  2. Marriage with parent's consent
  3. 1841 Sun street, St. Benedict, St Mary the Great, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. Living in same property as her sister and brother-in-law, Phoebe/Phebe and John WESSON 1841 December Newmarket Street, St Andrew the Less, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire.
  4. Father - William LAWRENCE - Whitesmith
  5. Present at the death - Sarah TAYLOR of 23 East Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire.
  6. No longer relevant to this chart.
  7. Administration obtained 27th November 2001, so details and implications are to be found in the Addendum I. (Not on the Web, if anybody is interested please contact me by using my Feedback form.
  8. Addresses for Jonathan GUNTON and Mary GUNTON née
    1851 1 Fair Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire Age 47 (HO107/1760 folio 701 pg 4)
    Living with them was a Samuel POWELL (21) Unmarried a Book Binder born London,
    Middlesex. He is described as "son".
    If he was the son of Jonathan GUNTON surely his surname would be GUNTON?
    So, perhaps he is the son of Mary GUNTON née WHEATON
    However, she married as Mary WHEATON, not as Mary POWELL
    She married Jonathan GUNTON in 1828 and Samuel POWELL was born in 1830, after
    her marriage, so why, if a son, was he called POWELL?
    No marriage or death has been found for a Samuel POWELL.
    (This is doubly intriguing as my mother was a POWELL before her marriage!)
    Lodging with them was Peter PICTON (45) Married, Book Binder born Lancashire. No wife
    was living with him.
    1861 Village Street, Swaffham Bulbeck, Cambridgeshire Age 56 (RG9/1033 folio 81 pg 25)
    1871 Longs Farm, Harston(?(, Cambridgeshire RG10/1583 folio 23 pg 36
    1881 High Street, Haslingfield, Chesterton, Cambridgeshire Age 80 (RG11/1662 folio 78 pg 9)
  9. No children have been found on any of the census returns, and there were no GUNTON children born before 1851 in the Cambridge District, so at present it would appear that Jonathan and Mary had no descendants.
  10. It was originally thought that this Mary WHEATON married a Thomas CHARITY. Thomas CHARITY's wife Mary gives her birth place as Ramsey on census returns.
    REASONS WHY WE THINK THIS MARY WHEATON MARRIED JONATHAN GUNTON on the
    15 May 1828 at St Mary the Great, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
    This Mary WHEATON was born in Somersham, Huntingdonshire and this is the village shown on the 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1881 census returns as the place of Mary's birth, not Ramsey as is shown for the wife of Thomas CHARITY. 
    This Mary WHEATON's mother was Ann WHEATON née GUNTON, so there is a link to the name GUNTON.
    Her father, William WHEATON, died in 1780. Of his nine surviving children only two, Thomas and Elizabeth, appear to have remained in Somersham, with four of the children (Joseph, Ann, Mary and Phoebe) and their mother going to live in Cambridge and another brother, Philip living there at least in 1830 when his first child was born. (Of the others, William went to Bluntisham and then Chatteris and Robert went to Thorne in Lincolnshire)
    Joseph WHEATON's second marriage took place in St Mary the Great, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire in 1819, his children was all born there between 1819 and 1832
    Ann WHEATON married in December 1841 in St Andrew the Less, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. At the time of the census she was living with her sister in the parish of St Mary the Great, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. 
    Phoebe WHEATON married on 8th November 1828 and was by 1831 at least (birth of daughter) living Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. Phoebe and her family are included on the 1841 census in the parish of St Mary the Great, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. 
    The witnesses at the Jonathan GUNTON/Mary WHEATON marriage in 1828 at St Mary the Great, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire were Ann WHEATON and Joseph WHEATON, two of the siblings mentioned above. 
    In 1843 their mother, Ann WHEATON née GUNTON, died on the 1st March at 34 New Square, St Andrew the Less, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire Age 74 and was buried in the 5th March 1843 at St John the Baptist, Somersham, Huntingdonshire
    Therefore I believe that this Mary WHEATON married Jonathan GUNTON and not Thomas CHARITY.

The idea of these charts is to give the same information that appears in the research we have done and put together in various books. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
