The surname Hinton can come  from any of the many places of the same name, which mean either “high settlement” or “monastery settlement”, depending on their etymology.   The surname is relatively uncommon in the northern counties of England, and was introduced into Cheshire by a younger branch of the Hinton family of Hinton near Whitchurch in Shropshire: a William Hinton from this family purchased Rushton Hall and the manors of Tarporley, Eaton and Rushton from Sir Giles Capell in 1547-8.  Some of the land was sold and the remainder was inherited by William’s nephew Griffith (or Gruffudd), but subsequently passed out of the family.

Early pedigrees for this family in Cheshire are sketchy (and at times contradictory!), but it seems probable that most or all of the Hintons living in the Tarporley area in the 16th and early 17th century were descendants of William’s brother(s).

The first record of our  own Hinton line is the marriage of Robert Hinton to Joan Hough in Tarporley on 4 October 1630.  They had four children, all born in Tarporley:

Robert died before Joan, who was recorded as a widow when she was buried at St Helen’s Church, Tarporley on 31 August 1653.

William Hinton, son of Robert Hinton and Joan Hough, was baptised in St Helen’s Church, Tarporley on 18 December 1636, and later moved the comparatively short distance to Netherton, just outside Frodsham, where he was living when he married Maria Bushell on 3 August 1665 in St Oswald’s Church, Chester.  The couple had five children, all baptised in Frodsham:

John Hinton, oldest son of William Hinton and Maria Bushell, was born in Acton Grange and baptised in St Laurence's Church, Frodsham on 6 December 1665.  He married Sarah Dunbabin in the same church on 9 February 1696.  Sarah was the daughter of John Dunbabin and his wife Alice Dunbabin: she was born in Acton Grange like her husband, and was baptised in All Saints Church, Daresbury on 25 April 1667.  The couple spent all their married life near Daresbury, where their five children were baptised:

John died in Acton Grange at the age of 44, and was buried at All Saints, Daresbury on 13 October 1710.  Sarah did not remarry, and was buried In Daresbury on 28 July 1729.

Mary Hinton (1703) had an illegitimate daughter Betty in 1739, and possibly married William Mason in 1747.

John Hinton, son of John Hinton and Sarah Dunbabin, was born in Higher Walton on 4 November 1701 and baptised in All Saints' Church, Daresbury just over a fortnight later, on 16 November 1701.  He was described as being “of Warrington” when he married Elizabeth Williamson in St Mary’s Church, Lymm on 13 April 1732, so may have been living there at the time.   Elizabeth was baptised in Lymm on 23 September 1706, and was the daughter of John Williamson and his wife Ann Wright. 

John and Elizabeth made their home in Lymm, where at least one branch of the family would remain for the next two hundred years.  They had five children:

John was buried in Lymm on 11 March 1742 and Elizabeth on 1 September 1767.

John Hinton, son of John Hinton and Elizabeth Williamson, was born in Lymm on 7 August 1739, and baptised in St Mary's Church on 2 September 1739.  He probably  married Mary Davis in Weaverham on 26 January 1762 and had a daughter Ann who died at the age of 2 in 1764.  Mary herself was buried in Weaverham on 7 October 1766, and John then married Mary Vernon in Weaverham on 29 November 1767.

John and Mary had either seven or eight children, all born in Lymm:

Although there is no record of Mary's death in Lymm between 1786 and 1791, and no record of another marriage for John, the baptismal record of John's youngest child gives his mother's name as Ann, which is probably an error.  (There was no other man named John Hinton living in Lymm at this time.)  John died in Statham, on the outskirts of Lymm, at the age of 79, and was buried on 2 August 1817.  Mary died in Statham in 1827 aged 81.

Thomas Hinton, youngest son of John Hinton, was born in Lymm on 7 August 1791, and married Miriam Massey at St Mary and All Saints Church, Great Budworth on 28 September 1812.  Miriam was christened in Daresbury on 8 December 1793, and was the daughter of John Massey and his wife Sarah Nicholls.  Thomas worked originally as a labourer, but was described as a carrier when his older children were born.  He and Miriam had eleven children, all born in Statham and christened in Lymm except Ellen, who was christned in Daresbury:

Miriam died of consumption in Lymm on 14 July 1854, while Thomas lived to the age of 78, dying of "senile decay" on 28 July 1869.

