Tree Graphic   The "Matthew 1744" Tree   Tree Graphic

This is the tree of many researchers including Diane, Sophie, Peter, Dirk, Margaret, Rita and Don. Many thanks to Sophie for providing the original GEDCOM file and to Diane for her exhaustive research on this line. 

This
Matthew was one of six illegitimate children of Elizabeth Ellerton, who was herself the illegitimate daughter of Matthew Ellerton, but brought up by her uncle Christopher in Scotton. It seems likely that he was born in 1744, as at the time of his burial he was shown as being aged 80. He was baptised in January 1748 - possibly along with his younger brother who died shortly afterwards - and married Hannah Petty, the illegitimate daughter of Dorathy Petty (who later married Thomas Burrel when Hannah was 10 years old - causing some confusion to researchers, as the latter was often referred to as Hannah Burrel by parish clerks).

Note: the details in red are recent additions to the tree based on "circumstantial evidence" - if you can prove/disprove these details please let me know!
