Halton Hall in Essex............. I have a possible rellie who was born there in 1745 and married there in 1766.. ( I feel a connection with the landed gentry coming on ). I have googled it and searched the Essex Archives Online site, but to no avail. I would be grateful for any information about this elusive abode ( and there could be a share of the spoils for anyone with information leading to the restoration of my rightful inheritance ). K

Found this in Buckinghamshire Its not beyond the realms of possibility that boudaries could have changed over the years Halton House is a country house situated in the Chiltern Hills above the village of Halton in Buckinghamshire, England. It is currently used as the main Officers' Mess for RAF Halton.

Hi, Not sure but I believe there is a Holton Hall in Essex

If noone here knows, email Essex County Library Service - theyll tell you one way or the other, and, if it exists, may be able to tell you more... Good Luck! Jacquie

Found this site which is for celebration cakes. It says the pictures were taken at Halton Hall, Halton, Nr. Wendover, Bucks. http://www.traceyscakes(.)co.uk/pages/chocolate/latest_designs.htm remove brackets. It must still exist. Kath. x

Ladies............. my greatest thanks for your replies. Buckinghamshire is worth looking at as a longshot ( we all know how locations get distorted over the years ). So is a possible misspelling. And yes I shall try the Essex RO and/or library. I hope to get there one day within the next two weeks , and I hope to have time to do some look ups if anyone needs one. I'll post something when I know I am going. In the meantime, if anyone stumbles across anything...................... then my offer still holds good. ;) K

Hello Keith, there are a few references on The Times online, to a Hutton Hall in Essex, says it's 3 miles from Brentwood. In 1818 living there was the Forbes family. Not sure if this helps!. Chris :)
