- NO ISSUE FROM THIS JOHN LAWTON - All children died in infancy - Wife Nancy died of Childbirth complications

Hi Trevor,

John Lawton, born 1819, died Nov. 9, 1858, at (no number given) Stamford Street., Stayley, age 40, grocer, of "Epileptic Fits, Certified". Reported by (Brother) Robert Lawton, Hough Hill, Stalybridge. I don't know if he was an epileptic or just suffered a seizure because of high fever or another medical reason. (Is there a difference between Stayley and Stalybridge? That's the way it is on the death certificate.) - Answer: Stayley, Cheshire = (East Side of River Tame Boundary betwwen Stayley Brook, Micklehurst and at Mottram Road) - Stalybridge, Dukinfield, Cheshire. = (East Side of River Tame) - Stalybridge, Hartshead, Lancashire. = (West Side of River Tame)

John Lawton seems to have been at Cross Leech Street. for several years. He was listed in the 1855 Stalybridge Directory at Cross Leech Street. He's still listed as a grocer on his death certificate. Do you think he would have changed locations or did people live one place and have a business at another? I'm curious because he may have remarried and had more children or he could be with another family member, like a sister. I've tried searching the 1851 and 1861 census for Stamford Street. but haven't really been successful. Do you have any ideas on how to find Stamford Street. in the census? Answer: Source Citation: Class: HO107; Piece: 2237; Folio: 90; Page: 25; Sch: 92; GSU roll: 87249.- Or do you know if there's a street index for those census years?

I was able to find Mary Lawton Bullock because Asenath Stansfield Lawton died at Mary's home in 1853 and I was able to find the address on the 1851 census and then found the marriage of Mary Lawton to Robert Bullock.

I haven't found Edward Lawton either. (Edward Lawton Died: 25th June 1851 aged 22 weeks)

In addition, part of the 1851 census for Stalybridge and Ashton was water damaged and was not transcribed by Ancestry. A group of people using ultra violet light was able to retrieve some of the damaged parts and it was on the Family History website (a pay per view site). They haven't been able to transcribe everything because it's so badly damaged. - Refer: Source Citation: Class: HO107; Piece: 2237; Folio: 90; Page: 25; Sch: 92; GSU roll: 87249.

There is a website at: http://www.ourwardfamily.com/history_of_diseases.htm which provides dates of some of the epidemics in the UK. The period 1848 - 1853 seems to have been cholera epidemics.

I'll let you know if I learn anything new.

Death Note

I received a scan of the death certificate of John Lawton. He died November 9, 1858 at Stamford Street., Stayley. He was a male, age 40, grocer. Died of Epileptic Fits, Certified. Reported by (Brother) Robert Lawton, present at the death, Hough Hill, Stalybridge. It does not say husband/widower of, so no help there. - Answer: John Lawton was a Widower without any living children - His wife and children pre-decesed him.

Aged 31 & Married to wife Elizabeth - Living with parents & siblings @ Side-o'th-Moor, Waterhead.

- Son of George & Mary Lawton - This John Lawton the Son of George & Mary Lawton & Family is to be found at Stonebreaks, Springhead in 1841, although the family are living at Stonebreaks they are all recorded as being born in Mossley, Hartshead, - Father George Lawton is a Woollen Clothier, so it follows that John is found as a Woollen Spinner in most later Census returns. - John is recorded as being 20 years of age in 1841. (Need to follow this lead and verify)

- I have confirmed that this JOHN LAWTON (Woollen Spinner) was the individual who married a MARY ANN RAYNER at Manchester Cathedral College Church in 1843, both were residing at Denton at the time of their Marriage, but moved into Saddleworth for the Birth of their first child Frederick Rayner Lawton in December 1843. (Who Died: 8th February 1844) - A daughter Ann Lawton was also born in Saddleworth in 1845 and it seems that after the Death of their son Frederick Rayner Lawton in 1844, John Lawton then moved his family to Longwood/Lindley near Huddersfield - This JOHN LAWTON was born in Mossley, Lancashire in 1820 - And Baptised @ - The son of George & Mary (Nield) Lawton - He is to found in the 1841 Census @ Stonebreaks, Springhead, Saddleworth, with Parents George & Mary, and elder siblings Sarah (24) & George (22) also youger sister Mary Lawton (17) - In the 1851 Census he is aged 31 Years at No.283 Longwood Gate. Longwood, Golcar, Yorks: and Married to Mary Ann Rayner - aged 27 - with three children - Ann, (6) Caroline, (4) and Thomas (10m).

