William John Hamaton was born on 29th February 1792 to William Hamaton and his wife Elizabeth Dobbs. William was christened on 30th March 1792 at St Michael's Church in Bray, Berkshire. At the same church on 1st May 1817 William married Margaret Randall.
I am unable to find any further information on William and Margaret. However, some time before 1850 William marries Mary Ann Dancer and started up West End Farm in Warfield, Berkshire.
On the 1851 Census both William and Mary Ann appear living at West End Farm in Warfield were William is listed as farming 80 acres and employing 4 labourers.
On 21st July 1856 William took over the licence for the White Hart Public House, High Street, Maidenhead, Berkshire, where they can be found on the 1861 Census. A year later William was to pass away.
On the 1871 Census the widowed Mary Ann has moved to Flackwell Heath, Wycombe to live with her sisters Rosanna and Ann. Five years later Mary Ann was to join her husband in his grave.
