Title: LAUGHTON - Albert Edward & Charlotte
Post by: CuriousCate on Sunday 26 January 20 22:57 GMT (UK)
I have very little information other than :-

Associated with the city of Leicester and Rushden.
Albert & Charlotte Laughton had 7 children
Elsie
William
Albert Frederick (b 28/8/1897 England, d 20/8/1971 Australia)
Thomas
George
Walter
Olivia

Charlotte died in 1906.
Albert remarried in 1910 but I don't have these details.
I do not know anything at all about their children, other than a few details about their son, Albert.

Son Albert Frederick Laughton (my grandfather) was stationed at Valetts, Malta WWI, then France. After injury, he was at Maryhill Barracks in Glasgow.
He married Agnes Wallace McPherson in Maryhill, Glasgow on 14/4/1919.

Any leads appreciated.

Thank you Suzard - the discrepancies are due to documentation in WWI which has caused some confusion.

Yes, replies in the right place!  :)

There were 2 John/Jonathan LAUGHTONs who were both shoemakers around Rushden similar in ages, but the other was born in Bozeat. There are some newspaper articles which mention a John LAUGHTON, but I think it's the other one.
