Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 2,377 Send Message	Thank you for all the extra PricklyHolly. I have heard back from the descendant and it is George Francis so that is fine. What threw me was that they had his birth as 1891, which is correct - 31 Dec lol - but of course he was not registered until 1892

	Ah yes Frances. Lots of people get confused when that happens!! Happy researching.......Prickles.

	I think the Elizabeth born 1894 in the 1911 census is the Hannah E who appears in the 1901 census... Births Mar 1894 (>99%) Lawton Hannah Elizabeth W.

Liverpool, England, Baptisms, 1813-1906 about Francis George Lawton Name: Francis George Lawton Birth Date: 7 Apr 1867 Baptism Date: 5 May 1867 Parish: Stanley St Anne Father's Name: George Lawton (Dyer) Mother's name: Ann Lawton Abode: Poplar Grove There is also this Baptism for a Francis Lawson.......

Here is the other Francis in the 1901 census... 1901 England Census about Francis Lawton Name: Francis Lawton Age: 35 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1866 Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Ann Lawton Gender: Male Where born: Liverpool, Lancashire, England Civil parish: Liverpool Ecclesiastical parish: Christchurch County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street Address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Liverpool Sub-registration district: Islington ED, institution, or vessel: 10 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 165 Piece: 3423 Folio: 38 Page Number: 24 Household Members: Name Age Francis Lawton 35 (Ships S..man) Seas Ann Lawton 33 John R Lawton 11 Samuel Lawton 10 Dinah Lawton 9 Son John's marriage record........

Francis George Lawton married Ann Jane Bretherton in 1889.
