Roger - My Stanton line includes Ralph born Moreton by Bourne in 1601. I wonder, therefore, if we have the wrong parents for him.
There is a William Stanton who married Margaret Benson in 1600 in South Somercotes. The old IGI has the date as 21 July 1600, but the new site has the date as 21 April 1600. However, what is interesting is that, on the new site, there is a marriage of a Wm Stenton on 17 April 1599 in Moreton by Bourne to an Elizabeth Little.
So perhaps we've been following the wrong Stanton family. William Stanton who married in South Somercotes appears to have had the following children:
John Stanton - Christening: 17.10.1600 South Somercotes, Lincoln
Marie Stainton - Christening: 22.5.1608 South Somercotes, Lincoln
Dorothye Stanton - Christening: 18.11.1601 South Somercotes, Lincoln,
Anne Stanton - Christening: 2.12.1604 South Somercotes, Lincoln
William Stenton appears to have had 8 children, although one of these was born before William married, so may have been the daughter of a different William. All baptised at Moreton by Bourne.
Anne Stenton – christening 18.10.1595 (I think this one is probably the child of a William Stenton who married in Moreton by Bourne in 1593 to an Isabelle Chamberlain. Could be the same man and his first wife died).
Rallfe Stenton – christening 27.11.1601
Elizabeth Stenton – christening 8.10.1604
Katheren Stenton – christening 23.11.1606
Clement Stenton – christening 16.07.1609
Alice Stenton – christening 6.12.1612
Joane Stenton – christening 19.3.1614
Myllicent Stenton – christening 3.05.1618
What do you think?
