Time to verify the facts:

Thomas Newton definitely married Elizabeth Hutchinson:
https://search.findmypast.co.uk/reco...2F00180169%2F1

It says he was from Braceby (a tiny village) and Thomas son of Thomas and Ann Newton was baptised there in 1772.
He married by Licence at Great Hale in 1793.

Children of Thomas and Elizabeth Newton baptised at Swaton (near Great Hale):

Ann bapt. 13 March 1779 buried 1 Oct 1799 (Ann was the name of Thomas's mother)
Thomas bapt. 5 November 1797 buried 22 January 1798
William bapt. 4 June 1799 buried 19 June 1799
Joseph bapt. 19 June 1800 (mentions mother's maiden name)
Thomas bapt. 24 June 1801 buried 24 November 1802
William bapt. 3 November 1803
Elizabeth bapt. 11 November 1804
Edward bapt. 22 Mar 1807
John bapt. 4 May 1808

Burials in 1810:
Elizabeth Newton 22 August
William Newton 6 September
no ages given for either and no details

So the survivors were Joseph, William (perhaps buried in 1810?), Elizabeth (or perhaps buried in 1810 if it wasn't her mother), Edward and John.

If both children called Thomas died, who on earth is "Thomas Newton late of Billingborough" named in the 1841 will of Joseph Newton of Islington?

So it looks likely that William on the (1851) census, married to Charlotte, was the one baptised Edward?

The Thomas Newton / Elizabeth Claypole marriage comes up on FMP as 1826 at Dowsby, Lincolnshire. If only my old computer still worked, I could look at it on Lincs to the Past. I see they were hoping to update the site by "summer 2021" to replace Flash, but nothing seems to have happened. Anyway, I'm sure you will be able to view the marriage on FMP and see if there are any clues as to who that Thomas Newton was.

Ah, I then looked it up on FreeREG. Thomas is a bachelor of Billingboro, marriage by licence, witnesses James Lavidge and Mary Caswell. Marriage date 23 May 1826. So there might be a marriage licence allegation etc around somewhere...

Yes, it is listed in the Lincolnshire Marriage Bonds and Allegations on FMP, so you should be able to view that and see what it says about Thomas.

Do you think the John Newton buried May 1810 could have been the John bp in 1808? Infant can mean older than new-born.

Thanks, Kate.

I was trying to see whether there were any children for William Newton, baptised at Braceby in 1774.

I had a tentative marriage for him to Ann Green in 1801 at *****field.

He died in 1812 and was buried in his home parish of Braceby on 12th December 1812.

"On Wednesday se'nnight, of a dropsy, Mr. W. Newton, farmer and grazier, of Pinchbeck, near Spalding.
His remains were taken to his native place, Braceby, for internment on Saturday."


The marriage was by licence and William's parish isn't given.

Probably, did I miss one?
