The other Stanton children I have are: Tenant Stanton b1812, survived to adulthood,William John Stanton b1813, and Richard b&d1815.Laetitia Stanton b 1822 my great grandmother, married Thomas Burton, thus making (If I am correct) John Stanton and Elizabeth Northern one set of my 3great grandparents. An Edward Stanton (b Brighton 1843) married Lucy Burton (b Pinchbeck 1847) my grandmother's elder sister. Before I started the research I thought that Lucy had simply married a first cousin (probably once or more times removed) whose parents had migrated to Brighton. Now I am extremely doubtful that this was the case.

Sorry about the ambiguity; I was referring to John Stanton, b1770 Heckington husband of Elizabeth Northern, they had 11 children of whom 10 appear to have survived beyond infancy.

Why not Geoff, however my family are notorious for late marriages; my father 40, Grandfather 67, and numerous others all in this line, and when the marriage is earlier the wife is usually older than her husband. Seems as though it might be genetic; perhaps someone knows a reason for this?

On several occasions lately I have been asked to return to the site in one hour as it is busy. Fair enough; however it occurs to me that as I am retired there are really few restrictions on what time I visit the site. If I knew at what GMT time and on which days it was quietest I could visit it then to the mutual advantage of myself and other users. Can anyone advise me? Thanks
