Description
Excerpt from The Stockton Family in England and the United States
The Stocktons of Cheshire were undoubtedly a. Very ancient family, and are proved to have been established in the Parish of Malpas, where they were at one time lords of the manor, for at least 400 years prior to the seventeenth century, when the most important branch of the''family still owned lands at Stockton and Keddington, in that parish, other branches being settled in the parishes of Acton and Barrow. The compiler has made what he believes to have been a very thorough investigation of all the sources of information in London, including the wills, etc., of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, besides examining the parish registers, local wills, and records of marriage licenses in Cheshire, and finally, as a last resource, advertising in the news papers for the record of marriage of Richard and Abigail Stock ton, but unfortunately without success, as the marriage probably took place some time between the years 1640 and 1656, during the troublesome times of the Civil War, when the parish regis ters and records of marriage licenses were very much neglected.
