Death Note

Lancashire Death indexes for the years: 1860 - LAWTON, Robert - Died: Aged: 51 @ Knarr Barn, Delph, Saddleworth - Oldham - 1860-DEL/10/79

1851 Census - Widower aged 40 (Pawnbroker) at No.41 Canal Street, Stalybridge. Living with his parents Jonathon & Asenath Lawton and his own daughter Mary (12)

1881 Census - Spinster Daughter, Alice Lawton aged 18 living with Robert

I also obtained the Will of Robert Lawton. It says Will of Robert Lawton Gentleman! He has his brother, James Lawton, and nephew, William Lawton (son of James) as executors. He leaves everything to his daughters, Mary Wood and Alice Lawton. In a Codicil he also names, Robert James Wood, his grandson, and Robert Hitchen as executors. Robert Hitchen was also his nephew (son of Hannah Lawton Hitchen) but is only identified as a house painter of Acres Lane, Stalybridge.

Robert Lawton, born 1810, Manchester, was the son of Jonathan and Asenath Stansfield Lawton.

Robert married Ann Higginbotham August 26, 1838 at St. John's, Manchester (Lancashire BMD). They had a daughter, Mary Lawton, born November 29, 1838, Stalybridge.

Wife Ann probably died in 1841 (I haven't requested a death cert.). I have the following census information for Robert Lawton: - Cheshire Death indexes for the years: 1841 - LAWTON Ann - Died: aged 27 @ Dukinfield, Cheshire - Tameside - 1841-DUK/6/12

1841 UK Census - Aged 30, living Grosvenor Street., Stalybridge, Cheshire, UK, with parents - no daughter. - Daughter, Mary Lawton, age 2, is with Jane Higginbottom, @ Tame Street, Stalybridge, probably her grandmother.

1851 UK Census - Aged 40, living No.41 Canal Street, Stalybridge, Cheshire, UK, widower, with daughter, Mary Lawton, age 12, and parents. Listed again in 1851.

1851 UK Census - Aged 40, living No.51 Cross Leech Street, Stalybridge, Cheshire, UK, widower, with daughter, Mary Lawton, shown as age 18. - This Mary Lawton married Thomas Wood on June 6th, 1859 at St. Michael's Parish Church, Ashton-under-Lyne.

1861 UK Census - Aged 50, a widower, living Hough Hill, Castle Hall, Stalybridge, has nephew, William Lawton, 14, with him. Robert indexed as LaNton. William is indexed Lawton.

Robert Lawton married Nancy Holland Catlow, a widow, on January 28th, 1862. They had a daughter, Alice Lawton, born April 3rd, 1863, Dukinfield.

1871 UK Census - Aged 60, living Lawton's House, Hough Hill, Castle Hall, Stalybridge, Cheshire, UK. Shown as married - no wife. Has daughter, Alice, age 7. Wife Nancy on the 1871 UK Census, age 50, living at No.18 Craig Street., Manchester, Lancashire. Listed as widow.

1881 UK Census - Aged 70, living Lawton Building, Hough Hill, Stalybridge, Cheshire, UK. Shown as married - no wife. Has daughter, Alice age 18. Wife Nancy on the 1881 UK Census, is aged 60, and living at No.3 Alfred St., Droylsden, Cheshire. Listed as married - no husband.

Robert Lawton died May 21, 1882 at Hough Hill, Castle Hall, Stalybridge.

You have Robert Lawton married to Mary Simpson. I guess it's possible, however, I'm inclined to think his wife, Ann, may have died in 1841 in Dukinfield or Stayley. This is just based on age and place. However, I guess the Ann that died in 1838 in Newton could also be the right Ann if Ann died after the birth of Mary on Nov. 29, 1838.

I have additional Lawton information which I will forward to you if you're interested.

In the 1841 Census at Gas Street, Dukinfield is JOHN LAWTON (20) and ROBERT LAWTON (15) living in the household of James Woolley.

1901 Census - Age 4 at Micklehurst, Mossley. Educated at Ellesmere College, Shropshire.

- NO ISSUE FROM THIS MALE

The Mossley and Saddleworth Reporter - 22nd February 1919.

Death of Mr. Rupert LAWTON.

Great sympathy is expressed with Mr and Mrs Carl. A. R. LAWTON, of Tudor House, Micklehurst, in the death of their eldest son, Mr Rupert LAWTON, which took place at 6 p.m. on Tuesday 19th February 1919 at Gillingham, Dorset.

The deceased, who was 22 years of age, was several times rejected from the Army, and went out to France as departmental manager of the Wiltshire United Dairies, at their Normandy Branch. His work was to superintend the manufacturer of dried milk for use of the troops. He had been in delicate health for some time and his death was the result of an attack of pneumonia.

Mr LAWTON was educated at Ellesmere College, Shropshire.

It is just short of two years since Mr and Mrs LAWTON lost their second son, Lance Corporal Philip LAWTON, who was killed in action with the London Scottish Regiment.

