The Warburtons of-Tilston (formerly the Shocklach Clan) Last Updated 1st June 2018 ©2018 Ray Warburton PREFACE This clan was formerly the Shocklach clan until it was discovered that two key members of the clan were more probably descended from a family at Tilston. Tilston and Shocklach are neighbouring parishes in the south west corner of Cheshire near the Welsh and Shropshire boarders. A DNA result from the clan is a match for one in the Liverpool and Oldham clan, showing a common ancestor. These two clans now form the West Cheshire Group. The clan also includes the descendants of Thomas Warburton (born 1848), the illegitimate son of Elizabeth, though which of two possible Elizabeths is uncertain. It also includes a second DNA profile with strong Stewart connections. The tree is based on information from Robert Warburton that had been collected by his father and himself over a number of years. Additional information has been provided by Richard Warburton, Diana Corbyn, Hilary Williams, and Paul Straney.

John Warburton. The early parish registers at Tilston do not paint a consistent picture. A John son of John was baptised on 16th March 1683/4. There are two burials which are assumed to be these Johns, in 1723 and 1761. However the pattern of marriages and baptisms is confusing. A Hellen, wife of John was buried in 1715. Three children, father John were baptised between 1712 and 1716. As Hellen died before the last of these was baptised it is assumed she wasn’t the mother of any of them, and therefore probably the wife of John senior. A John married Ann Williams in 1720, a month after the baptism of James son of John. It is therefore possible a third John with an unknown wife was the father of some, if not all the children born between 1712 and 1729, whose father was John. However a more likely explanation is that the John born in 1683 was the father of all the children and died in 1761. He had an unknown first wife (no marriage or burial at Tilston), and married Ann Williams after the birth of their first child. Alternatively Hellen was married to the younger John and the spouse of the older John is unknown. In this scenario the baptism of Elenor was delayed several months, maybe due to the death of her mother. John married Hellen. Hellen died in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1715. She was buried in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 27 Jul 1715. They had the following children: 2 i. John Warburton (1684-1761) ii. Mary Warburton. Mary was born in 1676. She was christened in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 11 Feb 1677. 2 Second Generation 2. John Warburton (John1). John was born in 1684. He was christened in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 16 Mar 1684. John died in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1761. He was buried in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 6 Mar 1761. There are three children of a John baptised between 1712 and 1715. However, these are followed by the death of Hellen, wife of John on 27/7/1715, and of a John on 31/1/1724 (modern date). James is born a month before the marriage of John Warburton and Anne Williams but there is no alternative family at Tilston, the only recent baptism of a John (son of John) being in 1683. John first married Unknown. They had the following children: i. Thomas Warburton. Thomas was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1712. He was christened in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 30 Nov 1712. ii. Ann Warburton. Ann was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1714. She was christened in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 29 Aug 1714. iii. Elenor Warburton. Elenor was born in Tilston, Cheshire, abt 1715. She was christened in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 9 Jan 1716. On 21 May 1720 when John was 36, he second married Anne Williams in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire. They had the following children: 3 i. James Warburton (1720-) 4 ii. Peter Warburton (1722-) iii. Samuel Warburton. Samuel was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1725. He was christened in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 16 Jun 1725. Samuel died in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1726. He was buried in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 26 Jun 1726. 5 iv. Samuel Warburton (1729-1814) 3 Third Generation 3. James Warburton (John2, John1). James was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1720. He was christened in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 29 Apr 1720. The only marriage of a John took place a month after James’s birth, so it is possible he didn’t belong to this family. Child: 6 i. Samuel Warburton (1744-1825) 4. Peter Warburton (John2, John1). Peter was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1722. He was christened in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 21 Oct 1722. Peter was originally reported as the son of Thomas and Christian Brown of Shocklach but Peter's baptism is not recorded at Shocklach. This may have been an assumption because his own children were baptised at Shocklach. However the only recorded that is close in time and place is the one at Tilston. On 29 May 1751 when Peter was 29, he married Sarah Edwards in Shocklach, St Edith, Cheshire. They had the following children: 7 i. Thomas Warburton (1752-) 8 ii. John Warburton (1760-) iii. Peter Warburton. Peter was born in Shocklach, Cheshire, in 1767. He was christened in Shocklach, St Edith, Cheshire, on 22 Mar 1767. iv. Mary Warburton. She was christened in Shocklach, St Edith, Cheshire, on 25 Jul 1754. v. Anne Warburton. She was christened in Shocklach, St Edith, Cheshire, on 2 Oct 1758. 5. Samuel Warburton (John2, John1). Samuel was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1729. He was christened in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 6 Jan 1730. Samuel died in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1814. He was buried in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 23 Nov 1814. Samuel was buried aged 86. On 27 Dec 1751 when Samuel was 22, he first married Eleanor Povey in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire. Eleanor died in 1768. She was buried in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 25 Mar 1768. 4 They had the following children: i. John Warburton. John was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1753. He was christened in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 31 Mar 1753. ii. Thomas Warburton. Thomas was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1755. He was christened in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 30 Dec 1755. iii. William Warburton. William was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1759. He was christened in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 31 Mar 1759. On 30 Sep 1768 when Samuel was 39, he second married Mary Yardley in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire. Mary was born abt 1740. Mary died in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1826. She was buried in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 21 May 1826. This is a likely burial record for Mary. She was aged 86 on her burial record, which woud be about the right age based on the ages of her children. They had the following children: i. Samuel Warburton. Samuel was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1769. He was christened in Tilston, Cheshire, on 28 Aug 1769. ii. Mary Warburton. Mary was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1771. She was christened in Tilston, Cheshire, on 14 Apr 1771. 9 iii. Peter Warburton (1773-1847) iv. Hannah Warburton. Hannah was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1773. She was christened in Tilston, Cheshire, on 4 Apr 1773. It would seem Hannah and Peter were twins. v. Elizabeth Warburton. Elizabeth was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1775. She was christened in Tilston, Cheshire, on 7 May 1775. vi. Sarah Warburton. Sarah was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1777. She was christened in Tilston, Cheshire, on 9 Nov 1777. 5 Fourth Generation 6. Samuel Warburton (James3, John2, John1). Samuel was born in Tilston, Cheshire, in 1744. He was christened in Tilston, St Mary, Cheshire, on 11 Apr 1744. Samuel died in Thornton-le-Moors, Cheshire, in 1825. He was buried in Thormton-le-Moors, St Mary, Cheshire, on 19 Aug 1825. Samuel is the ancestor of my contact Paul Straney. He was 81 on his burial record. On 22 Sep 1773 when Samuel was 29, he married Elizabeth Yewd in Thormton-le-Moors, St Mary, Cheshire. They had one child: i. James Warburton. James’s marriage licence bond dated August 1797 signed by "James Warburton of the Parish of Saint Oswald in the City and Diocese of Chester Taylor and Peter Warburton of Tattenhall in the County and Diocese aforesaid". On 10 Aug 1797 James married Elizabeth Nixon in Chester, St. Oswald, Cheshire. 7. Thomas Warburton (Peter3, John2, John1). Thomas was born in 1752. He was christened in Shocklach, St Edith, Cheshire, on 29 May 1752. The identification of Samuel as the son of Thomas and Margaret is by Diana Corbyn and is based on the fact that both Thomas and Samuel were tailors.
