- Some confusion here between this Thomas Lawton (Iron Moulder) #3240 - This one is definately the Thomas Lawton (Carpenter & Joiner) # 9937 - who married Mary (Mally) Platt, and who's children were Baptised at Bethel Methodist Chapel.

This is not Thomas son of James & Martha as it seems he died in 1791 - Verify and amend.

- Manchester Cathedral - Marriage Register - 1803 - Page: 448 - Record: 24 - 2nd January 1803 - THOMAS LAWTON of this Parish & Town of Manchester (Joiner) and MARY PLATT of Manchester, Spinster - Were Married in this Church by Banns Published - December 5th - 12th and 19th - 1802 - On the Second Day of January 1803 by me: Joseph Brookes - Thomas Lawton made his Mark (X) and Mary Platt signed the register - (No witnesses recorded)

- Son of John Lawton (Clothier ) & Nanny of Edge End.

Baptism - [date: 01 SEP 1782] [place: St. Chad's Parish Church, Uppermill, Saddleworth, Yorkshire.]

- NOTES: -Having searched relentlessly for the Marriage of this Thomas Lawton without sucess - I am now convinced that this THOMAS LAWTON lived in a De Facto relationship with MARY LAWTON from 'Earnshaw Lane Farm' in Stayley Wood.

- FACTS - This Thomas Lawton was Baptised on the 1st of September 1782 - the son of John Lawton and Nanny Taylor of Edge End, Dobcross. His Father John was quite a wealthy individual of the day, owning several cottages and a number of fields / pastures in the area. - I cannot find any record or reference to the Marriage of this Thomas Lawton - which would normally have been around 21 years of age - (in or around 1803) - but the first reference I can find is the Birth of a Son - JOEL LAWTON in 1817 to Mother Mary Lawton - (Thomas Lawton would have been aged 35 years at the time) - This son Joel Lawton died aged 4 months at Edge End, Dobcross, and was buried on the 15th January 1818 in Holy Trinity Churchyard, Dobcross. - Next was the Birth and baptism of another son THOMAS LAWTON - Baptised: 17th March 1819 - (Father Thomas would then be aged 37 years) - Then, in 1823 a Daughter HANNAH LAWTON was Baptised on the 1st June 1823. (Father Thomas would have then been aged 41 years) - Whereas Mother Mary Lawton is recorded as being aged 50 years in the 1841 Census (Born: 1790) - (This age is rounded - so she could be much older)

This THOMAS LAWTON - Died of Liver Disease, at Edge End, Dobcross on the 30th August 1830 aged 48 years - and was Buried in St. Chad's Graveyard on the 2nd September 1830 (Aged 48 years) He apparently died of Liver Disease - Leaving his De Facto Partner MARY LAWTON with Two Children - Thomas aged 11 years and Hannah aged 7 years.- It would follow that a Wife would inherit the Husbands assets, but this obviously did not occur, and MARY LAWTON was forced to move away from Dobcross, and call upon her own LAWTON Family relatives to provide for her welfare. She was forced to return to her birthplace of Earnshaw Farm, Stayley, to live alongside her elder Brother John Lawton & Family -It was there at Earnshaw Lane Farm that her Daughter HANNAH LAWTON Died in 1837 age just 14 years.- Leaving just MARY LAWTON and her Son THOMAS LAWTON to be recorded in the 1814 England Census at "Lane in Stayley".

- I have only found TWO Thomas Lawton's Born & Baptised in 1797-98 - This Thomas (Son of John & Betty Lawton of Clayton's, Saddleworth (Bapt: 4th February 1798) and the Second Thomas Lawton (Son of John & Hannah Lawton of Mottram Parish) (Bapt: 9th September 1798) - Moving on to the 1841 Census - We can find the latter Thomas with wife Mary at Caroline Street, in Stalybridge - But our first Thomas cannot be found with certainty - So we move onto the 1851 England Census returns and find: A Thomas Lawton aged 55 years with wife Mary (54) with Married Son John, his wife Elizabeth and Family living at "Side-o'th-Moor" (Waterhead Mill) Oldham above Town. - (Not this Thomas)

