JOHN SUTTON.

I have established that JOHN married SARAH WALTON on 17 August 1783 in Bidston Parish, the event being recorded in the parish register at St Oswolds Church, when SARAH became of age and inherited a small bequest following her father's death. SARAH, the youngest child born to JAMES and MARY WALTON (nee ROBINSON) was christened on 29 December 1762. The witnesses to the marriage are given as Elijah SARRATT and Ann THORN.

JOHN and SARAH's first child, MARIA was born in Grange House, Claughton, near Birkenhead, the WALTON family home. MARIA's christening is recorded in the parish register of St Oswald's Church on 29 February 1784.

All their subsequent children were all baptized in St. Hilary's Church, Wallasey. Evidence gathered from the parish records suggest that the family lived in "The Magazines" area of Liscard.

JOHN SUTTON died on the 14 November 1799 and is buried in graveyard surrounding St. Hilary's Church, Wallasey. The parish records state that JOHN was a fisherman, however, there is no indication of his age at the time of death or the cause of his demise.

I appreciate that JOHN, the fisherman, may remain a mystery wrapped up in a enigma, however, someone, somewhere may have the answer I am desperately seeking.

If you are that person, please contact me I would love to hear from you.
