Hello Vera, May I join in? -----Original Message-----I have found a christening for a Hannah Worton in Cradley: Sep 28, 1823, Cradley. Parents: John Worton & Hannah. I believe her parents are: John Worton (1792) & Hannah Siddaway, married Feb 25, 1808, Old Swinford but I only show 2 children at this time, both born Old Swinford: John, c. Sep 25, 1814; Charles, c. Apr 6, 1817----- I have a record of a Hannah Worton, born 1823 daughter of John and Hannah Worton, but I wonder if they are same family because I have John born in 1796, estimated from the 1851 census age, where they were living down at Ash Bank. Also I have him married to Hannah Southall on 18 October 1818. A marriage for John at 16 years if age seems a bit young to me, but possible of course (and I might add, the marriage record I am relying has him 26 years old, which is a bit old!). I have John and Hannah with seven children as far as I aware: Elizabeth, Joseph, Hannah, John, Sophia, Phebe and Charles. I think daughter Hannah married Thomas Deeley. Do you have census sightings for your John and Hannah? The Cradley Wortons are a bit of a nightmare to work out and anything you can add to past debates and research would be welcome. My 5 x great grandparents were Richard Bennett and Alice nee Worton, plus I have three Worton/Raybould marriages including Sarah Ann to my great grandfather John Raybould's brother, Alfred. All in Cradley. Nigel Brown ENG-WOR-CRADLEY-L@rootsweb.com
