Thread: Laughton of Deptford

Bazza · 20-11-2008, 11:18 PM

Morning all,

Looking for the family of James Laughton, boot/shoemaker of Deptford. The last known address I have for him is in 1826 in Flagon Row, however he was still living in Deptford in 1837 (whether at the same address or not I don't know). Pigot's Directory for 1840 lists an Andrew Laughton, bootmaker, at 27 Flagon Row, Deptford, who may be a connection.

Could someone please check for census details for James & Andrew - no ages unfortunately, but they would've been born 1780s ish...

Thanks

Baz

THANK YOU HARRYMAN!!!!

Certainly did help.

Would it be possible to chase the children of James and Martha through the later censuses?

Thanks Again

Thanks for those Harryman. Where did you find the reference to the maternal grandparents? Is that on the baptism register? Do you have access to Deptford baptisms?

I'm looking into the girls' marriages and let you know what I come up with.
