George Lawton was born in Penistone in 1811 the seventh of eight children of Thomas Lawton and Elizabeth, nee Marsden.
Census records and family certificates show that George was a farmer and miller farming 160 acres and employing four men. He was also an inn keeper and in 1851 the family address was the Rose and Crown Inn, Langsett. In the Gazetteer and General Directory of Sheffield for 1852 George is listed as 'miller and vict. Coach and Horses, Midhope'. It was not unusual for a farmer to also sell beer. An Inn would usually also provide food and accommodation.
By 1861 Mary's brother, John Stead, was living with the family. John was unmarried and described on census records as 'imbecile from birth'. He was still living with George and Mary in 1881.
George died aged 71, cause of death was Capillary Bronchitis Exhaustion which he had suffered from for seven days. In 1891 his widow Mary was living with her daughter Mary's family.
