Joseph CAWTHORN & Hannah WALTON

 
        Joseph CAWTHORN, the 5th child and 2nd son of Joseph & Martha, was baptised at St Edmund's
        Church, Emneth, on 1 April 1808.  
  
        But where he met and married Hannah WALTON of "Marson" in Bedfordshire, I have yet to find out!
        But it would have been in about 1832/33 as their 1st child, William was born in 1834.

        The children of Joseph & Hannah are:

        My thanks to John Contratto in California for this information very early on in my research [April 2000]; 
        it was this information that led me to consult the Emneth Parish Registers.

*******************************************
        In White's 1854 Gazetteer & Directory of Norfolk - Joseph is still at "The Chequers", 
        but he is also the local carrier from Upwell to Wisbech on Tues, Thurs & Sat. 
 
*******************************************
        Hannah died 8 February 1884 and was buried at St Botolph's, Tottenhill, nr Downham Market, Norfolk 
        on 12 February 1884.
   
        Joseph died 8 May 1886 and was buried with Hannah at St Botolph's on 11 May 1886.

        Finding where Joseph & Hannah were buried took some doing, as they weren't at Christchurch or at 
        Upwell St Peter's where I thought they should be.   But when I got Joseph's death certificate and 
        saw that he'd died at Tottenhill at the home of his grand daughter, Hannah Ann FRANKLIN 
        and that she'd registered his death, was when I first thought of looking at Tottenhill for their 
        headstone.
        In June 2001, on a glorious sunny day, just as my father & I were on the point of leaving St Botolph's 
        after a fruitless search, the sun went behind a cloud, and there in front of me was Joseph & Hannah's 
        headstone.
