I reckon we might be talking sometime around the 1860's. I had a quick google.

A chap called James Fowler "a prolific church architect" worked on St James' church and designed several buildings in the town including St Michael's church. Noted as five times mayor of Louth.

My grandfather was Tom Maxey and he was the nephew of alderman maxey. 

If I remember rightly he was adopted and took the name maxey and then went on to be mayor a number of times.  There is a portrait of him as mayor in the town hall (or at least there used to be)
