Biography

Flag of Hertfordshire (1925, adopted by county 2008)
James Colton was born in Sandon, Hertfordshire, England.

James was baptised at Sandon on 28 November 1844. He was the son of James Colton and Elizabeth Barnes.[1]

He married Sarah Ann Trant Peel on 4 June 1863 at Kelshall, Hertfordshire.[2][3]

He married widow Elizabeth Ellen Fisk (nee Plane) in 1889.[4]

Research Notes

There is also an 1849 baptism in Kelshall of a James Colton, parents James and Elizabeth, but abt 1845 and Sandon was used throughout census records. The 1845 baptism notes the child was baptised privately so they may have been rebaptised again in 1849 (to be received into the church).

  • died sometime before 1911 (wife recorded as widow on 1911 census)
