The ORTON family (my mothers maternal line), has been traced from Melbourne in Victoria, Australia, back to Durham in England. (Source: marriage Cert.) and then into Ireland. John William ORTON, son of William ORTON and Mary Ann VARTY, was born 1822 in London, England. John William ORTON married Ann TEDD, born 1817 Durham (parents unknown), in Durham, England, in 1846.
John William ORTON and Ann TEDD had six children.
Information is very scratchy and hard to come by on this family, no shipping as yet.
My current ORTON research "Brickwall" is that of my elusive 3 x great grandfather, William ORTON, born c1796. The earliest information that I have on William ORTON who died in 1873 aged 77 years, is his Death record which shows him as being born in Ireland . As yet, no details of his marriage to Mary Ann VARTY.
Their son John William Orton, was born 1822 in London, England. |
