That William Laxton looks as though he is NOT a sibling of John
this marriage is showing on ancestry, taking place in Yaxley just prior to the 1851 Census being taken
England, Select Marriages, 1538–1973 about William Laxton
Name: William Laxton
Gender: Male
Marriage Date: 19 Mar 1851
Marriage Place: Yaxley, Huntingdon, England
Father: William Laxton <<<<<<<<<<<<
Spouse: Elizabeth Stanger

and the reverse makes me think that they are lodging with Elizabeth's father in the 1851 ............. with his name being transcribed wrongly

Marriage Place: Yaxley, Huntingdon, England
Father: William Stanger <<<<<<<<<,

yes that made be think twice when I saw that her surname was the same as her husband. I did see the marriage in Coventry... Could
be them, I guess.

it could be them!

I'll do some more digging
EDIT:- ............ Ignore this ................ see posting below!
Incidentally ................... a lot of people use the wife's married name on ancestry trees .............. so it almost always does NOT mean that her maiden name was the same as her husband's :-)

Here are John and Jane in 1841 ..........................
you probably didn't widen the search on his birth year.
Ages on the 1841 Census for people over the age of 15 were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 ......... so he's showing as born in 1821.
Plus the 1841 Census only shows whether someone was born in or out of the county where they were living, or born in Scotland, Ireland or Foreign Parts

According to the 1851 census... John Laxton b. 1815 Winick Hunts married Jane _____ b 1814 Peterborough.
They are found in the 1851 census in Yaxley with some children.
On other sites they have Jane's surname as Laxton (but no proof
she was a Laxton too).. I cannot find their marriage...
First child Mary Jane was born 1841 in Yaxley according to the census.
I cannot find the 1841 census either.
If someone can find a marriage and her last name.. that might
help... as I have a Jane Laxton b. 1815 Paston whose father was Robert who married Alice Little. Thanks in advance to anyone who may offer some suggestions.
