Hi Nicola, sorry for the late posting, I haven't been on this thread or Ancestry for awhile. I do know that Frank Lawton was a Taxi Driver and Lived in Gilroy Road with Ellen and cared for Henry Charles Schwarze at this address, until Henry died there in 1931. I believe Frank died in his Taxi of a Heart attack, parked at the Gates outside Yew Tree Cemetery, and Ellen's demise was extremely tragic, falling from a window at Woodstock Gardens, in 1941. Ellen was known in the family as Nellie, and apparently was quite strict, and dressed in black most of the Time, as a lot of widows did in those days. Sorry this reply is a bit on the morbid side, Good Luck with the Family Tree.

Hello Clarijo, Mary Jane died in March 1890, she and Hugo Henry had moved to 30 Rickman Street Kirkdale, ( it's still there) Hugo was a Chemist and had another shop with a work yard next to it, on the nearby Commercial Road were he Distilled Naptha,amongst other Chemicals. The shop on Walton Lane was also near to that Area,which was more of a General Store with fresh Fish as the Principle stock. Apparently,after the death of Annie Jones, his second wife, the squabbles between members of the family and due to his own failing health, Hugo Henry burnt his Will and the Deeds to the properties, he died in 1901. The shop on Walton Lane continued in the Fischer name until World War One, my Grandfather Fredrick was badly injured aged 11 trying to stop the attack on the shop, he was pushed under a Horse and Cart, he received a lot of broken bones, but survived and went on to join the R.A.F during World War Two. His Father, Henry Charles was sent to the Internment Camp on the Isle of Man for the rest of World War One, along with many more German Shop Keepers, I don't know at present if any of the Fischer side of the family were rounded up, a lot of German origin men were also sent to Camps in the Lake District.
