John Barton 1816, Ann Sancton 1818 - Cockermouth
I am researching my brother-in-law's tree. He is descended from John Barton born ca 1816 who worked as a bleacher & lived mainly in Kirkgate. In 1838 he married Ann Sancton born ca 1818, daughter of Thomas Sancton born ca 1789 a woollen weaver & Ann born ca 1799. Their children were Thomas 1841, George 1844 (who married first Eleanor Armstrong from Carlisle then Matilda Beardsworth from Blackburn), John 1847, Joseph 1850 - 1859, Ann 1853, Elizabeth 1858. These children are taken from censuses so there may have been others who were born & died between. After Ann's death in 1859, John married Sarah Mitchell in 1860 & had more children. I would love any information on John's parents or other forebears, also the Sancton family. Many thanks.