- His wife Mary Ann Rayner had died in 1859, and by the 1861 Census, we find this John Lawton (41) as a Widower living at Longwood, Huddersfield, now with Four children, Anne (16) - Caroline (14) - George ( 8) and Stanley (6) - (Son Thomas B: 1850 may have died as he is no longer with them)

- By 1871 Census this John Lawton had re-married in 1863 to ANN HAIGH of Lindley, Nr. Huddersfield.and was living in the Township of Lindley, he was now aged 51 and still occupied as a Woollen Spinner. - By 1871 Census - John Lawton was aged 51 and living at Lindley Township, Nr, Huddersfield, with 2nd Wife Ann (Haigh) Lawton and two children, Caroline (24) and George (18), - Son Stanley Lawton was living with Grandparents Frederick & Nancy Rayner at Vatch Mills, Stroud, Gloucestershire and was occupied as a Wool Dyer.

In the 1881 Census - John (61) & Ann (56) are living at No.32 Quarmby Road. Lindley-cum-Quarmby. Yorks. with son's George (28) and Stanley (24) who has returned from Vatch Mills @ Stroud

A JOHN LAWTON aged 68 Died at Huddersfield in the Jul_Sep 1888 - Which equates to the age of the above (Verify)

- I discovered John Lawton's Son Stanley at Vatch Mills, Stroud, Gloucestershire staying with his Grandparents Frederick & Nancy Rayner - It was this John Lawton that married Mary Ann Rayner at Manchester Cathedral in 1843 -

- Verified as the FIRST Son of Hugh Lawton & Mary (Goddard) Lawton of Kershaw Hey Farm, Stayley Wood

1881 - Aged 58 (Baptist Minister) at Heptonstall, Yorks;

- The Mossley and Saddleworth Reporter - Saturday, January 29th, 1916.

Veteran Minister - Death of the Rev. J. LAWTON at the age of 93.

Baptised in the River Tame in 1843.

The veteran Baptist minister, The Rev. John LAWTON, has died at his residence, Nursery Nook, Hebden Bridge, at the age of 93.

He was a man of striking appearance, and active and alert almost up to his death. His sister, Mrs DEARNALEY, lives at Shepherd's Home, Micklehurst, Mossley.

John LAWTON was born in 1822 at Kershaw Hey, on the borders of Stalybridge and Mossley, and as a boy attended the Methodist New Connexion Church and Sunday School at Mossley. He remembered the death of George 1V., which was always recalled by the circumstances of a woman rushing excitedly into the house and saying "The King's dead". At the age of 14 he joined the class meetings, and evinced a deep thirst for knowledge. He combined diligent self-culture with the benefits of a night school. His peace of mind became disturbed through close association with a Roman Catholic workmate of clever debating powers and also through serious differences which rose among the New Connexion Methodists. He became interested in the temperance question, and contributed to a young people's temperance magazine an essay, for which he received a prize from Mr Thomas COOK, the proprietor of the journal, who afterwards promoted the world famous "Cook's Tour's".

The differences among the New Connexion Methodist resulted in the formation of a new church, with a departure from the Methodist order of church government, and the class with which Mr LAWTON was identified joined this new community.

The Rev. Amos DYSON, a Methodist minister, was called to the pastorate, but he changed his views on baptism, and was immersed by Mr SMITH, the general Baptist minister at Stalybridge. Several members of the recently formed church, were also baptised, but soon after Mr Amos DYSON resigned his charge.

The story of Mr LAWTON's baptism is very interesting, as showing his decision of character. Between him and Mr DYSON there was a close friendship, and they agreed to study the Greek New Testament together. At this time young JJOHN LAWTON worked at Messrs. N. BUCKLEY's and Sons', Carrhill Mill, and these early morning studies were from 4 a.m., until just before six. Early one morning whilst at Mr DYSON's house the pupil said that he wished to be immersed. Mr DYSON replied that there would be an opportunity before long. "Why not now?", said the pupil, so they went to a convenient place in the River Tame, near the weir at Roughtown, and the baptism took place on the morning of December 23rd 1843.

In the following year Mr LAWTON joined the Stalybridge Baptist Church. The minister, the Rev. John SUTCLIFFE, showed him great kindness, and desired him to preach in his pulpit. He afterwards urged him to apply for admission to the General Baptist College, then at Leicester, which place he entered as a student in September 1845. In June 1848, he commenced his ministry at Leake and Wimswold, where, with unremitting zeal, he worked for more than nine years.

From 1857 to 1872 Mr LAWTON was at Berkhamsted, and during that time completely wiped off the debt on new chapel and school premises, which were opened in 1865. After a short pastorate at Louth he took the oversight of the church at Heptonstall, Slack, in 1874, with that of the branch churches at Broadstone and Blackdean.

His wife, a sister of the Rev. Amos DYSON, died in 1882, and in that year he re-signed his pastorate. In 1884 he married Miss DWIGHT who died in 1910.

After the death of his second wife he lived in peaceful retirement with two of his daughters, namely Mary Jane Lawton & Eliza Ellen Lawton. His grandson, of Sarah Hannah (Lawton) Marshall the Rev. Charles Bertram MARSHALL, went down in the Royal Edward.

