FAMILY HISTORY, GENEOLOGY, for WHEATON, One Name Society, Wheatons of Huntingdonshire and Cambridgeshire

The Huntingdonshire/Cambridgeshire WHEATONs are the family to which my husband belongs. This particular branch of the WHEATON family began with the marriage of Thomas WHEATON to Ann SPARROW in Hilton, Huntingdonshire in 1726. For several generations the various branches of the family appear to have stayed within the two counties. However, by the mid-nineteenth century different individuals had moved to Newcastle in Northumberland, Manchester and then Liverpool in Lancashire, Fulham and later Wandsworth in London, and in particular several places in Lincolnshire particularly Kettering. More recently descendants of Thomas and Ann are also to be found in Kent, Wiltshire and Hertfordshire as well as Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Austria, America and Canada.

So, your WHEATONs do not live in Huntingdonshire or Cambridgeshire today? And your parents and grandparents did not live within the two counties? But, you never know, their ancestors might be part of this particular WHEATON family! Do please contact me to find out!
