KINSON OF
DONCASTER
The
spelling of the surname of this family varies. For example, the 1649 will of William
uses the spelling Kingstone, but his burial entry in the Doncaster parish
registers uses Kinson. The latter form is more typical in the period covered
here.
William’s
will names “Anthony Kingstone my eldest sonne”. No
baptism was located for Anthony at Doncaster, but the registers of Kirkburton show that Anthony, son of William Kynson, was baptised in 1605. No further record of Anthony
or other children of William are found at Kirkburton,
so it appears that this is the family that later lived in Doncaster. William “Kingstone”
and Margaret Noble had been married at Kirkburton in
1604.
