On 27 January, 3 and 10 February 1811 in the parish of Bardney, Lincolnshire, banns of marriage were published for William Overton and Jane Askew, both of the parish, and they were married in the parish by the vicar, John Wray, on 11 February 1811. The marriage was witnessed by John Pask and Benjamin Wheatley.

The baptisms of their children appear in the parish records of Bardney. In the baptism records, William was said to be a carpenter or dealer in wood.

In 1861 in the village and parish of Welton, Lincolnshire, Jane Overton, widow and pauper, was enumerated in the U.K. census in the household of her son-in-law Moses Boulton, with his wife (Jane's daughter) Rebecca Ann and ten children.[2]
