Find Ancestors

Trying to find the above lady who was present at my grandfathers funeral in 1939. My grandad was Albert Corbishley and she was classed as his daughter but she is unknown to us. Thanks

More info please.

Where did your grandad die? To whom was he married?

Is his death either of these?

This will be the Cheadle one but I can't believe that there could be 2 of the same age both with that fairly unusual name who died at the same time ??

Staffordshire Mental Hospital , Cheadle R.D., Staffordshire, England

Perhaps he was in hospital in Cheadle but his home was actually in the Crewe district ???

Edith Lawton on the 1939 Register

Edith Lawton Officer 08 Jul 1895 Female The Clerk Of Mental Hospital Single 1 39

the 1939 reg posted by safc appears to be him, as Christine has those named sons in tree mmn Dix, but there does appear to be a daughter Eileen to a Corbishley/Dix born Congleton

edit forget that as being E Lawton though as Christine has Eileen in her tree also

Births Sep 1922 (>99%)
Corbishley Eileen Dix Congleton 8a 476

Perhaps the person writing up the attendees at the funeral got the relationship wrong, and the Mrs E Lawton was the one who was the Clerk at the mental hospital?

I'm a bit confused as to which Albert?

The one that married Jessie Dix and death reg in Crewe?

https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=160610468&ref=acom
-------------------------------------------------

Or one that married Annie Foster and death reg in Cheadle?

Staffordshire Sentinel - Friday 06 October 1939
Corbishley- On Oct 4th, Albert, the beloved husband of Annie Corbishley of 115 Spencer Road, Shelton, age 64 years, Funeral Sat October 7th at Hanley Cemetery at 3pm.

1939:
115 Spencer Road , Stoke-on-Trent C.B., Staffordshire, England

Annie Corbishley 16 Jan 1874 female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married
Leonard Foster 9 April 1885 male Potter's dishmaker
----------------------------------------------

Is E Lawton listed on an obituary for Albert?

Mrs E Lawton.

E could be her husband's first initial.

Perhaps a relative of Jessie's

An article in the Staffordshire Advertiser - Saturday 10 June 1939 re the death of Mrs Edith Hill, wife of William Hill, Marsh Farm includes all the connected names among the family mourners:

The bearers were Stanley Lawton (Nephew).... Family mourners included William Hill (husband) ...Miss Mary Dix, Mrs Corbishley and Mrs Draycott (sisters), Mr Robert Dix (brother), Mr & Mrs Frank Dix and Mr & Mrs Harold Dix (brother and sister-in-laws), Mr & Mrs E Lawton (sister and brother-in-law)....

This is the family in 1901:

Ohhh you clever sausage Austin - I have been looking everywhere to try to find that link to the Lawtons but you have succeeded once again !!

Well- it's not his daughter, it's his sister in law- but it's the only connection I can see- so perhaps her being listed as daughter was a mistake?

This is Florence and Edward in 1939:
