| This paper outlines the family of John Dalton, born about 1680. His son George became a brazier in York in 1742 and cast his first bell in 1750. George's son Robert ran the bell foundry after his father's death in 1785. He married and continued to cast bells until about 1793 when he moved to Castle Howard and died in 1824. Many of these Dalton bells have survived, including the ring of six bells at York St. Olave, dated 1789. | |||
| Boots and shoes by Lucy J. Slater
I was surprised to find some Daltons who had lived in my own parish. James Dalton was a boot closer, but his son Frank extended the business to become a high grade boot and shoe maker at 8 Bridge Street, Cambridge. This family is probably related to the Bedfordshire Daltons of the next article.

| Daltons lived in the area of Biggleswade from 1598. The first
documented ones are Matthew of Shillington and his son Matthew of
Silsoe. A third Matthew was also of Silsoe and the three generations
were all shoemakers. Another two generations of shoemakers, Thomas
and his son Thomas Bonnet Dalton bring us to the connection with Cambridge
noted above. Tree 25.3 The first generation at Shillington Tree 25.4 Matthew junior, the second generation at Silsoe Tree 25.5 The family tree of Richard Tree 25.6 The family tree of Richard's brother James Tree 25.7 Matthew and Elizabeth at Flitton Tree 25.8 Thomas and Mary at Biggleswade |
