Staffordshire / Re: Ralph Moreton
« on: Saturday 30 December 23 20:44 GMT (UK) »
A tree on MyHeritage has his baptism as Mar 15th 1712 at St Margaret's Wolstanton.
Marriage Mar 29 1741 to Hannah Birtles Leek Staffs.
Death Sept 23 1787 Wolstanton
Father Ralph Moreton, mother Mary, no surname. (They don't seem to have found the document at the National Archives giving her surname of Stonehewer)
Dates given for the father Ralph 1695 - 1752.
Baptism Nov 13 1695 Wolstanton.
Death Mar 10 1752.
Marriage July 10 1730
Parents of this Ralph were John, (Johannis), and mother Sarah (Sarae) Wedgwood married April 10 1694 Wolstanton.
John born Aug 12 1649 Wolstanton, to yet another Ralph, (given as a 'vicar'), and mother Elizabeth.
This John buried May 21 1673 Wolstanton.
Whoever has made this tree, has obviously found a lot of births, marriages and deaths in the Wolstanton registers - I've not checked - I'll leave you to do that. There are several siblings for each generation as you would expect - too many to list here, but they may prove to be useful when you're trying to find evidence of relationships - for example, a brother or sister, (if she is not married - married women could not make wills), may leave bequests to siblings, nephews and nieces, sisters in law, etc).
You would need to check all this out, and find other pieces of evidence to back up all this information, such as finding wills, and documents like those at Staffordshire Record Office and National Archives.