In the 1851 Census we have Thomas Lawton a Widower & Lodger and a "Pie Maker" , living with Anne Hadfield (54) Widow, (B: Longson, Derbyshire),and her Son Joseph Hadfield (15) at Hyde Lane, Hyde, Cheshire also a Mark Elor lodging with the family at Hyde. - By 1861 Census this Thomas Lawton (Now 65 years) Widower and a Cotton Spinner living at Booth Head (Waterhead Mill) with a Anne Hadfield (64) Widow & Housekeeper - (Born @ Longson, Derbyshire) - They have two Boarders living with them: William Lees (53) Iron Moulder from Oldham and Thomas H Milnes (17) HouseJoiner from Marsden, Yorks: - Note: In the 1841 Census at Hyde Lane, Hyde, Cheshire were to be found: James Hadfield (45) Cotton Spinner - Wife: Anne Hadfield (45) Housewife and son Joseph Hadfield aged 5 years - Both James & Anne Hadfield were not born in Cheshire, Obviously James Hadfield must have died (1844 @ Hyde) before 1851 and Thomas Lawton moved into Hyde Lane as a Lodger.

LAWTON Thomas - 75 1877 East Macclesfield Cheshire East EMC/26/63

At the 1841 Census of Dobcross - Thomas Lawton is recorded as 'Innkeeper' with wife and six children at the Swan Inn, living in close proximity next door and next door but one is Joseph & Mary Lawton (Shoemaker) and family, and Jonathon Lawton (70) Woollen Clothier with Mary Buckley (20) Woollen Weaver - In

1859 - Transfered to the 'Kings Head Inn' at Dobcross Square and re-named it to 'The Swan with two Necks'. Licensee from 1859 - 1873
1851 - Aged 46 (Licenced Victualer) at Swan Inn, Dobcross. 1853 - Saddleworth Directory - Innkeeper at Swan-with-two-Necks
1861 - Saddleworth P.O. Directory; Innkeeper, Swan with two Necks,
1861 - Widower, Aged 56 (Innkeeper) at Swan with Two Necks Inn, Dobcross, Saddleworth.

Could well have been more children born in the four year period between 1833 & 1837.

The Swan with Two Necks Inn. Dobcross, Saddleworth.

On the 1st. March 1859 the tenant of the Kings Head Inn, in the Square at Dobcross, John Radciffe, transferred his holdings - the land and the Inn, brewhouse, stable and hay loft, together with brewpan and other fixtures, to Thomas Lawton of Dobcross. Until the January of 1859, Mr. Thomas Lawton had been the licensee of the nearby Swan Inn and when he moved to the Kings Head Inn, he must have brought his old inn sign with him, as the Kings Head became known as "The Swan with Two Necks".

In 1861 Thomas Lawton was a 56 year old widower with three grown-up daughters living with him. His wife Jane (Platt) Lawton having died 2nd January 1861 in her 52nd year. They were still there 10 years later, when the inn began to be listed as 'The Swan with Two Necks and Kings Head', and after Thomas died on 24th April 1873 aged 70, the middle daughter, Sarah Jane Lawton took over the licence. The 1881 Census recorded just Sarah (aged 41) and her younger sister Mary, living there. The Inn continued in it's role as a venue for meetings and in March 1883 it was reported that the Victoria Lodge of the Independent Oddfellows had it's Annual Dinner there.

When Sarah Jane Lawton died on 23rd February 1887, her youngest sister, Emma Derbyshire, took over the license. Emma died 10 years later (17th February 1897) and the Swan with Two Necks and Kings Head, was sold to the Manchester Brewery Company of Ardwick. Under the brewery's ownership the pub was listed simply as the Swan Inn - a smaller sign with a shorter name would have been cheaper for them.

Another brewery company, Bentley & Shaw of Huddersfield, became the owners in 1915, and twelve years later the pub's original name The Kings head, was used in the local directory. The etched 'Kings Head' window at the entrance dates from this time, but why the old name was revived then is a mystery.

The family are buried in Holy Trinity Churchyard at Dobcross. The Memorial Inscription reads:

Josiah Lawton son of / Tomas and Jane Lawton of Dobcross / dies July 10th 1855 aged 18 years. Also Jane Lawton wife of the above named Thomas lawton who died January 2nd 1861 in the 52nd year of her age. Also Thomas Lawton who died April 24th 1875 aged 70. Also Sarah Jane Lawton daughter of the above Thomas & Jane Lawton who died February 23rd 1887 aged 48 years. Also Mary their daughter who died October 26th 1887 aged 47 years. Also Emma Lawton their daughter and wife of George Darbyshire who died February 17th 1897 aged 54 years.

