My name is Amy Welton. I live in WV, USA. My family as far as I can tell came from this place. The name may have been de Whelton originally. My direct ancestor is John Welton who came to this country in the early 1700s. Any information anyone has concerning the history of either the family or the place Welton would be greatly appreciated.
I remember Paul Cooper, I used to stand at bus stop with him, he had younger siblings Kym and ?????. Nigel Saunders
