William Langthorn (Langthon-Langthen) circa 1730-1740

[Fitz1]

He married Rachel (Rachell) Tompkins (1740-1773) 12 Oct 1761 in Harlington nr Hillingdon Middlesex (and likely and subsequently Elizabeth Whitmore 7 June 1784 at St Marys Ealing Middlesex.)
I am trying to find a baptism for him. It is thought he was form the Hillingdon or Area Middlesex.
Any assistance would be appreciated

No luck with William so far but this may help others.

As Transcribed but looks like Langthon, at the time of marriage both signed and of the parish.

Wiliam Sanathen     Marriage    1761   Harlington   Rachell

This looks like their eldest son?

Roland Langhton   Baptism   31 Jan 1762   St Peter and St Paul, Harlington, Hillingdon, Middlesex   William,Rachel

Then George 1763, Rosana 1765, Robert 1767, Rachel 1769, there may be others.

2nd marriage

Both were widowed, William signed and it was similar to 1761.

I guess this is the record you have for Rachell.

Rachel Tomkins
Baptism Date:   20 Nov 1740-1741
Baptism Place:   St Peter and St Paul, Harlington, Hillingdon, Middlesex
Father:   James Tomkins
Mother:   Mary Tomkins

These for William?

Wm Langton   Baptism   6 May 1730   St James, Piccadilly (St James, Westminster)   Wm,Mary

William Langton   Baptism   18 May 1735   Saint Giles in the Fields, Saint Giles High Street, Holborn, Camden   Wm,Mary

However I note one tree has his parents as John Langthorn and Mary Shaw but no birth date for William?

The records at Harlington are on Ancestry, I have had a quick scan of baptisms 1730 – 1740 I  do not see William being baptised there.

William Langthorn   Burial   28 Feb 1787   St Peter and St Paul, Harlington, Hillingdon, Middlesex. He is noted as a Labourer but no age recorded.

The problem with all of the above baptism’s is I do not see a link to Williams children’s names, I find this unusual for the period?

Hello Colin (ColC) and hanes teulu

Colin (ColC)
I will cross check the information you have supplied with the dates etc I already have. I also have a Mary baptised in 1772
Agree about the baptisms. And as you say it is unusual for the period.

hanes teulu
Thank you for the baptism date. I will check out the baptism 4 Dec 1737 in Hayes.
Harlington is only about 2 miles from Hayes and Hillingdon is about 3 miles.

Thank you both for the time and trouble you have taken for your replies.

A thought:

ColC stated that William & Rachel had a daughter called Rosana.

I noticed that the William suggested by hanes teulu:

William Langton, bap 4 Dec 1737, son, parents John and Mary, bap. place Hayes

had this sister:

Rosanna Langton, bap 20 Apr 1734.

So I looked at the father, John, and I found this possible baptism for him:

John Lankthorn, bap 8 May 1697, son, parents Rowland and Sarah, bap. place Uxbridge.

This could explain the unusual names.

Well done Queenie, now that's what I call thinking out of the box.

Hello QueenoftheWest (Queenie) and ColC (Colin)
Queenie
I have his father as John Langthen (from the London, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812). Baptism 14 Jan 1697 @ St Mary, Harmondsworth, Hillingdon, Middlesex. (The England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 have this transcribed as John Langthorn via Ancestry).
The name Langthorn has been transcribed over the years in several different spellings, Langthorn (Langthon-Langthen-Langton etc)
There are some unusual names and indeed I will check out the details you have sent to me. Uxbridge is closer to Hillingdon than Hayes is!
Colin
Quite agree with your comments. As I have found out over the years of researching thinking out of the box when researching is a definite requisite

My thanks to you both
