By SRC - Both parties signed - Witnesses: Giles Murkey & Annie Murkey.

I found this event today, very sad but one for your files.

The Reporter - 5th April 1930 - Baby in drawer - Mother's amazing discovery - parcel covered with postcards.

Seeing a brown papers parcel almost covered by postcards in a drawer, Mrs Clara LAWTON, of Huddersfield Road, Scouthead, discovered on unwrapping the bundle the body of a male child.
The above story was further unfolded at Uppermill on Thursday before the Coroner Mr E. W. NORRIS.
Mrs LAWTON, wife of Mr George S. LAWTON said that on the Friday afternoon she had occasion to go into the drawer of a dresser in a room which had been occupied by her 19 year old daughter, Amy, when she saw a brown paper parcel almost covered with postcards. Out of curiosity she undid one end of it and the saw the head of a child. She gave information to the police.
Her daughter she said ceased work on February 28th because she had downed her warp. She appeared to be all right but pale. All the family had suffered from influenza, and had occupied a single bed in the front room in turn.
Amy, continued witness, went into the room on Sunday, March 2, as influenza seemed to be coming on. She occupied the room for a few days, and then went back to her ordinary sleeping place. On finding the body she questioned Amy, and elicited the baby was born between ten and half past on March 2, and she fixed the time because the church bells were ringing. Witness had seen no signs of the birth, but she suspected her daughter's condition in December last, but could not get her to say anything.
Dr OLIVER said he made a post mortem examination on Wednesday, and the appearances were such that he was satisfied that there had been a separate existence. In his opinion death was due to suffocation and manual strangulation coupled with bleeding from the cord.
The inquest was adjourned until Tuesday next.

*********************
The Reporter - 12th April 1930 - Baby in drawer - Mother's amazing discovery - Scouthead girl's ordeal.

Rummaging in her daughter's drawer amongst some postcards, Mrs Clara LAWTON, of Huddersfield Road, Scouthead, discovered a brown paper parcel. She opened one end and saw the head of a dead baby.
The sequel was heard at the adjourned inquest on Tuesday at Uppermill, when the daughter, Amy LAWTON, aged 19, a woollen weaver, told how the baby was born, and how she had refused an offer of marriage from the father of the child, Donald ASHWORTH, with whom she had kept company.
Born on Sunday.
The girl's story was that the baby was born on Sunday, March 2nd, shortly after 10 o'clock, just as the church bells were ringing. After the birth she lost consciousness, and when she came round she saw the baby on the floor. When she felt strong enough she got up, put it on the bed, and later looked at it. She saw it was dead. She wrapped the body in a parcel and put it into a drawer, being afraid.
She had been keeping company with David ASHWORTH, and had many times been urged to marry. She had refused because she did not wish to leave her father and mother. When she would not marry ASHWORTH advised her to tell her mother of her condition, but she refrained as she felt her mother would urge her to marry.
Witness was most emphatic that she did nothing to the child in the way of squeezing the neck, and never held a hand over its mouth to prevent crying.
Doctor's evidence.
Dr. J. G. OLIVER, who told the Coroner (Mr E. W. NORRIS) at the opening of the inquest, that he was satisfied that there had been a separate existence, and that death was partly due to suffocation and manual strangulation coupled with bleeding from neglect.
Dr OLIVER, questioned by Mr NICHOLSON, solicitor, representing the LAWTON family, replied on Tuesday that the girl Amy, would have had no experience in such matters and in such cases it was easy for something to happen to a child. If she said she did not know what she was doing that would probably describe her position at the time. A fall from bed could have caused the bruises; the signs indicated pressure not a blow. In his opinion there had been manual interference more than neglect. A heavy pile carpet could have caused the suffocation.
Visit to police.
Inspector KAY said on April 1 at 8 p.m. Amy LAWTON visited the police station at Uppermill along with a man, David ASHWORTH, who made a statement in consequence of which he went to Scouthead. He received the child from Mrs LAWTON, Amy being present at the time. He took the body to the Uppermill mortuary.
The coroner: Have you no mortuary at Springhead?.
Witness; No, I had to get permission to bring the body here.
Addressing the jury, the coroner said the points for them to consider were: Was the child born dead, and then, if born alive, had there been criminal negligence intended to do grievous bodily harm. In that case it would under the new act be infanticide, though not murder. The coroner pointed out that by her foolishness in refusing to marry, the girl has caused great trouble to all.
The jury returned a verdict that the child was born alive that there had been neglect at birth, but that death was accidental.

