John Murton 4 X Grandfather

[kiterunner]

Okay, the Banham baptism in 1794 is definitely for a John who was born 21 Nov 1794, it is in the Archdeacon's Transcripts on FamilySearch. Can you say where the name Allen appears later on in your tree, please, Babs, as I'm not sure this is the right baptism for John jr?

Phew right will go have a look now they have gone home and peace reigns for 2 mins

Right for some reason my tree has been doubled up from John I have the one I have and posted the other has

john Murton

Looking at the Peter Murton / Frances Spargo public trees on ancestry, that bit looks unlikely. I'll have a look later and see if I can figure anything out.

I k now I followed one before but then me and Polly got mail on GR from someone who said it went back to a Cornwall line and for us to remove from our trees as she lived down there and had researched extensively

I'm getting confused now - do you know why you have Ann (John jr's wife) down as Ann Turner-Scott? I've only found a few of their children's baptisms online but they all list her just as Ann Turner.

Stephen baptised 27 Feb 1820 Shelfanger All Saints, parents John Murton and Ann Turner, father's occupation labourer
John baptised 28 Apr 1824 Shelfanger Baptist, parents John Murton and Ann Turner
Fisher baptised 16 Oct 1826 Shelfanger Baptist, parents John Murton and Ann Turner.

And Norfolk Baptism Project lists two more baptised at Shelfanger All Saints under the surname Murtin - both baptised 29 Jul 1832, William and Robert, parents John and Ann, but it doesn't give Ann's maiden name on those.

I wonder whether this family is related to John? They are the household just before John and Ann on the 1841 census:
Robert Murton 50 Ag Lab Y
Susan Do 45 Y
Robert Do 12 Y
--
Mary Reeder 25 Y
William Do Y

In case it is any help, this is Robert Murton in 1851 at Street, Shelfanger:
Robert Murton Head Mar 60 Agricultural Labr Shelfanger Norfolk
Susan Do Wife Mar 57 Tackelstone Norfolk.

I have Robert b 1832 living with wife Rebecca at Diss norfolk ???
