Wife of William Millin(g)ton - (Elmley Castle - Worcestershire)
William was my 4x great grandfather (1765-1839). He was married to Anne and they had 9 children in Elmley Castle between 1788 and 1803. I'd like to know 1) who William's parents were and 2)Anne's maiden name and any ancestry. William died of asthma on 20/4/1839. I know nothing at all about Anne except she was married to William (when?). Can anyone help?

Sarah Hutton Death Evesham - (Evesham - Worcestershire)
I am trying to verify whether or not a death of a Sarah Hutton in Evesham during June 1844 is that of Sarah Hutton who was born in 1767 at Hasleor, and also looking for the death of her husband Thomas Hutton. I have a feeling that they both moved from Haselor to Evesham before the 1841 Census of Haselor after their children flew their nests. Sarah would have been around age 77 years if this is the right Sarah Hutton. Any suggestion or help welcomed please.
Thank you,
Leslie
