not sure if anyone can help with this certainly some info about James Felton would be nice, but I also thought it might help with the above query.  Jenny
