Parents of Elizabeth Walton ca.1761 - Stanton?

[Emsworthy]

Hello,

I am on the hunt for the parents of Elizabeth Walton, b.ca. 1761 in Suffolk.  I believe she may have been born in Stanton, or the surrounding area. She married Charles Catton (b.1758)  She died in Barningham in 1843.

If anyone can find her parents, I'd be very grateful!

Many thanks,

Emma

Hello Emma

Elizabeth may have been christened at Stanton St John the Baptist on 9 November 1758, when her parents were named as James and Elizabeth. However, a clerical error is suggested by the baptism of Ann, daughter of James and Sarah, in the same church on 2 May 1757 (buried 28 May) and by those of eight children of James and Sarah at Stanton All Saints between 1760 and 1772.

Other records confirm the mistake:

James WALTON married Sarah BAKER of Stanton All Saints at Stanton St John on 11 April 1757

Sarah WALTON (widow of James; late BAKER spinster) was buried at Stanton All Saints on 22 May 1801
