John Felton, Dec 1857, Bridgnorth 6a 400

From Dawley Magna parish records:
Date Name Parents Residence Occupation
18/4/1813 John John & Ann Horsehay Forgeman
19/2/1815 George John & Suzannah Horsehay Forgeman
6/10/1816 Elizabeth John & Hannah Horsehay Forgeman
13/9/1818 Mark John & Hannah Horsehay Forgeman
6/8/1820 Samuel John & Hannah Horsehay Forgeman
11/8/1822 Ann John & Hannah Dawley Forgeman
19/9/1824 Richard John & Ann Horsehay Forgeman
26/11/1826 William John & Ann Horsehay Forgeman
16/11/1828 Hannah John & Anne Horsehay Forgeman
1/5/1831 Benjamin John & Anne Horsehay Forgeman
21/7/1833 Joseph John & Anne Horsehay Forgeman

The 1861 census entry (William Felton notes) lists both William and Samuel at the same residence in Kingswinford, so this is one family not two.

The ages of Joseph (written Jos with h suspended above/after the s) and Ann match Joseph and Hannah from the Dawley parish register.

From the IGI:
John Felton, 20 Feb 1785, Barrow. Parents: Thomas Felton and Elizabeth
Barrow is only a mile or so away.

Also on the same 1841 page is "Thos Felton" and family. Presumably this is his brother.

Somewhat dubious over John's baptism and parents ... from his age in the 1851 census, he should be born 1786-7.

A better match is:

William Felton = Mary Carr, 28 Dec 1772, Kynnersley
- William, 18 Apr 1773, Kynnersley
- Elizabeth, 1775 - 1778, Kynnersley
- George, 1779, Kynnersley
- Elisabeth, 1781, Kynnersley
* John, 31 Dec 1786, Kynnersley
