Hi :)
After a very long time of doing research for other folk, I have decided time has passed and I will go back to my ancestors, I realise I may have muddled them a bit in the early years of researching ,
the time is right to try and get them sorted ;)
so to start with Thomas Exton born abt 1647, Empringham, Rutland .
are there any leads in parish registers to confirm his birth, or if He married a Sarah ? in abt 1676 give or take a few years, If ? I have the correct thomas Exton then I think a son Robert Exton ( my line ) came along in about 1684 maybe Braunston.
any help much appreciated, Eilleen.

For your information - Leicestershire Parish Records are now available to view on FindMyPast ;)
Empingham - 11 June 1648 - Thomas son of Samuell and Elizabeth Exton.

BumbleB thank you . :)

There is a bap 10/6/1694 in Braunstone Rut child of Thomas and Sarah Exton - the page is ripped so can't tell if a son or daughter.
Also a ma of Beatricia Exton in Empingham 16/2/1664 to Thomas Cox - could this be a sister of Thomas?
Quite a few Extons in Empingham and Braunstone but records difficult to read and some in Latin!
Will be happy to look again if you need any more.

Latin ???
I am working tomorrow but will be back on the trail come Friday.
really appreciate your help. thank you.

Hi
My copy of Parish Register shows this;
Samuel & Elizabeth baptized 3 more children in Empingham
1 January 1644/5 John Exton
21 May 1653 Elizabeth Exton
March 1664/5 Mary Exton
Then burials
11 March 1674/5 Elizabeth Exton wife of Samuel
6 April 1681 Samuel Exton aged
Hope this helps you piece it altogether

Hi,
Have been reading your posts, I have also come up with the missing child name as Robert Exton born in 1694. which is my line of descent as well.
