William Burton 1730 - who are his parents.

[Essnell]

Hi Rootschatters,     
I am following a DNA trail. Yes that's sort of solved,   but I would like to know more about this section please. 

William Burton born 1730, Higham, Norfolk.
His son is probably Peter Burton probably born 1752 and died 1856.

Now I have in my tree  Peter Burton born 1757  and died  1822 and this person married Margaret Ramm in 1773 in Letheringset.  Peter here appears to be the son of Peter Burton 1735-1806.  I am not sure whom he married . I have two possibles -  but that is not the issue.
The generation prior to Peter 1735 is Peter Burton born 1712 and his wife appears to be Martha Allen  but others have Elizabeth Allen. 

So:  could one of you clever people see if you can find Parents for William 1730 and if he did have a son Peter . 

Even though I have traced the DNA person I still have no connection to my Burton line.

Hopefully this might help,

Thanks for any ideas.  Essnell.

His son is probably Peter Burton probably born 1752 and died 1856.

The Peter BURTON who died in 1856 was 54 years old, so born c1802 (Erpingham 4b/36). Buried at St Michael, Plumstead.

Hi Maddys52,

Thank you for the two relies .  They are both very helpful.   I now know his parents.  And thank you for the FreeReg . link.  So looking for a Peter born in 1752, and the marriage of Robert and Ann.   

I am hoping this might provide the connection to those below this point. There are too many to put in here. 

work for the morning.as it's night here,   

Thakyou for your great help.  It's sort of got a little confusing just at this point. 

Essnell.

There is this marriage of a Robert BURTON and Ann HARMER (widow) in Thorpe St Andrew in 1724. A likely possibility.

(This is a transcription of the Parish Register, there are also transcriptions of the Bishops Transcript).

Also a baptism of Anne, daughter of Robert and Anne BURTON at Heigham on 14 May 1732.

The Peter who married Margaret RAMM 30 Jan 1773 was of Cromer
They bapt JOHN there 18 May 1773 and ANN 22 Nov 1775

They may have moved to Holt and bapt ;
ROBERT 6 Jun 1779
WILLIAM    24 Dec 1781

There is a Burial for PETER Burton 24 Feb 1806 Holt;
Entry has age 71, Pauper,  Parents PETER/MARTHA Burton, Mother late Martha Allen* spinster
So that is where others got Martha Allen from.

Another Peter married ELIZABETH Allen 07 May 1732 Blakeney

So many Peters around!

As I dont know your actually confirmed Ancestor c 1800 (which is easier to likely find) then it is all a bit hit and miss to me.

Hi Maddys52  and trish1120, 
Thank you both for these replies.
 
maddys2;     The marriage for Robert Burton and Ann Harmer sounds awfully likely to be the right couple.
 There are other connections to the Thorpe area. This is especially so since their daughter was christened at Heigham.

trish1120:      okay. The definite known ancestor couple are Peter Burton and Margaret Ramm.
    My info for them is  Peter born 1757  died  died 1822    Margaret born 1751  died 1831   

This is all in either Holt or Cromer - the marriage was, as before, Letheringset. 
The children you have are also as I have.

I also have the previous generation as the Peter you found the death for in 1806. He was born in 1735.

I don't know his wife but she may be Ann Cotton.

I have looked at Peter and Martha in the past.. I believe Peter was born in 1712 and Martha in 1713.

If Peter and Martha are correct  I think Peter's father was William Burton. 

I do not think the first two couples are involved as their names have not come up anywhere else.

Getting this part accurate has become important as i am chasing a connection to a William Burton somewhere.

Thank you both so much it is all very helpful.
