the D in the bryan d adams is for danton
and I am related to all the dantons around margate and ramsgate

I think we have corresponded before if you are Valerie Fairbrass

if so have you located any further strands on the Danton line?

Yes Sussanak Debeake has to be a Huguenot and probably from Sandwich but nothing further

I have seen john danton's headstone in All saints Margate churchyard> have you seen it.

Catherine DANTON born c.1802 Margate, Kent, England

teresapearcy1 — 2009-09-28 15:22:59Z

Catherine DANTON, was born c.1802 Margate, Kent, England, according to the census records from 1841 onwards. She was married to Jospeh Pearcy, presumably sometime before 1834, where or when though?
Catherine & Joseph lived in Mitcham, Surrey from 1841 until their deaths. The children that are on the census records, were born in Mitcham, Surrey, England too.
The birth certificates of a couple of their children, revealed Catherine’s maiden name of DANTON but I would like to find out more of the DANTON family. Catherine was my OH’s Gt Gt Grandmother. Can anybody help please?
Regards...Teresa

Classification: Census
Surnames: Danton
1910 census 7th Ave NYC married 7yrs 1st marriage
Danton, Ferdinand 34 b. NY father French/ mother Iris English Artist Studio
Wife Mary 26 b. NY
Son Sterling age 5 b. NY

This may have not been his first wife after all. The 1900 census has Ferdinand (Jr.) living with his father Ferdinand and mother Elizabeth and his 4 brothers. It states his parents have been married for 24 years and it says that Ferdinand (Jr.) has been married for 2. No wife is listed with the family.It lists the occupation of Artist for Ferdinand Sr. and Jr. as well as Socrates Danton. District 1 enumeration district 577 sheet 9 page 256 A
date: 5 June 1900

I have just found a 2nd enumeration of Ferdinand Danton (Jr.) living in NYC with his wife Mary C. b.1876 NY living with her parents Theodore and Katie Greentree/Greenlie???[difficult to read]. Theodore is a Cooper (b. Germany) and Ferdinand an Artist. No children listed for this 2 year marriage. This might be the same Mary as in the 1910 if the lied about her age and the number of years married???
I think they are living on West 53rd St .District 1 enumeration district 727 sheet 6 page 295 A date:11 june 1900

Hi, I was speaking to my mum the other day, Jean Hearnden (now Coveney) who's father Charley Hearnden's mother was called Elizabeth Ellen. From Goodnestone I believe? We wanted to know more about her father, who I think was William Danton? Do you have any information on this era? Many thanks, Ele.

I got most of my material on this line from a privately printed publication 'Researching roots : Terry family' which is in the Society of Genealogist's library in London. It was written by Jane Wheaton.
I have not been able to produce a Huguenot connection for Danton although Debock/Deboke/Debeak/Debeke is a Huguenot/Walloon surname. Many were to be found in the town of Sandwich, Kent from the 1630s onwards.
William Danton b 1743 is my 5*great grandfather. He and his wife Susanna Debeake had 13 children, the eldest of which, Sarah, is my direct line ancestor.

daviddanton — 2008-10-27 00:23:39Z

I don't have any children listed for William and Susannah so the addition of John is interesting. I only information I have gotten from the net. William Danton was born in 1743 and married Susannah De Beak in St. Mary, Minster, Kent in 1769. William's Father was William Danton and Jane Sithers. William was born in September 1705 in St Lawrence, Ramsgate and died in 1769, Jane Sithers was born 26 September 1708 in St Lawrence, , married 30 September 1734 in St Lawrence and Died in 1782 in St Lawrence Ramsgate. William's Parents were Stephen Danton born in 1665 in Worth, Kent England. and Jane Terry They were married in Ash Kent in 1688. That is as far back as I can go. My father told me that the Danton's were Hugonots from France but I have never been able to make a connection.

I too just caught the story on History Detectives.
Must have been a rerun.
Seems like some of us headed here to see if we could find anything out.
Have you had any luck finding the other brother?

Re: danton family

John_Lutes — 2006-05-07 22:36:40Z

Dear Mr. Grieve,
Today I saw the History Detectives show about your father. It was a very interesting show. I noticed that in the packet of papers you were given the name Attorney Lombardi, Revere, Massachusetts. It looked as though he had prepared the paper that lists your siblings. What connection did Attorney Lombardi have? I am from Revere and I am curious.
Thank you,
John Lutes

@@JANB111@aol.com — 2004-08-29 22:29:13Z

I am not understanding your comment. Is she the mother of the 2 children? Did she birth the children listed in the 1930 census? Or is she the 2nd wife caring for the children of the 1st wife? I know it is possible for a 13 yr old to give birth. Was it a common occurance in those days!

After seeing History Detectives I searched Danton to discover that in June of '04 Pook and Pook Auctioneers sold a Danton painting (his own) for $23.00. I am hoping that George got it. Also, is the brother in San Fransisco still alive? Wonderful show. Best wishes, Vince

Re: ferdinand danton

2003-07-19 05:19:24Z

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. No, I definitely did not mean that I thought Henrietta had children when she was 12 and then got married a few years later. That is definitely not "a common occurrence".

Obviously I can't tell from looking at just the one census entry whether Henrietta is A) the mother of the 2 children and her age is simply miswritten, or B) the young second wife of the head of household and not the mother of either child. But I think it's likely one of these two possibilities, and more probably the latter. And it's that sort of thing that I meant was not uncommon.

I'm sure Mr. Grieve would be able to straighten out what's what; it's his family after all.

Re: ferdinand danton

pdbgunn — 2003-07-19 01:43:10Z

Alternatively, Henrietta is a _second_ wife. That's not at all uncommon.

Re: ferdinand danton

JANICEP — 2003-07-18 23:12:52Z

Looks as though there might be a transcription error on the age of Henrietta, age 22. I can hardly read her age on the genealogy.com image. If she was 22 her son Clifton was born when she was 13.

Ferdinand Denton

2003-07-18 07:23:37Z

Dear George,
I saw the show on PBS concerning your father and was very touched by your story. I did a websearch on ancestry.com and found that there was an entry for Ferdinand Danton in the 1890 New York City Directory.
The listing stated:
" Danton, Ferdinand, artist, h 13 E. 59th "
In addition to listing his occupation as artist, it seems that he was living in a house at 13 East 59th street in New York in 1890.
Best Wishes,
Dee

Re: clifton danton

pdbgunn — 2003-07-18 04:48:23Z

Whoops, I made a typo in my transcription. Clifton should be 9, not 8.

Re: ferdinand danton

pdbgunn — 2003-07-18 04:46:00Z

George,
If I understood the History Detectives segment on your father, then this entry might be worth listing. You've probably already seen it, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

1930 census of Rowayton, Fifth Ward of Norwalk town, Fairfield County, Connecticut, Ennumeration District 1-171, Supervisor's District 4, Sheet 24B

Hope it's useful. All the best...
