Hi all My g.g.g.grandfather sister, Mary Ovington born Loftus married John SCRAFTON in Loftus in 1795 so I have an interest in SCRAFTON I found in the new database on Ancestry for Masters & Mates certificates a Thomas SCRAFTON born Whitby 2nd Jan 1809 I don't see him being a son to John & Mary as they had a son Thomas in 1801 who then died in 1822 But am interested in who this Thomas may be Another reason for posting is that he does not appear to be in any of the census years so at least he is in the archives The nearest I found on familysearch was :- Thomas Scrafton England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 birth: 02 Jan 1808 christening: 24 Jan 1808 WHITBY,​YORK,​ENGLAND parents: Mary Scrafton name: Thomas Scrafton gender: Male baptism/christening date: 24 Jan 1808 baptism/christening place: WHITBY,YORK,ENGLAND birth date: 02 Jan 1808 mother's name: Mary Scrafton indexing project (batch) number: C00774-4 system origin: England-ODM source film number: 919084 -- Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)
