I have Thomas Whittington 1794 who married Anne Brown 1794 on 5 Jun 1824. This Thomas Whittington died in the Strip & At It mine in January 1863, he was buried at Drybrook 18 Jun 1863.

Thomas Whittington 1794 & Anne Brown 1794 had 5 children and the only reason they are in my Family tree is that their son Joseph Whittington 1831 married my 6th cousin 3 times removed Lydia Mason 1831 on 27 Aug 1854.

I follow siblings and parents of spouses and sometimes go too far, so I can tell you that the parents of Thomas Whittington 1794 were Thomas Whittington 1754 & Eleanor Lawrence 1754 married 30 Nov 1790 6 children. And here is where following these lines pays dividends; Thomas Whittington 1754 & Eleanor Lawrence 1754 also had a son James Whittington 1809 who married Hannah Horsham 1819, they had 4 children including George 1846 who married my 2nd cousin 3 times removed Mirrium Yemm 1850, daughter of Amos Baldwin Yemm 1819 and my 1st cousin 4 times removed Rebecca Marfell 1816 - the Marfell's had to creep in somewhere. An even more remote connection - James Whittington 1809 & Hannah Horsham 1819 also had a daughter Mary Ann Whittington 1854 who married Henry Thompson Fenwick born Co.Durham 1858, he had a brother William Taylor Fenwick born 1861 Co. Durham, but baptised Drybrook 17 Jun 1883 who married 1st cousin 3 times removed Dora Marfell born 18 May 1858.

The parents of Thomas Whittington 1754 who married Eleanor Lawrence 1754 were John Whittington & Elizabeth Jones married 23 Nov 1748 6 children.
