1783 Death of first wife, Ann Smith, 29th April 1783, buried in Ipsden.
1783 Death of son John 2 days later, 1st May 1783, buried in Ipsden.
1784 Married second wife Anne Brown 13th October 1784 in St Nicholas'

source text for definition of a Yeoman)
1786 Rotherfield Greys, Oxfordshire - birth of son Francis, baptised 1786.
1793 St George's, Southwark - Baptism of daughter Mary Ann.
1796 Tabernacle Walk - Baptism of George Thomas.
1800 Tabernacle Walk - death of son Joseph

1808 Matthew Street, Shoreditch - Baptism of son William James.
1813 Burial age 52 in Bunhill Fields, lived Paul Street, Shoreditch at the
time of his death. (Francis died 7 weeks after his father, Jonathan,
perhaps Francis had visited his ailing father and caught the same disease).
It appears that Francis & Ann's son Francis, was injured and hospitalized in
the Chelsea Hospital whilst serving with the 15th Dragoon's.

Francis BASTON
1786 Baptism, St Nicholas, Rotherfield Greys, Oxfordshire.
1809 - 1819 Served with the 15th Royal Hussars.
1810 Married Sarah Brown, St Mary's, Whitechapel, London.
1827 Witness at his brother, John Joseph Baston's wedding, Christ Church,
Blackfriars, London.
1828 Death aged 42, buried Christ Church, Spitalfields, lived in Vine Court,
London.
I found Francis' marriage & burial quite early on in my research and the only
item to tie him to Francis & Ann was as the name of a witness at John Joseph
Baston's wedding. I had found both his marriage in 1810 and his burial, in
1828 aged 42, which gave me his approximate year of birth as 1796, but it
wasn't until 2 years later, after I'd found that his father, Francis' first
wife had died in childbirth and he had remarried in Rotherfield Greys in
1784 that the baptism of Francis in Rotherfield Greys, 1786 came to light
and fitted perfectly with his estimated year of birth from his burial
record, subsequent location of his military record also helped prove the
link.

Mary Ann BASTON
1815 married Thomas Cole at St Giles' Church, Reading.
1827 was witness at the marriage of her brother John to Mary Ann Browne
1841 census, 'guardian' of the orphaned 10 year old Frederick William
Baston,.
1844 married as a widow to John Hunt at St John's Church, Waterloo. I
added Mary as a daughter to Francis & Ann as she indicated on her second
marriage in 1844 that her father was Francis Baston, finding Mary's 1793
baptism in Southwark has since confirmed this. Upon comparing her signature
for the 1844 marriage, it is identical to the Mary Ann Cole witness to the
1827 marriage of John Joseph Baston & Mary Browne. This now explains why
Frederick Baston aged 10 is shown living with a Mary Cole in the 1841
census, she was his aunt, bless her.

288.
Jonathan MAY
Jonathan had 2 sets of possible parents - these are to only 2
John/Jonathan's in Kent born about 1761 (birth year from Jonathan's burial).
1/ John May & Sarah Fisher of Farningham (John's baptism shows him as Jo.
May) - christened John as John in 1761. (further investigations show there
is a John at Farningham who had died before he reached marrying age and
another John at Farningham who went on to marry and have his own family, so
it's not either of these).
2/ John Steevens or May and Mary Whale, shown as "John Stevens or May" on
Jonathan's 1761 baptism record - possibly took the "or May" surname -
investigations as to why have yet proved inconclusive. The original
register shows that John Stevens was actually baptised as Jonathan Stevens.
The same time Jonathan appeared in Chiddingstone, so did a Hannah, who had
a base born child called William baptised in Chiddingstone. It looks as
though Hannah came from Catsfield being baptised in 1778 to William &
Philadelphia May and is a cousin to Jonathan. Jonathan (John) MAY OR
STEVENS-1046 and Hannah MAY-1220 are 1st cousins 1 time removed. Their
common ancestors are William MAY-5977 and Elizabeth BROOKS-5978
Prior to Jonathan May's arrival in Chiddingstone there are no other
records of the May family in Chiddingstone so they must have come from
another village in the area and the only candidates I can find are the
Stevens from Shoreham or the May's from Farningham.
