Gawsworth - Lawton

[jonnyleeds]

Hi , Can anyone please help? I am desperately looking for a Joseph Lawton born in 1803/4 I believe in Gawsworth. He married a Margaret Shawcross in Manchester in 1828. The family moved to Eccles, Lancs but I don't know when. I am looking for Joseph and his parents if possible.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

John

Hi John, (Hi Su...)

I think that I might be linked to these LAWTON's in Gawsworth.  I have  Margaret LAWTON who married William ROYLANCE, Blacksmith, at Alderley Edge.  I can't remember the exact date off hand but it was about 1810.

I remember that Margaret had links with Gawsworth.  I'll have a proper look later.
