Alfred Stanton born Donington Lincolnshire

[chiplassie]

I have found a marriage for Alfred Stanton to Tamar Baxter 1865 Spalding.  Alfred's father was Baxter Stanton and Tamar's father was John.  Does anyone have Alfred in their tree?  He was a watchmaker from 1841 onwards. I have Baxter Stanton's family but no son Alfred.
  Alfred was married previously born about 1821.  Just curious about another Stanton Baxter marriage.

Does he also give Baxter Stanton as his father at his first marriage?

Hi CL

I have lots of the Stantons and Baxters in my tree, but not a Tamar Baxter.  However, I do have a Baxter Stanton 1777-1861 who with his wife Lydia Hammond had at least 11 children.  The 9th of these children was an Alfred Stanton born about 1819.  Presumably he is the one as although he would have been 40ish when he married Tamar Baxter, you do state he had been married previously.

I'll try to find Tamar Baxter, unless Redroger finds her before me.

I have a few John Baxter's in my tree but the youngest was born in 1750 so he would be too old to be Tamar Baxter's father. I haven't really followed the Baxter line once it joined the Stantons though.

Lizzie I think you have found him born 1819.  I am not aware of Alfred's first marriage lizdb.
   I just threw this out there in case someone ties in to him or Tamar and it struck a cord as they may be cousins.

There are two Tamar Baxter's on IGI.  One baptised October 1826 and the other baptised May 1831.  The parents on both occasions were John Baxter and Hannah.  I presume the first Tamar must have died.

There is a marriage at Holbeach on 15 May 1820 of a John Baxter to a Hannah White, which sounds about right.  It doesn't help us with the connection to the Stantons, but I'm sure you are correct that they were cousins, or 2nd cousins.

CL - If you are interested, I'll type out the list of Alfred's siblings.

Interestingly on FreeREG, Alfred's age was given as 40 when he married Tamar (I think he knocked a few years off there ) and Tamar was 32 and a spinster.  It states that her father John was a farmer.  It doesn't state he was deceased but on the 1851 census, her mother is shown as a widow and annuitant, whilst on the 1841 she is shown as a farmer, head of household so I guess John had already died by 1841.