This could well be the Thomas Lawton (#221) illigitimate son of Hannah Lawton of Austerlands - This Thomas Lawton was 11 years of age when his Mother HANNAH LAWTON married James Fairley at St. Michael's Parish Church in Ashton-under-Lyne.

- First Marriage to SARAH BOOTH at Rochdale St. Chad's give Thomas Lawton's Father as: John Lawton (Spinner) - Marriage: 8 Jan 1844 St Chad, Rochdale, Lancs.- Thomas Lawton - (X), Full, Weaver, Bachelor, Rochdale - Sarah Booth - (X), Full, Spinster, Rochdale - Groom's Father: John Lawton, Spinner - Bride's Father: John Booth, Weaver - Witness: Daniel Mills, (X); John Grindrod - Married by Banns by: Wm. Simpson, Curate - Register: Marriages 1843 - 1844, Page 186, Entry 372 -

In the 1851 Census - Thomas Lawton (29) and wife Sarah Booth Lawton (28) are living at Taylor Street, Oldham, with Thomas's Mother 'Hannah Fairley' aged 56 - They have two children James (4) and Margaret (1) also living with the family is an Alice Cooper of Bury aged 48

- 1881 Census - Age 60 (Grocer) at 146 Huddersfield Rd. Greenacres, Oldham.
- 1901 Census - Age 80 (Living on own means) at Blackpool, Lancashire.

- I think it is perhaps significant that the First Born Son of this Thomas Lawton by his wife Sarah (Booth) Lawton was named JOSIAH LAWTON - I think it is perhaps even more significant that the First Born Son of this Thomas Lawton by his Second Wife Alice (Harrop) Lawton was also named JOSIAH LAWTON - Perhaps an indication that Thomas was the descendent of a Josiah Lawton of Saddleworth - Both son's named JOSIAH died as infants.

- More evidence of this being Thomas son of Hannah Fairley - Second marriage to Alice Harrop at Prestwich - Register records Thomas's Father Unknown.

LAWTON Thomas Howard 31 1867 Stayley Tameside STY/8/76

Lawton, Thomas Hulme (~1915 - 1942) - male
b. Abt 1915 in Bardsley, Nr. Oldham, Lancashire.
d. 10 DEC 1942
father: Lawton, Thomas (1885 - 1969)
mother: Hulme, Lizzie (1880 - 1943)

Thomas Lawton was a wireless operator/air gunner with 110 Hyderabad (RAF) Squadron as was my father. Dad didn't join the Squadron until the year following Tom's death. However, Tom's pilot was Billie Carmichael. I know Billie's brother and I've also met a pilot, Redge Duncan, who knew Tom and Billie. Redge will be 94 tomorrow! (Message received 29/8/08)

Chapter Seven

Hoagy Carmichael & Tom Lawton ? Sara V. Mosher, Winnipeg, Manitoba, 2008

Billie Hoagy Carmichael and Thomas Lawton were heroes. Men like RCAF pilot Carmichael and his RAF wireless operator/air gunner Lawton test-flew Vultee Vengeance dive-bombers before they went into full operational use by other air crew on the Burma front. The pilots learned to fly the Vengeance, and then they took the squadron up one by one.

Redge Duncan, another of the test-pilot/instructors, insists he was not a hero but just a man doing his job. Redge said they weren?t given much time. Show them once. Okay, it?s yours now. And sometimes they had to do eight dives in one day, which Redge thought was too many, too hard on the men. You feel your face down around your ankles somewhere.

To Redge and all the other guys Billie was always Hoagy. There was a renowned jazz musician at the time, a guy who made music ?jump?, and his name was Hoagy Carmichael. Born in Bloomington, Indiana, Hoagland Howard Carmichael wrote the music to songs like Georgia On My Mind, Up The Lazy River and Stardust, songs made popular by Lou Rawls, Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole.

