Ann Orton (maybe): (MFFMM)
Name - "official" name and what they were known as
Ann Orton (possibly) Date and place of birth c. 1784, probably Leicester, Leicestershire Names of parents Possibly John Orton and Rebecca Ross Date and place of baptism - if applicable Possibly St. Margaret's Church, Leicester, 25th April 1784 Details of each of his or her marriages - if any Married Daniel Knight at St. Margaret's Church, Leicester on 9th May 1803 Occupation(s) - if any Not known Addresses where they lived (including county if in UK) - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on (if s/he lived in census times!). 1815: Belgrave Gate, Leicester 1820: Leicester Date, place and cause of death Not known, but probably between 1820 and 1841. Date and place of burial Possible burial: 11 January 1827, St. Margaret's Church, Leicester, Ann Orton, widow. Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable Not known Memorial inscription - if any Not known This is the mother of my GG-grandmother Hannah Knight, born in Leicester c. 1803. Unfortunately Knight is a fairly common name in Leicester. The most likely baptism I've found is a Hannah Knight born on 19/07/1803 and baptised at St. Margaret's Church, Leicester on 25/07/1803, parents Daniel and Ann. Daniel and Ann had several other children baptised at St. Margaret's, the last of whom was baptised in 1820, by which time Daniel had died. I can't be absolutely certain that this is the correct baptism, and I haven't found a likely candidate for Ann in 1841. I don't think the family were well off (Daniel was a bricklayer in 1815), and I haven't found any sign of a will, so I probably won't be able to get any further with this line.

Have you got the names of the witnesses from Daniel and Ann's wedding?

No, I've never found their full marriage details.
The date and place come from the entry in the IGI and Family Search Record Search. That links to the BTs for St. Margaret's, but I've had the microfilm at my local LDS centre, and gone through it with a fine toothcomb without finding anything. The film is awful; partly illegible, and all out of order. 1803 seems to be missing completely, so I don't know how the transcribers found it. Unfortunately the marriage isn't on FreeReg, and the LDS don't seem to have filmed the PRs, but next time I'm in Leicester I'll have a look at them to see if I can find it.
