Information needed Holtons & Brewers

[Barnford]

Hello

It's a bit of a tall order but I am looking for information on the Holton family of Market Deeping and the Brewer family of Langtoft specifically:

birth & death information on William Holton who married Mary Brewer in Langtoft 17/12/1793. They had two children, Joseph b1795 and Mary b1800 in Market Deeping. Mary died in Market Deeping in 1840;

ancestry information on Mary Brewer. She was born 04/04/1762 in Langtoft to a John Brewer and Elizabeth. She had a brother Thomas b1757 and a sister (maybe a twin) Mary b1762.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

i cannot confirm the thomas baptised in 1757 as the name is spelt thomas bruer not brewer his baptism date is 23rd jan 1757 and his parents are john and elizabeth bruer this could be a sibling just a spelling mistake on the part of whoever wrote it or it could be a different family.

That's very informative and helpful, thank you.

It's William Holton who is proving to be more elusive - no sign of a christening or death in Market Deeping even though his children were born there and his wife was buried there.

As for the Brewers - I had a birth date of April 4th and a baptism date of of April 6th for Mary. It is the same baptism date for Sarah. I know this does not necessarily make them birth twins, merely baptism twins. I have made an assumption that Bruer is a phonetic spelling of Brewer especially as the parent names are the same.

John Brewer and the marriages are new to me, thank you.

There is the occasional clutch of Holtons in other parishes (Suttertton for example) but I think my best bet is to find his burial to give me birth clues. I know his last child was born in 1800 and that there is nothing in BMD indices after 1837 so it is probably within that date band.
