Hatton-Jones (General)

A few years ago I discovered the Forest-of-Dean site and posted some old photos there. I was interested in the area because that is where my Jones family originated. In 1901 in Christchurch, Forest-of-Dean, my grandmother Charlotte Emily Jones (daughter of James Jones and Charlotte Vick) married a Thomas Hatton who was not from the area, but from Tunbridge Wells. We have been puzzled about how Thomas Hatton happened to meet my grandmother since travel between towns was not easy in those days. Now, reading these recent posts, I see that there were a great many Hattons also living in the Forest-of-Dean. Perhaps my grandfather Thomas Hatton was visiting a Hatton relative. Thomas Hatton was the son of Lydia Carter and Robert Hatton (1834-1922) who was the son of Lydia Mugliston and Robert Howe Hatton (1811-1894) who was the son of Ann Howe and Thomas Hatton (1795-1847). If any of these Hattons can be linked to other Hattons mentioned in these postings, I would be most interested in learning of the relationship. Thanks.
