Hi,

The family I am looking for is:

Thomas Poynton abt. 1813

I think they were living in or near Ashby de la Zouch, that is where the children's births were registered.

Mike,

Thank you so much for the wonderful information. I really appreciate it. I did not know about the older daughter as she was not listed on the 1851 census with the family in Measham. And the listings of the all the others gives me more info to search for more about this family. I did not know who Thomas' parents were or anything about him other than what I've gotten from later censuses.

You posted the burials while I was typing this. Thank you for that too. I think that may help with what happened to some of the children I had for this couple.

Thank you again for your help,
Amy

Hi Amy
Have just visited this forum and found your posting. You may well have done more research since you posted this but it looks as if we are related. Thomas Poynton (baptised 16 Aug 1812 St.Helen's Ashby) and Hannah Banton of Melbourne in Derbyshire, who married on 21 October 1835, were my great great grandparents. I descend from their son George.

Thomas was the son of Thomas Pointon (bap 3 Jun 1781) and Sarah Smith, who were married in St.Helen's Ashby on 20 October 1806. Their children were:
William bap 18 Mar 1810
Thomas bap 16 Aug 1812
John bap 14 Mar 1815 bur 21 Mar 1815
John bap 5 Apr 1816
Robert 1 Nov 1818
James bap 19 Aug 1821

At their marriage Thomas Pointon signed with a cross but Sarah Smith signed her name. She obviously taught her sons to read and write. Thomas died on 20 Jan 1861 of gangrene after the loss of a leg, aged 79, and Sarah continued to live with her second son Thomas at Mill Bank in Ashby until her death in 1863. It is interesting that Hannah Banton was illiterate and that in the next generation only the sons of Thomas and Hannah learned to write. Their daughter Sarah signed Hannah's death certificate in 1887 with her mark. I have more on this family if your are interested.

Sue,

I am so excited to hear from you! I haven't had much time to work on genealogy lately so this is a wonderful surprise to finally "meet" someone from this part of my family. I would love to exchange information with you.

Most of the information I have on this family is what I have found through the census and familysearch.org so many of the pieces are still missing.

I am descended through Thomas and Hannah's daughter Hannah. She married John Sanders and they had 7 children (that I know of). Their daughter Florence Hannah Sanders is my great-grandmother. Florence was married to Albert William Rayner and they came to the United States in 1905 with their 2 sons. John and Hannah followed suit around 1913 (according to the 1920 U.S. census), I still haven't found them on a passenger list. Their daughter Laura also came in 1920.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

Great Amy, sounds as if we can exchange information. I will send you a private message

I read these postings with interest and wondered if anyone is able to help.  My g.g. grandfather was William Felix Poynton, born in 1822 to Thomas Poynton (Pointon) and his wife, Mary.  William F was born in Athlone, Ireland, while Thomas was stationed there with the King's Dragoon Guards.  Thomas was born in Ashby de la Zouch in 1787.  I am waiting on his service records to see what information they give me.  Current research indicates that Thomas was the son of Thomas Poynton (b. 1754) and Elisabeth Chaplain (b. 1754), however I am having difficulty getting further information.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