1841 Census - Aged 8 years at Lees, Nr.Oldham, Lancs; with parents George & Elizabeth and siblings Hannah & Susannah

- Son of George Lawton of Micklehurst (Woollen Manufacturer) This JOHN LAWTON appears to have been the main benefactor and heir to father GEORGE LAWTON and probably took over running the family business of George Lawton & Sons (Flannel & Woollen Manufacturers) But on his untimely death in 1863 aged only 28 years, his brother Joseph Fearns Lawton appears to have taken control

Married same day as his sister Sarah Lawton (27/5/1857) @ St. Michaels Parish Church, Ashton-u-Lyne.

Brother of Joseph Fearns & Nathaniel Lawton of Micklehurst (Executors of his Will)

Brother-in-Law of George Andrew (Mill Owner) & Joseph Moxon Clementson. ( Q: Could it be George Andrew of Spring Bank, husband of Amelia Ann Lawton)

In the 1871 Census "Marle House" was occupied by one JOHN EATON of Scotland, aged 32 a Corresponent & Mill Manager, and his wife CATHERINE (21) - So JOHN LAWTON died in 1863 and his family had obviously moved location, but by 1881 Census "Marle House" is once again accupied by the Lawton family in the way of JOSEPH FEARNS LAWTON.

John Lawton's widow Magaret Ann must have re-married to John Hulme Walthow after the death of her first husband as by 1871 Census Margaret herself was deceased after bearing two more children Marian Walthow in 1867 and John Percy Walthow in 1870

- This is the Last Will and Testament of me JOHN LAWTON, of Marle Earth House, Micklehurst, in the Parish of Mottram-in-Longdendale in the County of Chester, Woollen Manufacturer.

I devise all my said estate and bequeath all my personal estate unto my dear wife MARGARET ANN LAWTON absolutely. And I appoint my said Wife and my Father-in-Law GEORGE MAYALL, my Brothers-in-Law GEORGE ANDREW and JOSEPH CLEMENTSON, and my Brothers JOSEPH & NATHANIEL LAWTON, Executors of this my Will. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand the Fifth day of October in the year of our Lord, One thousand eight hundred and sixty three - JOHN LAWTON - Signed by the said JOHN LAWTON the testator as his last Will and Testament in the presence of us present at the same time who at his request and in his presence and in the presence of each other subscribe our names as witnesses - Henry Thomas Darnton, Solicitor, Ashton-under-Lyne.

- Tameside Registrar - 19th May 2009 - I looked some more on Cheshire BMD. I found Percy John - 1863-STY/11/28 and when I looked in the Register, his name had been changed after registration to John Percy, son of John and Margaret Lawton in August 1863. I found his death in November 1863, - 1863-HAR/25/49, his father John had already died by then (in October) and baby John was living at Devonshire House, Mossley. Edmund Lees Mayall registered his death - Margaret's brother by any chance? I hope this clears it up for you.

As you say, my Hannibal Lawton is there, and his son John, my great-great-grandfather - however, your data differs slightly from mine at that point. John Lawton marries Jane Ann (Hindle) and, as my grandmother recollects, had two children - Betty (my grandmother's 'Aunt Betsey') and her father Harry Hargreaves Lawton, who you list under separate parentage. Harry's middle name was Jane Ann's mother's maiden name. Betsey never married, but Harry Hargreaves married an Eleanor Bainbridge and they had two children - Eleanor (my grandmother - still going strong at 96!), and Kathleen.

John Lawton then married ELIZA (Lizzie) Ann Buckley in 1899 in St, George's Church, Mossley, where he is recorded as now being an 'Electric Tram Conductor' and then the couple moved location to live at No.26 Manor Street, Hooley Hill, Audenshaw. - Apparently there were no children born to John & Lizzie, and his wife Lizzie died at Hooley Hill after just two years of Marriage on the 16th January 1902 - This John Lawton then re-married to a MARY ELLEN PARNELL of No.86 Wakefield Road, Stalybridge at Old St. George's Church in Stalybridge, Hartshead on the 4th July 1904 - John Lawton died on the 14th November 1909 at No.86 Wakefield Road.

- I am of the opinion that JOHN LAWTON is the John Balmford Lawton of Marsden - The son of William Lawton (Boatman) and Hannah Balmford, who lived at Waterside Bank in Marsden and then came to live at Mill Street, Mossley in 1841 - William Died in 1849, and in 1851 Hannah (Balmford) Lawton is left a Widow at Mill Straat, and in 1851 her Son John Bamford Lawton is a Cotton Cardroom Hand, - But lodging with the family is an Edward Harris - a Plasterer, from Clithero in Lancashire, who may well have influenced JOHN (Balmford) LAWTON to take up the Trade of Plastering, as in all future Census returns - this John Lawton is occupied as a Plasterer. -

PLEASE NOTE: - As this JOHN LAWTON and wife HANNAH only had issue of one Daughter EMMA LAWTON - this MALE - "LAWTON" line of descent from this JOHN LAWTON becomes EXTINCT - All 'Lawton' descendants hereafter in this family line, are the issue of Emma Lawton's illigitimate Son JOHN LAWTON - who's father remains ' Unknown '
