Dexter and Skevington families of Bozeat, Northants

[coelmar]

Sometime before 1800 I think a Dexter married a Skevington.       About 1791 Dexter Thomas Skevington was born.
The 1841 Bozeat census shows Catherine Dexter living next door to Dexter.     Subsequent census show her as a visitor. 
Anyone know the connection?
Many thanks

... still looking for Catherine.

A Catherine Lawton married a John Dexter 8 May 1799 in Bozeat - I wonder if that is her?

In which case, John Dexter may just be related to Dexter Thomas's mother -- Ann Dexter.

Many thanks Sugarbakers and Pennines - but
 Ann Dexter born 1777
 John Skevington married Ann Dexter 1788
bit young?
  Or have I got lost somewhere?

Well spotted Coelmar -- we need to go further back on the drawing board then!

[sugarbakers]

Sorry, Coelmar, clearly my error.

Ann Skevington bur 1815 Dec 13 Bozeat age 78
... probably Thomas's mother

Ann Skevington bur 1836 Sep 20 Bozeat age 64
Thomas Skevington bur 1835 Dec 3 Bozeat age 68
Ann only 16 at marriage, Thomas 21.

So points to Ann Dexter being born about 1772 ...
Ann Dexter d/o Stephen bpt 1772 Nov 3 Northampton All Saints


Catharine Dexter bur 1855 Jun 24 Bozeat age 78
... born about 1777 ... no bpts for that name, none either for Catharine Lawton.
