John Denton of Hardingstone
« on: Tuesday 19 March 19 08:34 GMT (UK) »
Hi!
    Can anyone help with any of the following?

I have a John Denton marrying Jane Sanbroke/Sebroke on 11th October 1636 at Hardingstone. They had the following issue:

Thomas Denton baptised 21st December 1637 Hardingstone
John Denton baptised 18th August 1639 Hardingstone
William Denton baptised 25th March 1641 Hardingstone
Ann Denton baptised 9th July 1643 Hardingstone
Francis Denton baptised 8th December 1644 Hardingstone

There are plenty of Denton people at Hardingstone going back to 1550's however i cannot find a baptism for a John which would fit the marriage?

I believe John Denton may have been buried at Hardingstone on 6th May 1646. His wife Jane was the possible daughter of a Thomas Sebroke and Frances Tharp, baptised at Ivinghoe Buckinghamshire on 8th May 1608 and was buried at Hardingstone as Jane, Widow Denton on 17th February 1695?

John and Janes sons Thomas and Francis were both Shepherds and i think their mother Janes parents were farmers?

Any help with any of the above greatly appreciated! :)

Hello again,

There may not be any in Hardingstone, but there is a John in Great Houghton, the next parish, baptised in 1604 son of George Denton. George left a Will when he died in 1645. And there is a deed in the Record Office which mentions George Denton of Great Houghton (along with a lot of others) for lands in both Great Houghton and Hardingstone, dated 1612 (NPL/241). May not add up on closer inspection, but worth a try.

There are also Dentons in Blisworth (John baptised 1603, son of Edward), and Wills available for them as well.

Haven't got time to have a proper look this morning!
