John Ashton

(John - John - John)
John ASHTON was baptised 18 Jan 1776, Houghton with Wyton, Huntingdonshire.
He was a carpenter.
From Huntingdonshire, he moved to Walthan Abbey in Essex.
Below: Poll Books of Huntingdon, showing John being resident in Essex, yet having freehold property (House & Land) in Houghton.
He was still alive in 1851 when recorded in the census as a widower.
