Hi James
Thanks for the reply.I have since done more research and discovered that William was born in Great Paxton, Huntingdonshire in November 1851.He then moved as a young adult to Soothill, Yorkshire where he was married to a Mary Scrimshaw.His parents were Robert Metcalfe and Frances (Fanny) Spraggins who were both originally from Huntingdonshire, namely Southoe and Godmanchester and then later Hitchin, Herts.These parents also had the following children:Edwin, James, Robert, Thomas, Andrew, Fanny Maria and Elizabeth in Hitchin, Herts.Could your Great Habton have been "Great Paxton?"
Regards,
