Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 2 377 Send Message	Hi PricklyHolly. I thought I had just written to you but perhaps because you can't see me I'm not really here? More likely I did something other than click 'Submit' and now I can't remember..... Well you have left me in a right state and I think the only thing left is to ascertain from the real descendant which family he really knows about and who was alive when he was a child, from 1939. Originally, this a.m. I was going into G.R. to find out about Sarah Jane Griffiths, because there seems to be a choice, then I saw what you had been upto and Sarah Jane went out of my head.....

	Although baptised as Francis, his parents obviously preferred to call him Frank. He appears as Frank on son George's marriage record too. He is not with his parents in the 1871 census... 1871 England Census about Frank Lawton Name: Frank Lawton Age: 2 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1869 Relation: Boarder Gender: Male Where born: Liverpool Civil parish: Wavertree Ecclesiastical parish: Trinity Town: Wavertree County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Registration district: West Derby Sub-registration district: Wavertree ED, institution, or vessel: 5 Household schedule number: 49 Piece: 3851 Folio: 106 Page Number: 10 Household Members: Name Age John Summerfield 51 Harriott Summerfield 48 Frank Lawton 2 James Dunlop 22 June Dunlop 19 1871 England Census about George Lawton Name: George Lawton Age: 35 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1836 Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Hannah Lawton Gender: Male Where born: Adbaston, Staffordshire, England Civil parish: West Derby Ecclesiastical parish: St Catherine Town: Liverpool County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Registration district: West Derby Sub-registration district: West Derby ED, institution, or vessel: 45 Household schedule number: 169 Piece: 3846 Folio: 132 Page Number: 27 Household Members: Name Age George Lawton 35 (Railway Beaksman) Hannah Lawton 34 Edith Lawton 4 Matthew Bate 22 (Lodger)

	I have checked out the info regarding the Father of George Francis Lawton. Liverpool, England, Baptisms, 1813-1906 about Francis George Lawton Name: Francis George Lawton Birth Date: 7 Apr 1867 Baptism Date: 5 May 1867 Parish: Stanley St Anne Father's Name: George Lawton (Dyer) Mother's name: Ann Lawton Abode: Poplar Grove There is also this Baptism for a Francis Lawson....... Liverpool, England, Baptisms, 1813-1906 about Francis Lawton Name: Francis Lawton Baptism Date: 24 Jan 1869 Parish: Edge Hill St Catherine Father's Name: George Lawton (Porter) Mother's name: Hannah Lawton Abode: 57 Edward Street. Here is the other Francis in the 1901 census... 1901 England Census about Francis Lawton Name: Francis Lawton Age: 35 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1866 Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Ann Lawton Gender: Male Where born: Liverpool, Lancashire, England Civil parish: Liverpool Ecclesiastical parish: Christchurch County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street Address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Liverpool Sub-registration district: Islington ED, institution, or vessel: 10 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 165 Piece: 3423 Folio: 38 Page Number: 24 Household Members: Name Age Francis Lawton 35 (Ships S..man) Seas Ann Lawton 33 John R Lawton 11 Samuel Lawton 10 Dinah Lawton 9 Son John's marriage record........

Francis George Lawton married Ann Jane Bretherton in 1889. So it seems that the Father of George Francis Lawton is Francis Lawton (No middle name of George) and i would say that the parents of your Francis Lawton is George and Hannah........ 1881 England Census about Frank Lawton Name: Frank Lawton Age: 12 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1869 Relation: Son Father's Name: George Lawton Mother's name: Hannah Lawton Gender: Male Where born: Lpool, Lancashire, England Civil parish: West Derby County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street Address: 14 Railway Cottages Education: Employment status: View image Occupation: Scholar Registration district: West Derby Sub-registration district: West Derby (Municipal) ED, institution, or vessel: 53 Neighbors: View others on page Piece: 3708 Folio: 85 Page Number: 6 Household Members: Name Age George Lawton 45 (Railway Inspector) Albaston Staffordshire Hannah Lawton 42 West Bromwich Staffordshire Edith Lawton 14 West Bromwich Staffordshire Frank Lawton 12 Thomas Lawton 8 Harry Lawton 6 Alice Lawton 3 George Lawton Henry Pears 21 (Boarder)
