Heaton family, St Helens area.

[Tea Time]

I'm having difficulty finding information about a Lawrence Heaton, born abt. 1893 in Prescot, St Helens. If its possible, could someone check him out for me, please? I'm looking especially for siblings, parents, grandparents, but anything that would help.

Hi Tea Time,
This is the only one I could find;

1901 Census
83 Oldfield St
St Helens, Lancashire

John HEATON, 40, Head, Mar, Glass Blower
Sarah A, 34, Wife, Mar
Lambert, 13, Son
James, 9, Son
LAWRENCE, 7, Son
Albert, 3, Son
John, 1, Son
John FORSTER, 48, Lodger, Mar, Gardener

Do you have his Marriage Cert to confirm his Fathers name and Occp?

1891 census they are at same address, John is a Glass Labourer and they have a another Child who does not appear on 1901 Census ELIZ age 4 and also Lambert is there aged 3.

I can go back further with this Family but need to confirm what info post 1893 you have for Lawrence.

You need Lawrences Marriage Cert and then his Birth Cert.
Do you have them?

JOHN Heatons Parents seem to be PETER Heaton and Elizabeth FOSTER who Married 1859
PETER Heatons Parents appear to be WILLIAM Heaton and Margaret SIXSMITH who Married 1814.
Of course all this needs to be confirmed yet.

Trish, first of all, thanks ever so for your help.

I have a birth certificate for Lawrence Heaton, and it shows him to have been born at 83 Oldfield Street. His father is shown as John Heaton, and mother as Sarah Ann Heaton, formerly Thompson.

It seems as though this is the correct one, but as you say, it all needs confirming.

Looks like it has been confirmed
I will post up other info I have found later.

Especially the 1871 census results has given me quite a bit to chew on. I'm assuming that Peter Heaton died somewhere between 1861 and 1871. Others seem to have disappeared also. A mining accident perhaps, given the area?
