Beaton family of Girton

[MacGrigor]

Hello,

I’m looking for the births of Thomas Beaton and Elizabeth Mason, who married in Girton in 1690. I’m descended from them through their daughter Grace, who was christened in Girton in 1703. The family later moved to Cambridge, although Elizabeth was buried back in Girton with her residence given as Cambridge St. Giles.

I’d appreciate any help!

Hi Adam

There are a few possible births for Elizabeth in the Cambs FHS bap Index, this one stands out, also in the Girton PR Transcriptions [FHS]..

Mason Elizabeth 1664 Girton d/o Edward & Anne

Others around that time frame:
1663 Ely, Holy Trinity & Sawston
1664 Fen Ditton
1772 Whittlesey St Andrew

The one before that is 1650 and after is 1677

Not seeing Thomas Beaton in the Index yet.

Thanks Geof! Do you have the full date for the 1664 Girton date? Any sign of a marriage for the parents?

Excellent! That’s just terrific. Thanks.

I notice the PR has his surname as Beeton at his marriage..

FreeReg has this bap, maybe worth a thought..

It’s certainly possible! I’ll note it down. Thanks.

Do you know what became of Thomas and Elizabeth Beaton/Beeton or Edward and Ann Mason? Or anything further on the Masons/Giffords?
