His daughter Mary Ann Hortin's birth is on FamilySearch 18 May 1809 Norwich, parents William and Mary.
Other children of the same parents:
James born 29 Apr 1811
Rachel born 12 Jan 1813
Jane born 4 Jan 1815
Martha born 24 Dec 1816 died 10 May 1819 age 2.
William born 7 Apr 1819
Henry born 5 Nov 1823

The birth register images for some of the children (Jane, Martha and Henry) are available at BMD Registers (or the Genealogist).


The marriage could possibly be William Hortin / Mary Standley 2 Dec 1805 Wymondham, Norfolk. Also listed as 10 Nov 1805 at Wymondham and Shottesham St Mary, all on FamilySearch. I'm guessing 10 Nov is the date of the banns and 2 Dec the date of the actual marriage, will see if I can find images. Edit - yes, 2 Dec is the date of the marriage and it was by banns, William of the parish of Shottisham St Mary, Mary of the parish of Wymondham. But if it's your couple, they would have had to become Quakers between then and 1809!

I would think your best bet is to look at one or more of those births on BMD Registers and see what info it gives. They might all be turn out to be on the same image anyway.

Oh, also BMD Registers has a burial for a James Hortin in 1808, father William Hortin. FamilySearch gives the date of burial as 4 Aug 1808, Norwich.

This looks like Mary with two of her children in 1841:

HO107; Piece 787; Book: 5; Civil Parish: Heigham; County: Norfolk; Enumeration District: 12; Folio: 11; Page: 14; Line: 5

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...=&pid=16014249

and in 1851 Mary is living with her eldest son, James:

HO107; Piece: 1811; Folio: 73; Page: 13

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...c=&pid=5106143


Mary Ann's birth is also on BMD registers under Horton:

Horton Mary Ann Father: William Horton 1809 Birth Norfolk RG6_1048

Oooh, and Mary was born Wymondham! That makes that marriage very likely to be the right one, don't you think? She is 73 in 1851 so born about 1777-8. There is a Mary Standley baptised at Wymondham parish church 17 Mar 1778, daughter of William and Mary but there is another one 19 Mar 1781 daughter of John and Mary, so you'll have some checking to do. I know that if she was a Quaker she wouldn't be in the PR's anyway, but if that marriage in 1805 is her then it doesn't look as though she started out as a Quaker.

Sarah - if you can get hold of the Quaker Monthly Meeting records there should be a record of their admission to The Soc of Friends. Or, if the reason they married in the C of E was that only one of them was a Quaker then it's likely around the date of the marriage that member would have been disowned from the society and readmitted later with their spouse.
