MARRIAGE_2: Joseph Hinscliffe: Holy Trinity, Kings Court (otherwise Christ Church), York Parish Register Transcription with index, 1716-1812; FHL film 0908279. In index this marriage is the only entry for any Hinscliffe.

BURIAL: Holy Trinity, Hull Parish Register; FHL film 1657074. Name spelled Inchcliffe, no spouse mentioned, Pauper

PARENTS: On first glance she appears to be the daughter of George Thornton of Hull, however that Ann died at age 1. Christening record (1796) of Ann's son John reads: "dau of William Thornton deceas'd" This leads us to believe that her father William THORNTON was dead by 1796. Note that there is a Thomas Thornton in the same York parish (Kings Court-Christ Church) who has a son christened in 1787. The record reads "8 May 1787 Thomas Thornton chr s of Thomas Thornton Shoemaker (son of Wm Thornton of St. Michl le Belfrey) by Elizabeth his wife dau of George Dobson of Fulforth basketmaker." Note that this Thomas Thornton is a Shoemaker. Could Thomas Thornton and Ann Thornton be siblings? IGI search does not reveal any Thomas & Ann -children of William Thornton- christenings that clearly fit this scenario, While this relationshiop remains a possibilty, we should not assume that Ann Thornton's father was the William Thornton from St. Michel le Belfrey parish. There were a lot of William Thorntons in Yorkshire and they all seem to have named a daughter Ann!

CHILD 1 Ann INCHCLIFFE
