My 6x great grandparents William Allyson and Mary Colton married at Southoe in 1685 and then upped sticks at some point in the next 20 years to Derbyshire and I'm having trouble tracking down their 6 children, some of whom may have been born in Huntingdonshire. From what i can see the Colton name pretty much disappears from Hunts by the start of the 18th century, and I believe that she was the only living child of her branch, given that in her husband's will there are property holdings in Southoe in trust for their eldest son which would only come to him after her death unless he surrendered them to his father's estate. If anyone has anything in strays or coincidentally in other docs I'd be most grateful for the help, they're a bit of a loose end and my luck in tracking them seems to have dried up

A number of Coltons in the 18th century - https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_queries/617cff7d4325a605abd80b83?locale=en but the last one in Southoe was 1702

Some of William and Mary Allison's children listed in Southoe
