Francis Stanton, Carpenter, was buried March the 4th 1729 [i.e. 4 Mar 1729/30]

This burial has been linked to the Francis Stanton baptised in Hinxworth on the basis that Francis's younger brother Edmund also appears at Abington Pigotts in the 1730s, and both Edmund and Francis's father were carpenters too. Also, despite being the younger brother, it would appear that Edmund inherited their parents' property in Hinxworth, which might suggest that Francis had died. There do not appear to be any other Stantons listed in the Abington Pigotts registers around this time.
