* the word we cannot decipher looks like aBole but it might be a word having a meaning of 'lose or reduce' their proportion of their legacy. Not entirely sure.

Sarah Ann Dalton-1090

30 Jan 2005: According to Eira Makepeace, the following Christening is the right one for Sarah Dalton who married John Nicholson 29 Jul 1862 at St Saviour's, York, Yorkshire, England. She has a copy of the certificate, or at least has seen such a copy, which quite plainly state's that Sara's Father is John Dalton, and not Christopher Dalton. So hence the Christening below is the correct one. It also means that anyone claiming descent from the Weadley and Lownsborough families through Sarah Ann Dalton, have been searching the wrong tree, as have I. Perhaps the Two Dalton lines will come together earlier on in the centuries, we shall see.
A possible Christening alternate to that which I had supposed was right. Need to check up the marriage certificate for Sarah Ann to John Wilkinson.
