Good morning Mary, thank you for your reply.
I am the son of Stanley Northrop and Mary Egerton. I have traced back the Northrop line to a William Northrop born in 1814, he married twice, firstly to a Mary Anne Hayle and then to Sarah Payner in 1843.
I have been unable to find the parents of William, however, I believe it to be a John Northrop born in 1791 who married a Mary Peters but I am unsure and am therefore stuck.
I hope you can help.
many thanks, John.
OK, I think I've got him now in 1841, mistranscribed as Northan, living in Harston with Maryann and two children called James and Sarah Shaw. He's an ag lab, born in county. Age is hard to read, but appears to be 29.
