The King Family Link

John King was born in about 1793 in Stretton, Rutland (1851 census) or Butterwick Fen, Lincolnshire (1881 census)

John King married Elizabeth ?  in ?

Children of John and Elizabeth

1.    Hannah…….born about 1815 in Stretton, Rutland (according to the 1871 census). I believe she may have been born in Castle Bytham, Lincolnshire being baptised on 15^th November, but her mother’s name is down as Battress. Did Battress die and John get remarried to Elizabeth? If this was the case, I did come across that John and Battress had another daughter Mary Ann baptised 22^nd February 1817 in Castle Bytham.   

2.    John Addington…….baptised on 15^th November 1823 in Castle Bytham, Lincolnshire.

*I know Hannah is John and Elizabeth’s daughter because in the 1871 census, John is living with Hannah and her family, and his relationship to the head of household, Henry, is down as father-in-law.

I also came across an entry in the marriage register of Sep. 1840 of a Hannah King who married a Henry Naylor in the district of Oakham (15 849).
