Looking for Catherine Akin/Adkin, I cant seem to find a baptism for her.
She marries Lancelot Hickton, 21 Jul 1744, Sneinton, Nottinghamshire. 'Launcelot Hickton, of St Peters, Nottingham, Framework Knitter, aged 42, and Catherine Akin, of Sneinton, Spinster, aged 20'
License states Catherine is born c1724. The register of Sneinton lists her as 'Akin' but the Nottinghamshire Marriage index transcription records her as 'Adkin'. The abstracts of Nottinghamshire marriage licenses list her as 'Akin' as well.
The only similar baptism I can find in or near Sneinton is for an Elizabeth Adkin bapt 1724 Sneinton, daughter of Robert and Ann.
Although I think this family may be using Adkinson/Adkin/Atkinson and other variants.
This family is also listed in transcription as 'Adkisson'.
Baptisms in Sneinton for 'Adkisson'
John Adkisson, bapt 1713 Sneinton, son of Robert and Ann.
Robert Adkisson, bapt 1715 Sneinton, son of Robert and Ann.
Ann Adkisson, bapt 1718 Sneinton, daughter of Robert and Ann.
Elizabeth Adkisson, bapt 1722 Sneinton, daughter of Robert and Ann. There is a burial in 1724 and 1725 for an Elizabeth with surname both recorded as Adkin and Adkisson. This would fit the two Elizabeth baptisms.
No Catherine though.
Ann, wife of Robert Adkisson, buried 1727 Sneinton.
I think this Robert then goes onto marry a Christian, but now name is listed as 'Adkinson'.

There's a burial for Robert Adkinson, a labourer, in Sneinton in 1740. He probably ddn't leave a will but it might be worth looking, to see if any children are named.
Who was Lancelot's co-signatory on the marriage licence?
I can only see 3 possible children for Lancelot and Catherine -- Mary (1747), Ann (1748) and another Mary (1751) -- all at St Peter's. That doesn't help much.
Both Marys died as babies, the first in 1747 and the second in 1752. Catherine also died in 1752, a few months before baby Mary. Lancelot died in 1764.

I don't know who the co-signatory was. I cant seem to actually view the license itself. Just the marriage in the register of Sneinton.
I think that was all of their children. I descend from Ann who went on to marry William Manship, 1772 Nottingham.

Ancestry has the typed transcription Vol II part I of Arch Deacon's Court.
Issued by the British Record Society
They did not record everything.
21 July 1744 Lancelot Hickton of St. Peter's Nottingham age 42 and Catherine Akin of Snenton (sp)
aged 20 at same
So she was born circa 1724 plus or minus
