The marriage of George Lawton and Isabell Smith appears in the church records of Sts Peter and Paul church in Cranfield in Bedfordshire. The church was built in the thirteenth century and has several records of the Lawton family in Cranfield going back at least three generations from Thomas. These include a burial record for a Thomas Lawton (#3080) on 8 December, 1605, who is assumed to be George’s father.
The Lawtons did not appear to be landowners, as George’s father refers to himself in his will as a husbandman, and there is a record of his grandfather renting land from the local lord. George and Isabell were therefore most likely of husbandman class as well.
The baptisms of eight of their children are entered in the parish records. They also record the burial of two of these children who died young, Bennet, at age ten, and Nicholas, at age one. There is no further record of the other children who remained in England, but our two ancestors, George (#884) and Thomas (#770) left England for Portsmouth, Rhode Island and will be discussed in the next chapter.
The birth of Thomas is recorded in the Cranfield parish registry in 1614. as was his marriage to Elizabeth Salisbury at the Church of Sts Peter and Paul on 29 May, 1635.
