Stanton Whiting 1723-1754 

I have assumed, rightly or wrongly, that my five greats grandfather, was born about 1723 as he would have been "of full age" when he married Mary Care in Melton on 22nd April 1744. Mary was the daughter of George Care and his wife Mary and was baptised in Melton on 4th February 1725. It is quite possible that William and Mary were forced into marriage as their daughter, Jane had been baptised nearly three months before.
According to the surviving parish records, Stanton and Mary had five children, including my four greats grandfather, William, and they were all baptised in Bramford.

1725-1759             |-Susanna Whiting - baptised 9th January 1753-?
                      

Other than the dates of their baptisms, I have not been able to find any more details on Williams' siblings other than the fact that his brother Stanton became an apprentice wheelwright. The records show that he entered his apprenticeship in January 1773 in Belstead and his master was a Richard Garnham

Stanton senior died in 1754 and was buried on 18th December in Bramford. His wife, Mary, died five years later and was buried in Bramford on 8th December 1759.
