system origin: England-EASy
source film number: 467734Marriage: John Whitton and Jane Pearson of Langthorn 17 May 1696 - FHL 207500
John Whitton and Jane Parison of Langthorn 17 May 1696 - FHL 467734
John Whitton and Jane Robson of Langthorn 17 May 1696 - FHL 1849237There are a number of John Whittons in the Bedale area in the mid 1600s to mid 1700s which makes tracing their ancestry with certainty impossible.
1. Key baptisms of John Whittons that may have made it to maturity are:
6/10/1641 - John son of George
24/6/1666 - John son of John of Great Crakehall
12/10/1670 - John son of Robert junior of Crakehall
17/6/1694 - John son of John of Crakehall
8/5/1698 - John son of John of Crakehall
19/11/1733 - John son of John (the Elder) of Great Crakehall2. There are also six marriages recorded to John Whittons:

12/2/1753 - John (yeoman of Bedale) to Susannah Sothron (of Firby)3. There were name additions and occupations given to some of the John Whittons to help identify the different families:
John - Senior a carpenter
John - Junior a yeoman carpenter
John - The Elder a brewer/victualler
John - The Younger and yeomanIt is possible that some transcribers treated Senior and Elder as the same and Junior and Younger as the same adding to confusion.