Billie was born on November 20, 1920 in Howick, Quebec. After graduating from the Technical School in Ottawa, he enlisted immediately in the air force and was called up in October 1940. While training at Trenton, Ontario Billie had Christmas Dinner in the Airmen?s Mess on December 25, 1940. He had the menu autographed by some of his fellow airmen. Listed on the menu, along with the usual Christmas fare of food and beverages was ?Cigarettes?.

Next came a two-month period of training in Toronto where Billie was selected as an aircrew candidate. After spending time on the Link Trainer, he was chosen to be a pilot. Others were assigned jobs as navigators and air gunners. Under the headline Future Empire Fighters Begin Training at Malton, the Toronto Daily Star printed photos of airmen Bill Carmichael, Al Bonnett, Hal Davidson, Pat Anten (chief flying instructor), Jack Ashbourne, Don Beresford and Lorne Greene. Greene had joined the RCAF and was then taken on by CBC radio to broadcast news about the war, becoming known to Canadians as ?the voice of doom?. Greene went on to star as the famous Pa Cartwright on the long running television series Bonanza

Billie received his wings at Saskatoon in July 1941 and went overseas the following month. Sergeants Carmichael (pilot), Lawton (WAG) and Sadlier (observer) first flew together with 110 Hyderabad Squadron?s D Flight, the ?Warboys?, in Blenheims against the Germans from late 1941 to early 1942. The hard-hitting German battleships Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Prinz Eugen were lying in dry-dock at Brest in the northwest of France at the end of 1941. Repeatedly attacked by squadrons of the Royal Air Force, the harried Germans planned their escape. In January 1942, in a risky move, the three Nazi battle wagons, escorted by six destroyers, dashed up the English Channel to Wilhelmshaven, Germany. Billie and Tom were flying with the lead group of 110 Hyderabad that attacked the German fleet in furious action over the Channel. This time the German fleet escaped with only minor damage, but two years later, on December 26, 1943 the British navy sank the Scharnhorst to the bottom of the sea.

Hyderabad Squadron moved to the Far East in March 1942, departing from Liverpool on the Dutch liner MS Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (JVO). The JVO had been converted to a troopship in 1941. Able to carry 4,000 troops, she sailed for five years through enemy-infested water without damage, becoming known as the Lucky Ship.

After arriving in Quetta on the northwest frontier of India in June 1942, waiting for delivery of Vultee Vengeance Dive-bombers and then travelling by train to Karachi, Pakistan on October 27, the Squadron was finally at war in the Far East, starting flying duties in early November and carrying out anti-submarine sorties in December. While stationed at Quetta Billie met a girl who presented him with a gifta little dog he called Spunky. Billie?s brother Stewart has a photograph of Spunky ?passed out? in bed with an air force cap parked on his head and an empty beer bottle fixed between his paws. Billie celebrated his birthday on November 20th and wrote his mother a letter. He also sent the family a Christmas card. On December 10th Billie Carmichael and Tom Lawton went up in their Vultee Vengeance to practice dives over the Indian Ocean. Redge Duncan talked to Hoagy before he took off. He never saw him again.

A letter to Billie?s mother from the RAF, India, dated 17th September 1943 says: Further to our letter dated 21st February 1943, we have now heard, with great regret, that the Air Ministry have been compelled to make an official presumption that your son Sgt. B. Carmichael died on 10th December 1942. May I say how sorry we are. Below this first paragraph, the paper bears a smudge, made by a mother?s tears, said Stewart Lavalliere, only six years old at the time of his brother?s death.

Warrant Officer Billie Carmichael was 22 years old, son of Mrs. A.S. Lavalliere of Ottawa, Ontario. Sergeant Thomas Hulme Lawton was 27, son of Thomas and Lizzie Lawton, of Bardsley, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire. Tom and Billie are commemorated on the Singapore Memorial where Billie?s name joins those of 198 other Canadians who have no known grave.

The pilots learned to fly the Vengeance, and then they took the squadron up one by one.

Redge Duncan, another of the test-pilot/instructors, insists he was not a hero but just a man doing his job. Redge said they weren?t given much time. Show them once. Okay, it?s yours now. And sometimes they had to do eight dives in one day, which Redge thought was too many, too hard on the men. You feel your face down around your ankles somewhere.

