Thomas son of William Whitton of Bedale, shoemaker and Sarah his wife 6 August 1774 - FHL 1849237In Hird's Annals of Bedale, Robert Hird wrote that when he was a boy (say 1775) William Whitton and his wife Sarah kept the Bakehouse. They "had three sons William, John and Thomas; the latter two when young, and unthinking, before they had seen much of the world or, as I may say, even knew themselves, enlisted for soldiers and were both killed in Germany, fighting against the French revolutionists."
Note: William was a shoemaker not a baker.
With George marrying Mary Loadman in 1768 his birth would be expected to be in the range of 1730 to 1750. Of all the George Whitton's in the Bedale area the only one who lives to maturity appears to be that below. His burial date in 1816 of age 71 also aligns. Thus it is assumed that George Whitton the husband of Mary and Margaret Loadman was born in 1745.
Note below that in Hirds Annals of Bedale this George Whitton was still alive in 1814.

According to George's son, Robert's fourth marriage registration, George was a butcher.
When George and Margaret had Robert they lived at Firby near Bedale. Robert's older brother Thomas's baptism record also has his father as a butcher.
George Whitton a butcher was married to Mary Loadman as per Hird's Annals below.
Marriage: groom's - George Whitton
bride's name: Mary Loadman

Although no record of George's marriage to Margaret can be found it is most likely that George the butcher then married Margaret Loadman in about 1775 (refer to Hird's Annals below) and then had two more sons, Robert and Thomas.
