Thomas Hull1

#8957, (s 1725 - fr - 1801)
Pedigree

Children of Thomas Hull and Elizabeth (-?-)
  • Mary Hull1 (1755 - )
  • Anne Hull6 (1758 - )
  • Richard Hull7 (1761 - 1761)
  • Henry Hull+8 (1764 - 1848)

Life Events

BirthThomas Hull was born say 1725.
This is an estimate. 
Research Note There are a couple of possibilities for Thomas' origin. There was a baptism for Thomas, son of Robert, in Polesworth in 1724. I have not yet researched Robert's family.
There was also a family in Mancetter. John and Ann Hull had two children, Thomas & John, and a third on the way when John died. Ann applied for administration of his estate in November 1725.
 
MarriageHe married Elizabeth (-?-).
 
Research Note There is a marriage in Mancetter for Thomas Hull and Elizabeth Stretton, both of Mancetter, who were married by license 5 October 1757. Their marital status was not recorded. This is after the baptism of Mary, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth, in 1755 so perhaps Thomas had been previously married. 
(Widowed) Burial.The wife of Thomas Hull of Warton was buried in 1764.2 
Research Note Thos Hull Senr from Warton was buried 26 Nov 1778 so at that time this Thomas would have been junior. This does not necessarily mean father/son, just that there were two men of that name in the parish.3 
WillThomas Hull wrote a will dated 12 Feb 1801. The will is short so I have transcribed it completely, spacing added.