To Redge and all the other guys Billie was always Hoagy. There was a renowned jazz musician at the time, a guy who made music ?jump?, and his name was Hoagy Carmichael. Born in Bloomington, Indiana, Hoagland Howard Carmichael wrote the music to songs like Georgia On My Mind, Up The Lazy River and Stardust, songs made popular by Lou Rawls, Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole.

Billie was born on November 20, 1920 in Howick, Quebec. After graduating from the Technical School in Ottawa, he enlisted immediately in the air force and was called up in October 1940. While training at Trenton, Ontario Billie had Christmas Dinner in the Airmen?s Mess on December 25, 1940. He had the menu autographed by some of his fellow airmen. Listed on the menu, along with the usual Christmas fare of food and beverages was ?Cigarettes?.

Next came a two-month period of training in Toronto where Billie was selected as an aircrew candidate. After spending time on the Link Trainer, he was chosen to be a pilot. Others were assigned jobs as navigators and air gunners. Under the headline Future Empire Fighters Begin Training at Malton, the Toronto Daily Star printed photos of airmen Bill Carmichael, Al Bonnett, Hal Davidson, Pat Anten (chief flying instructor), Jack Ashbourne, Don Beresford and Lorne Greene. Greene had joined the RCAF and was then taken on by CBC radio to broadcast news about the war, becoming known to Canadians as ?the voice of doom?. Greene went on to star as the famous Pa Cartwright on the long running television series Bonanza

Billie received his wings at Saskatoon in July 1941 and went overseas the following month. Sergeants Carmichael (pilot), Lawton (WAG) and Sadlier (observer) first flew together with 110 Hyderabad Squadron?s D Flight, the ?Warboys?, in Blenheims against the Germans from late 1941 to early 1942. The hard-hitting German battleships Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Prinz Eugen were lying in dry-dock at Brest in the northwest of France at the end of 1941. Repeatedly attacked by squadrons of the Royal Air Force, the harried Germans planned their escape. In January 1942, in a risky move, the three Nazi battle wagons, escorted by six destroyers, dashed up the English Channel to Wilhelmshaven, Germany. Billie and Tom were flying with the lead group of 110 Hyderabad that attacked the German fleet in furious action over the Channel. This time the German fleet escaped with only minor damage, but two years later, on December 26, 1943 the British navy sank the Scharnhorst to the bottom of the sea.

Hyderabad Squadron moved to the Far East in March 1942, departing from Liverpool on the Dutch liner MS Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (JVO). The JVO had been converted to a troopship in 1941. Able to carry 4,000 troops, she sailed for five years through enemy-infested water without damage, becoming known as the Lucky Ship.

After arriving in Quetta on the northwest frontier of India in June 1942, waiting for delivery of Vultee Vengeance Dive-bombers and then travelling by train to Karachi, Pakistan on October 27, the Squadron was finally at war in the Far East, starting flying duties in early November and carrying out anti-submarine sorties in December. While stationed at Quetta Billie met a girl who presented him with a gifta little dog he called Spunky. Billie?s brother Stewart has a photograph of Spunky ?passed out? in bed with an air force cap parked on his head and an empty beer bottle fixed between his paws. Billie celebrated his birthday on November 20th and wrote his mother a letter. He also sent the family a Christmas card. On December 10th Billie Carmichael and Tom Lawton went up in their Vultee Vengeance to practice dives over the Indian Ocean. Redge Duncan talked to Hoagy before he took off. He never saw him again.

A letter to Billie?s mother from the RAF, India, dated 17th September 1943 says: Further to our letter dated 21st February 1943, we have now heard, with great regret, that the Air Ministry have been compelled to make an official presumption that your son Sgt. B. Carmichael died on 10th December 1942. May I say how sorry we are. Below this first paragraph, the paper bears a smudge, made by a mother?s tears, said Stewart Lavalliere, only six years old at the time of his brother?s death.

Warrant Officer Billie Carmichael was 22 years old, son of Mrs. A.S. Lavalliere of Ottawa, Ontario. Sergeant Thomas Hulme Lawton was 27, son of Thomas and Lizzie Lawton, of Bardsley, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire. Tom and Billie are commemorated on the Singapore Memorial where Billie?s name joins those of 198 other Canadians who have no known grave.

Stardust

The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew.
Though I dream in vain,
In my heart it will remain,
My stardust melody,
The memory of love?s refrain.