When Samuel Lawton died in 1838, his widow Hannah & family moved to the Royal Oak Inn at Broadlands, Sheffield with her three infant children. Apparently went to live with her brothers and sister.

Son of Gervase & Mary Lawton of Mossley - (Not sure if this Samuel is a son of Gervase and Mary of Stalybridge.)

Baptism - [date: 10 AUG 1806] [place: St. George's Parish Church. Mossley.]

- St. George's Church, Mossley - Actual Baptism Register - 10th August 1806 - SAMUEL LAWTON , Son of Gervase Lawton, Clothier, of Stayley Wood, and his wife Mary. - M = (Mottram)

I wonder if this Samuel Lawton could be the son of James Lawton (Farmer) of Bottoms, who died 1846 and mentions Samuel in his Will.

Burial - [date: 21 SEP 1823] [place: St. Anne's Church, Lydgate, Saddleworth.]

- There is some conjecture as to where this Samuel Lawton was born. But in the Delph Independent Baptism Register he is recorded as being the son of Richard and Mary Lawton of Stalybridge. - Whereas in the 1841 Census his palce of birth is recorded a Oldham, Lancashire, but in Census returns thereafter he is recoded as being born in Stalybridge Cheshire, and also Stalybridge, Lancashire. - I need to verify his parentage, but it seems likely that he is the son of Richard & Mary Lawton.

- I think this Samuel Lawton -B: 1821 - Re-Married to Mary Ann Jones in 1859 - two years after the death of his first wife Ann Bradbury at Oxford Street, Satyley. (Follow-up)

I appear to have the wrong Samuel recorded here, as the Samuel who married Mary Moss was born in 1847 (Not 1845)

1861 - Aged 14 (Cotton Piecer) at Scouthead, Saddleworth.
1871 - Aged 24 (Cotton Minder) at Back Road, Austerlands.

Oldham Birth Register Ref: 1845-DEL/5/138

1851 - Aged 5 years at Lane End, Quickedge.

Check this Birth Place as Birth is Registered as Uppermill District. whereas Lydagte was in Delph District.

This could well be the Samuel Lawton at Austerlands

27th May 1919 - Returned to England for six months from Rhode Island USA to visit his sick brother

More recently Mr Harold LAWTON has been connected with the Baltic Mill, of which his cousin, Mr Samuel LAWTON, formerly of Mossley, is the general manager.

Tameside Birth Register Ref: 1858-STY/8/63 - Married a Christine (1st. wife who died in childbirth along with her child)

Specifically, I found two very intriguing items! I have, for some time, been trying to find the marriage date for Samuel Lawton and Mary Ellen Moss (late husband, Harry Hadfield). On your site I found the date and certificate number! What floored me was that they were married in 1918!! This would make Samuel 60 yrs. old and Mary Ellen 58 yrs. old. At first I wondered if it could have been another Samuel and Mary Ellen, but the 'late Hadfield' indicated on my grandmother Christine Lawton's birth certificate would authenticate it. How odd! This would mean that Hubert, Richard and Christine Lawton were all 'legally illegitimate' and all married with families when Samuel and Mary Ellen were married.

The only two reasons I can think of for this late marriage is that it might have been be for the sake of old age pension benefits, or, a bit of interesting family history told to me by my mother - Mary Ellen Moss was married at age 18 to a Harry Hadfield, age 18. They had a child who died shortly after birth and not long afterwards he abandoned her and 'went to sea' (supposedly) never to be heard of again. I am not sure of the laws pertaining to missing spouses in the U.K. in those days, but over here a person is presumed deceased after seven years. This could be another reason for their late marriage. I suppose after so much time had passed, they saw no urgency in getting married and just let it slide. I don't think my mother knew this, as she said they were married a couple of years after they met, but this was certainly never mentioned by my grandmother Christine and I'm sure she must have known something about it.

Another astonishing find on your site was that of a short 'family history' written by Lois Sangster, widow of Richard Lawton, brother to Hubert and Christine. For some years I have been trying to find more information about Richard's family, especially the name of their one child.

When I found this on your site I did a 'double take' as I realized it had to have been Lois who had written about her father, Richard Lawton. I knew that his wife had been a 'Lois Sangster' of Ottawa and that they had had a child. Sadly, Richard (Uncle Dick) died before he knew that Lois was pregnant. He died as a result of bad health caused by being gassed in WW1. I have, in fact, a couple of newspaper clippings he wrote for a British newspaper regarding Ypres.

I 'googled' the name 'Sangster' and came up with a tree. It was amazingly the right one and that is where I found that Richard and Lois Lawton's child was named Bertha. No indication as to whether she is alive and there is no more information. I shall keep searching for leads to see if this branch of the Lawton family survived.

I have more information on the 'Blease' family connection, but that can wait 'till another day! - You must have eye strain by now!

The Lawtons from Saddleworth and elsewhere in the world owe you a huge debt of gratitude, Trevor, for the years of dedication you have given to this tremendous and very successful effort!

Will be looking forward to your thoughts on the above 'revelations' :)

Kindest regards as always,
Christine
