A2A has a listing for Assignment of insurance policy: Thomas Russell of Newton St.Loe, schoolmaster, and Thos.Portus of Bath, tailor, (devisees of Rachel Fear of Weston) to Joseph Wilton of North Stoke, butcher: on house in Weston [?Bath or W.s.M.] 25 June 1783

Could it be your Joseph? I have one or two in my tree who were both butcher and farmer.

that's interesting. I have a couple of butchers and farmers as well. Weston is usually Bath. My father went to Upper Weston school Bath. The farm which is near Landsdowne racecourse later became a horse stud.

Anne,

I have just come across your Wilton listings on this forum. I am descended from the Wiltons but am very distantly related to you. However, I have done quite a bit of research and could probably fill in some of the gaps you might have. Let me konw of you are interested.

Cheers.

Just a quick update I have been in touch with Dohertypm who has found wills for Joseph's father and grandfather and I think can get me back another two generations so this site does work.

This is very interesting stuff. Joseph's father was John and he took out a mortgage to build 5 Royal Crescent Bath which Joseph inherited a share of. Now that is one house I would like to have kept in the family. John left a will naming about 12 children, 3 son-in-laws and leaving £5.00 each to Joseph's two oldest children for mourning (named) - nice man.
