Jane Darton b Plymouth 1819 m Sherborne 1846
« on: Saturday 31 March 18 10:36 BST (UK) »
Hi
I'm looking into my husband's side of the family and have hit a brick wall. Jane Darton is proving very elusive!

Jane Darton married Frederick Hamblin 10 May 1846 in Sherborne. Their witnesses were Joseph Hamblin (Frederick's father) and James Bozwell. John Darton is given as Jane's father.

I've found them on all the census. Frederick was born 1823 in Sherborne and died 1886 in Kent. Jane was born 1819 in Plymouth Devon and died 1902 in Kent.

I can't seem to find Jane's christening or anything else that will help to identify her parents.

If anyone can help I'll be very grateful.

I've also put this message on the Devon board.

Thanks

Have you found Jane on the 1841 census, who is she with?

Oh, I think this is her, with the HAWKINS family in Sherborne
HO107/295/47

So no parents there ...

Thanks for your reply. Yes I'd found her on 1841. Hawkins don't seem to fit anywhere so guess she was either a visitor or servant.

There is this family living in Sherborne in the 1841 census:

John Darton    35    not in County
John Darton     15
Henry Darton     1    Dorset
John Darton    55    
Caroline Darton  15   
Jemima Darton    25     Dorset

HO107/295/8 pg 10

Either of these John's could be the witness to Jane's marriage (the 55-59yr old or 35-39yr old) Could be father and brother of Jane? But need to do some more research.

There was no witness of that name. See the other thread!

In the opening post, Olive said the witnesses were Joseph HAMBLIN and John DARTON?

Oh, this is the problem with having two threads.  ;D

The John DARTON's in the 1841 census above were both coach builders in later censuses.
