HATTON Family - Ruardean (General)

Hi Jim,

There are definitely too many Sarah HATTONS.

1)There is Sarah bap 1799 born to Robert Hatton and Ankarett.
2) There is Sarah bap 1782 born to Thomas Hatton and Mary.
3) There is Sarah married to Richard Hatton.

You believe Sarah (No.1) to be Jane Hatton's mother.

I had Sarah (No 2) originally as my Sarah.

Richard Hatton born 1777 was Sarah (No. 2's) brother and he married Sarah (No.3). It is this Richard and Sarah (No.3) who are the parents of Caroline Hatton (later Lloyd) witness at marriage of Jane Hatton and James Griffiths in 1845. This Richard and Sarah are the family on your 1841 census. I thought Jane Hatton and Caroline Hatton were cousins. This is another reason I believed Sarah (no.2) to be the mother of Jane.

I think it is Sarah (No 2) who is buried 14 June 1851 age 69.

The 5 illegitimate children I refer to are as follows:

Jane Hatton b 1821 (no father mentioned on marriage cert)
James Hatton b 1824 (brother of the above)

From the IGI - Sarah Hatton bap 11 Feb 1810, mother Sarah Hatton, there is a burial a short time later on 14 May 1810, Sarah Hatton child

From parish records:
Burial of John Hatton age 2 on 22 Dec 1814 illeg/bastard/natural son of Sarah
Burial of Richard Hatton age 7 29 April 1827 illeg/bastard/natural son of Sarah Hatton.

I have so far not been able to find a baptism for Jane or James. Jane Hatton was married in a Baptist church so maybe we should look at their records?

Hope this clears up some of the confusion.
