Will information from Michael BROWNING

The Will proved in 1831 for a William WHEATON could belong to this William "It may be significant that his widow (Mary HALLETT) died in October 1823. Perhaps she had not fully dealt with his estate and when she died someone had to take out Letters of Administration to wind up Williams' estate".

Generation No. 3

4. Thomas³ WHEATON (William², William¹)^58,59,60,61 was born Abt. 1774 in Newton Poppleford, Devon^62,63,64, and died 14 November 1851 in 152 High Street, Camden Town, St Pancras, Middlesex Age 77⁶⁵. He married Elizabeth WINSOR⁶⁶ 6 February 1800 in Littleham (Exmouth) Devon⁶⁶. She was born Bet. 1778 - 1787^67,68, and died 7 March 1848 in Admason's Yard, High Street, Camden Town, St Pancras, Middlesex Age 70^69,70.

Notes for Thomas WHEATON:

Addresses

1841 Pleasant Row, Marylebone, St Pancras, Middlesex

I was also given the following address for this Thomas, but now having found the above it is obviously incorrect

1841 Town, Tallerton, Devon with an Elizabeth WHEATON, Age 54, Independent, not born

in Devon

1851 152 Flight Street, Hamstead and Pancras, Middlesex

In 1851 Thomas WHEATON was shows on the census as Father-in-Law, widower. First in the house on the census was Mary Ann PLANT, (see name of person present at death so this is probably a misreading of FLINT) unmarried, daughter, age 17. Was, therefore, Thomas her step-father? Also in the property was Elizabeth CITTERN a niece from Twyford, Buckinghamshire, and a nephew, William ROGERS from Charndon in Buckinghamshire. There was also a servant from the same place.

On the IGI there is the following entry:

WHEATON Mary Ann married Thomas PLANT on the 26 November 1832 at All Souls, St Marylebone, Middlesex. Several members of the family of Thomas and Elizabeth married at this church. This would then suggest that the "daughter" on the 1851 census could have been the daughter of Mary Ann WHEATON and Thomas PLANT. However, a Mary Ann has not yet been found as daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth.

As Mary Ann is shown as "daughter" on the 1851 census it is likely that Elizabeth CITTERN and William ROGERS are the niece and nephew of Mary Ann's father, rather than of Thomas WHEATON. Further research required.
