Looking for Birth Date Welford

[carol46]

Looking for a birth date of a Mary Kingstone. I can find a death date of 1833. Family came from Welford Leicestershire and she was married to a Timothy Belton. And had a daughter called Mary Belton ok. 1793.
Thanks 👍

I see that Timothy & Mary's children, Elizabeth, Anne and Mary, were baptised non-conformist.

There is a baptism for a Mary Kingston, also non-conformist, on 25th February 1763 (she was born 9th April 1762) in Welford. Her parents were Thomas & Elizabeth.

This matches up with the age of the Mary Belton, widow, buried in 1833 (aged 70).

Alternatively, there is another non-conformist baptism for a Mary Kingston in Welford; this one was born 15th July 1757 and baptised 20th November 1757. Her parents were John & Elizabeth.

Thanks for your help.

Looks like both John and Thomas Kingston were both sons of John Kingston, who married Elizabeth Davis on 29th September 1711 in Welford.

Thomas was baptised in 1712, whilst John was baptised in 1725, both in Welford.

A John Kingston Sr. was buried in Welford in 1751; I imagine this is their father. According to the index entry for his will, which was proved the same year, he was a yeoman.

I cannot find a probate entry for John Jr., but there is an entry for a Thomas Kingston, grazier, in 1785. Also an entry for an Elizabeth Kingston, widow, in 1804.
