Hello, I'm a descentant of a James Eaton who was the steward to the Duke of Rutland his son Thomas Eaton was a surgeon with a practice in Grantham he died at Stamford in 1874, a good place to look for the history of Eatons in that area is to visit Knipton church.

Hello, I'm researching Eatons especially the branch around Friskney.
Although Iwas born in Newark I'm not sure where Wilsford is in relationship to Friskney.My grandmother Mary Eaton was born in Scotland but her father was the son of Joseph Eaton born Friskney or at least that is what the 1861 Census states.
I would like to know a little more re your side of the Eatons.
My grandmother had only one brother Charles Edward born Tuxford 1801 and founder of Chas E Eaton's Tobacconist & Newspapers in Grantham.
