Bedfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: CHARLTON - Harrold and Felmersham

Thanks that archives entry clarifies the poll book reference.

It seems slightly curious that the later reference is to Henry of Wollaston, who had at least one older brother (Samuel) still alive at his father's death. Doubtless Daniel's will would clarify the reason.
Daniel would seem to have been the eldest son of Samuel & Mary Birt since his grandfather's will makes no reference to him receiving anything when he reaches 21 in contrast to his siblings/cousins.

The other wills of interest, presumably in the Beds archives, are those of Samuel father and son who died in 1730 and 1760

thank you again for looking those wills out.

These make it clear that the Bolnhurst baptism isn't related and also provide the first mention of some other Christian names.

From these two wills we can identify

John Chalton & Ann

Children:
1.   Samuel Chalton married to Mary Birt (see C522)
Samuel had 3 (unnamed!) sons baptised at Wotton 1696, 1699, 1702
2.   Elizabeth Chalton (bap 5 June 1660 Kempston) married to _ Hartwell
3.   John Chalton (Bap 21 July 1661 Kempston) married to ?

Grandchildren
1.   Daniel son of Samuel
2.   Mary
3.   Sarah
4.   James
5.   Samuel son of Samuel
6.   Benjamin
7.   Elizabeth dau of John

perhaps Daniel is the connection to Wollaston?  There were 9 children baptised there to parents Dan & Judith from 1728/1729 to 1749

Thanks. I knew the mother's name for Samuel's baptism but have not discovered the wife's (or wives?) name for John of Tilbrook.

That reference to Thomas is useful since no record other than that (mispelt?) burial record appears to relate to him

Going back before 1707
we have Samuel is a yeoman of Harrold son of John Chaulton gent of Tilbrook (buried there 26 March 1711) [ref WE1326 1714]
baptised at Bolnhurst 10 Oct 1667 married to Mary Birt (C522) buried Harrold 19 march 1736

They had three sons baptised at Wotton in 1696, 1699 and 1702 no first names listed.
Samuel was apparently the eldest - a 1745 mortgage (C523) describes him as son & heir apparent of Samuel Charlton of Wootton, deceased

The uncertainties remain about how Samuel CHARLTON ended up a wheelwright in Kempston

What became of the sons of William Charlton & Judith Swannell after their parents died?
What is the connection with Henry Charlton of Wollaston?
Was Samuel apprenticed and if so where?

thanks I hadn't managed to find those two references.
Any thoughts on why the baptisms of William & Judith can't be found? Are some of the likely registers
damaged in places?

I haven't been able to check the license re Samuel's status on his marriage to Rose but it makes more sense of the 1745 reference for Rose to Samuel's wife than the wife of a 21 year old Marshall.

Samuel's children
16/1/1723-24 "Marchal of" Samuel & Judith Charlton baptised Harrold and buried Goldington 25 Nov 1770
7/5/1726 un-named son of Samuel & Judith Charlton buried at Carlton

and presumably also
ca 1730 William Charlton buried Carlton 1/3/1767 (married to Judith SWANNELL 30/1/1759)
ca 1730 Judith Charlton married William Bitherey at Harrold 2 Jan 1755 by license

A mortgage of 7/12/1763 document refers to Marshall Charlton (eldest son and heir of Samuel Charlton late of Harrold, yeoman and Judith his wife)
but makes no mention of any other (living) sons (e.g. William)

Its fascinating trying to sort out the connection (or not)

and two marriages by license at Northampton St Mary of CHARLTONs from Harrold!
25 May 1721 Samuel CHARLTON to Judith MARSHALL of Kingsthorpe (but born Carlton)
14 July 1737 Samuel CHARLTON to Rose Granborough of Brafield on the Green

apparently both of the same Samuel (son of Samuel of Wootton according to BLARS c523)

I said assumed because that was the only baptism I could find in the right age range in Beds. However, I have noticed that not all sources equate CHARLTON with spellings such as CHALTON so I shall dig further.

The Henry CHARLTON referred is presumably the elder of 2 sons of Sam CHARLTON baptised at Wollaston (Henry 1772, John 1775) (Freereg).
There is a baptism of Samuel son of Samuel at Easton Maudit, NTH in 1765 but he would (probably) not been of age in 1784! But no other baptism
