Thankyou everyone for trying to find Ann and Dad William Witton.

The census above are my tree.
The 1861 census Ann's children were
Emily Jane Gearing B 1863
Ann Theresa B 1866
Maria Charlotte B 1870
John Ann's husband died is 1870.

There is a Jessie on a census that is also Ann's child, and Jessie is under the surname of Gearing and Thackerrey where she took on her stepdads name. I've found Jessies birth from everyone on here Helping me. I'd been looking for Jessie for 2 years. 

The 1871 one census above has Ann and John Gearing children staying with John's dad William Whinrey Gearing . William Whinrey son John died in 1870, as Ann was a widow untill she married James Thackerrey..

A lot of ancestry tree's show a Catherine '' Kitty'' Truelove married a James Macbright then William Witton from Newport Pagnell, but these dates don't add up on my tree?

I feel that Catherine Truelove and James Macbright had a child that then married William Witton, if this is him?

I found these
Ann mackbright b 27 oct 1803 The Great Meeting Independent,Newport Pagnell,Buckingham,England Dad James mum Catherine.

Ann Macbright baptized 25 June 1811 Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, England. dad John mum Catherine

Was Ann B 1803 changed to Catherine and married William Witton?

Also look up a census for 1827 of
Sarah Purdy b 1827 married to Robert Purdy.

Sarah's mum read Catherine Hope
children Ann Hope
and William Hope
is Ann and William Hope Ann and William Witton? and where does the surname Hope fit in.
Catherine Hope reads she is from Pagnell.

Any help sorting this out would be great, and I still can't find where Ann and William where born?

Probably should have read this previous thread before
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=776201.0

However, I am a bit confused as according to reply #8 on that thread the marriage of Ann GEARING to James THACKERREY 24 July 1877 has her father as John WITTON. Do you have Ann's previous marriage details - is her father John or William?

Mary Witton married to Charles Thompson in 1849

Sarah Witton married to Robert Purdy in 1846



Can I just point out that Mary WITTON married John THOMPSON at St Mary, Lambeth in 1849.

I can't see a birth registration for Robert, the son of Robert and Sarah PURD(A)Y born c1848?

Hi Mckha489 i'm trying to add what you've found, and i've got confused.

Charles William Witton married Mary Ann Fleming and had James on the census you've found.
Frederick James married Winifred Glavin, so should James be Frederick James, or is there two children one James and one frederick?

James is James in the two censuses I found him in, but he is Frederick James on his marriage cert. I put the links in the post.
I haven’t found his baptism in India. I THINK that because his father was in the military the birth cert should be available in English records but I can’t remeber off the top of my head just where.

Oh, and James wasn’t the son of Mary Ann Fleming! He was born about 1854 in Bombay, therefore the son of Sarah Turnash. Mary Ann Fleming was the third wife Charles married in 1870.


Added - I’ve just found the actual image for the marriage Charles  to Sarah Anne FURNISH. Turnash is a transcription error
