>William INKSON, b: ABT 1756 family group

William, 'son of George and Alice Inkson', was baptised on 29 Jan 1756 in St Nicholas' so was probably born that month but might have been born earlier. His father George was a butcher and he was too because, when he was buried, he was described as a butcher of King Street [no age given]. The burial was on 14 Jul 1813 at St Margaret's.

Elizabeth, 'daughter of Robert and Mary Moltbe' was baptised on 15 Dec 1756 in All Saints. We know the maiden name of her mother from he parents marriage record. Elizabeth was buried, widow of the High Street aged 77, on 18 May 1829 at St Margaret's.

It is uncertain what happened to Eleanor. It is more than likely that she was the Eleanor, 'daughter of William Inkson', who was buried buried at All Saints, Kings Lynn on 29 Jan 1781 Eleanor. However, an Eleanor Inkson, spinster, married Joseph Bell, bachelor, - both of this parish - on 29 Feb 1804 at St Nicholas' and another Eleanor Inkson, spinster, married John Hodgkinson, bachelor, - both of this parish - on 04 Dec 1814 at St Nicholas', Kings Lynn, Norfolk. The first marriage was witnessed by George and Susan Inkson and one of the witnesses of the second was a George !nkson. One of the two was presumably William's sister Eleanor [b. ABT 1763] but who was the other? We are not aware of another Eleanor at this stage.

We know Mary's date of birth because it is on her baptism certificate.
The working assumption at this stage is that this is the Mary that married James Armes on 8 Nov 1805 in St Nicholas'. One of the witnesses was a William Inkson, presumably her father.

We know William's date of birth because it is on his baptism certificate. He was buried at St Nicholas' on 20 September 1786

We know Lucy's date of birth because it is on her baptism certificate. She was baptised with her two brothers below on 10 Feb 1790.
The working assumption at this stage is that this is the Lucy that married Thomas Whitby on 6 Nov 1814 in St Margaret's. One of the witnesses was a George Inkson.

We know William's date of birth because it is on his baptism certificate. He was buried, aged 21, at St Nicholas' on 7 July 1809.

We know Thomas' date of birth because it is on his baptism certificate. He was buried, at St Nicholas' on 19 May 1801.

We don't know Henry's date of birth : he was baptised in St Nicolas' [on 27 November 1800] rather than St Margaret's and it was not the habit to record DoB at the chapel.
The big question is whether this is the Henry who became a book binder in Kings Lynn. That Henry married in 1837 and only died in 1899 when this Henry would have been 99 years old.
