Sephton Family possibly of Coventry
« on: Monday 10 August 09 11:49 BST (UK) »
Hi

Can anyone lay claim to the above and help me to fill in some blanks.  All I have is:

Mary Hannah Judith Harrison (b1898 Leic but her family were from the  Birmingham area) m William Sephton 1916 (he died shortly after the death of his son)  Mary was 'adopted' by a family called Lightfoot. They were I gather quite well to do and had either a retail or wholesale business.

They had 2 sons William b 1916 who died as a child and

Bertram (Bert) b 31.12.1922 died 2000 in Coventry.

Bert married  and had a child.

Does anyone recognise them?

Many thanks
Ginger

In case there is a connection - one Sephton family were well known canal boat builders for several generations at Hawkesbury Junction, on the north side of Coventry.

Boatyard at Sutton Stop see - http://findarticles.com/p/news-articles/coventry-evening-telegraph-england/mi_7969/is_1999_May_1/preserving-canal-heritage-council-sephtons/ai_n32596816/
Sephton Drive is in that area of Longford.
Also the name was big in the Bedworth area, there are mentions going back at least to the mid 1800s and still families of that name there today.

Hi Everyone - I have  found the 'modern' Sephton and will soon be investigating the old ones a bit more.   Thank you all for your interest.