*******************

Amy seems to be the child of George Shaw and Clara (nee WILD) LAWTON.

George Shaw LAWTON is age 27 on the 1901 census and born Saddleworth.

George Shaw LAWTON married Clara WILD, I don't think she is one of mine, but is born Oldham.

George Shaw LAWTON looks to be the son of Samuel and Mary (nee MOSS) LAWTON and was born in 1873 at Saddleworth.

- Son of Gervas Lawton & Alice Wood of Wharmton Bank, Uppermill.

I have no problem with the Gervas (1778) that you mention. He was a son of "my" Gervas and was an uncle of my Great-great-grandmother Alice Lawton, who was born at Quickwood (also known as Burnthill and Highfield) in 1787.

There is strong evidence that all the Burnthill/Highfield/Quickwood Lawtons were descendants of my ancestors Gervas and Alice (married 1762). It seems that "my" Lawtons lived there for at least 26 years, from 1786 to 1812 - They were probably only distantly related to the Lawtons at Shelderslow.

- In listing the children of Gervas Lawton and Alice Wood, who married in 1762, you have two entries for Gervas (Jervis) Lawton, baptised 25 October 1778. There should, of course, be only one entry. In that 1778 entry you have him buried in the following year, 1779, at Burnthill. I think this "death" was abstracted from the IGI and is not to be found in the parish records. In the event, I don't think he died before he had married and had children.

- Problems sorting out 'Which' Gervas or Jervis is 'Which' around this timeframe. - There was also a Jervis, Jarvis, Gervas born about 1788 the son of Thomas Lawton and Betty of Quick Baptised 10 October 1788 at St. George's Mossley.

Death Note

- Cheshire Death indexes for the years: 1870 - LAWTON, Jarvis (Gervas) - Died: aged 70 @ Bottoms, Stayley, Tameside - 1870-STY/9/86

Son of James Lawton (Farmer) of Bottoms, brother of Samuel, James, Luke and Nancy Lawton

Married 'Nancy Ratcliffe or Ratcliffe' of Slaithwaite, Huddersfield, Yorkshire. about 1828-30

Tameside Registrars confirmed that this was Jervis Lawton registered in the ONS Death Index who Died at Mossley Brow, Hartshead, Ashton in the Jan_Mar quarter ot 1839 - He was aged 33 years "I found Jarvis' death entry. He died in Mossley Brow aged 33 but it wasn't a relative that registered his death and because of his age, there is no mention of his father's name. The reference is 1839-HAR/2/246. - Probably buried at St. Georges Churchyard.

This Gervas (Jervis) Lawton married 'Nancy Rawcliffe' at Saddleworth Church in 1828 - Nancy Rawcliffe or Ratcliffe, was born in Marsden, Almundbury, Yorkshire, and both Jervis and Nancy were living at Roughtown when they married. -There may have been three Daughters from the marriage, Sarah, Alice and Elizabeth. - Gervas (Jervis) Lawton died aged 33 years in 1839, and in the 1841 Census, Widow 'Nancy' and two daughters Alice and Elizabeth, are to found living at 'Boultons Yard' in Stalybridge, Chshire, but by the 1851 Census they are now living with 'Nancy's' Brother 'David Ratcliffe' and family, at Grasscroft Street, Castle Hill, Stalybridge. - I have spent considerable time trying to find this 'Nancy Lawton' in the 1861 Census without success and so have decided to discontinue any research into this family group, as there was no Male Issue from the union, so this Branch of the Lawton's becomes extinct with the death of Jervis in 1839. - I have since discovered that this 'Nancy Lawton' Died at Bury, Lancashire in 1873, her burial place as yet unknown.
