Francis (bellowsmaker Redruth) probably husband Prudence Paynter ? widow
Redruth census 1881.
This appears to be the one. But did he return almost immediately? The
shipping date is 13 September 1839 and the family were Francis WILTON
Bellows maker. 30Redruth, wife 27 (unnamed) a sons 7 and 3, daughters 6
months. The 3 and 6 months children are in the group sheet, and with a
marriage in1832 it is possible that the older one was born either in or
out of wedlock. Maybe he was baptised as PAYNTER and this could be why
the PAYNTER is perpetuated as a middle name. Usually it would have been ?
Wilton PAYNTER so upon marriage the PAYNTER gets dropped and the child is
known as WILTON
