Notes: Research into this part of the family was initially carried out
by Brian Mayes. This was part of the explanation that Brian sent:
"... I can assist you with details of John NEWTON. He was baptised at
Great Cressingham on 1 Dec 1811, the 'baseborn' son of Martha NEWTON.
Martha appears to have had a very interesting career as a mother because apart
from John, she had 7 other children before getting married. They were
baptised in either Great Cressingham or Saham Toney. I have details of
all of their marriages and children. She eventually married the father of
at least the last 5, and probably the first 2 including your John, on 27 Nov
1832 at Saham Toney. She married William FEAKES, a farmer ..... Martha
died in Saham Toney on 9 Dec 1852, aged 72, and William died there on 30 May
1858, aged 75.
... She [Martha] states in one record that she was born at Great Cressingham,
and in another that she was born at Saham Toney. Yet she appears in
neither register. I think, with reasonable grounds, that she was born in
Great Cressingham in 1783, the daughter of Thomas NEWTON and Martha MECK, and
was therefore the sister of my 4 x great-grandfather Robert NEWTON.
Thomas and Martha had 8 children between 1770 and 1789 in Great Cressingham,
but no Martha, and none between 1779 and 1785, so I have assumed that for some
reason her baptism was not recorded. Again I have details of all of their
children and their marriages and children and grandchildren. It has
produced many indivduals straight out of Dickens, e.g. Theophilus GOOCH, Jemima
BILVERSTONE, and Walter KNOOPWOOD, all related to you if you accept the
above."
Martha was intended to be a beneficiary of her husband William's 1848 will, but she died before him. William Feakes' will has rather put paid to the idea that he might have been father to all Martha Newton's children. William left nothing to Martha's first three children, at least two of whom (Harriet and John) were definitely still alive & kicking at nearby Great Cressingham. We may never know the identify of the father of Martha's first three children, Mary, Harriet, and John.....

1841 census of Saham Toney, Norfolk -
aged 55, born Norfolk
1851 census of Saham Toney, Norfolk -
aged 68, born Saham Toney, Norfolk. See Notes (above) for explanation[!]
of birthplace confusion.
[648] Source: Copy of GRO death certificate. For some peculiar reason, Martha is recorded as 'Wife of Thomas Feakes, Farmer' NOT William Feakes, Farmer. The informant was also named as Thomas Feakes, but he could not sign, and made his mark 'X' instead. William Feakes was unable to sign his name on his 1848 will, and was almost certainly still illiterate when his wife Martha died in 1852. However, it does seem surprising that he did not realise that the registrar recorded him as Thomas Feakes!