William Hinton, oldest child of Thomas Hinton and Miriam Massey, was born in Statham, and christened in Lymm on 31 January 1813. He married a woman named Hannah, and had five children:

Hannah died some time between the birth of her youngest child in 1855 and the 1861 census.  William died in Manchester in 1873.

Ellen Hinton, daughter of Thomas Hinton and Miriam Massey, was born in Statham, but christened in her mother's home viillage of Daresbury on 27 January 1815.  She had an illegitimate son whose father was recorded as Peter Denton:

Ellen married James Birchenall in Lymm on 14 November 1836, and lived in Manchester for some years after the marriage.  James was born in Stockport in about 1787, and must have served in the army at some point, as he is recorded as a Chelsea pensioner (and beer seller!) in 1851.  By 1881, Ellen was widowed and living in Ashton upon Mersey with her unmarried "daughter", Sarah Jane Shaw (who was actually her son's niece by marriage).  Ellen died in Ashton upon Mersey in 1894.

Sophia Hinton, daughter of Thomas Hinton and Miriam Massey, was christened in Lymm on 11 August 1816, and had an illegitimate daughter by Joseph Marsland:

Sophia then married Peter Moores, a rock salt miner, in Witton on 31 October 1836, and had another eight children:

Peter died in Witton in 1888, and Sophia died in Whitegate in 1893.

Anne died in Lymm in 1857, shortly after the birth of her youngest child, and Thomas died in 1870.  The two youngest children then lived with their newly-married brother Peter for a while.

John Hinton, son of Thomas Hinton and Miriam Massey, was born in Statham, and christened in Lymm on 14 September 1828.  He married Mary Brookes in Lymm on 13 August 1855, but the marriage was childless, and she died in 1864.  John then married Sarah Sorton in Manchester Cathedral on 13 July 1867.  Sarah was born in Hulme, Manchester on 23 April 1843, and was the daughter of Richard Sorton and his wife Esther Barlow.

John and Sarah had seven children:

For much of his working life, John was a fustian cutter, like several other members on the Hinton and allied families in and around Lymm: at the time fustian cutting was a thriving local cottage industry.  (Fustian is silk or cotton woven in a way which produces a surface consisting of loops: these were then cut by hand by pieceworkers at home or in small workshops.)  Shortly after his marriage, John is recorded as a horse keeper at Canal Bank, Lymm, but he later returned to fustian cutting.

Fred Hinton is believed to have emigrated to South Africa, and probably left England between 1901-1911.

John died in Lymm on 21 May 1913, and Sarah on 24 October 1931.

Samuel Hinton, son of Thomas Hinton and Miriam Massey, was born in Statham, and christened in Lymm on 16 January 1831.  He was an agricultural labourer, and married a woman named Mary.  They had one daughter:

Mary died shortly after Miriam's birth at the age of 23, and Miriam died before her first birthday.  Samuel then married Martha Starkey in Manchester Cathedral on 20 September 1858.  Martha had an illegitimate daughter, Isabella, born a year earlier, who was strangely christened twice: firstly in 1857 under the name Starkey, and then a second time in 1861 (at the same time as her brothers Thomas and William), when she was given the surname Hinton.  It seems likely, therefore, that Samuel was her true father.  In all, Samuel and Martha had nine children:

Martha died in Thelwall, Cheshire in 1915 and Samuel in 1916.

Alice Hinton, youngest daughter of Thomas Hinton and Miriam Massey, was born in Statham, and christened in Lymm on 8 September 1833.  She married William Miller, a tanyard labourer, in Lymm on 18 February 1855, and the couple had eleven children, all born in Thelwall, Cheshire:

William died in Stretton in 1899.

Peter Aspery, son of Thomas Astbury and Anne Hinton, was christened at Lymm on 7 January 1849.  Both his christening and his civil birth registration were in the name of Astbury, but he used the spelling Aspery at his marriage, and registered his children with this form of the surname.  Peter married Sarah Jane Teer in Manchester Cathedral on 24 October 1870, and although he worked as a fustian cutter in Lymm as a young man, soon after their marriage they moved to Salford, where Peter became a collier.
