Matthew Manton died 21 July 1862 and was buried 28 July 1862 at Brompston Cemetery
Sep 1862 Kensington 1a 63 age 36

Cecilia Manton died 5 December 1884
Dec 1884 Kensington 1a 131 age 57

Both have probate

The 1871 Census shows John at Nidry Lodge, Campden Hill, Kensington as a Servant to Katherine Campbell.

Cecilia is at 5 Walgrave Road with daughter Elizabeth in 1871 and at the same address in 1881 with son John.

Matthew and Cecilia had 5 children
Mary Mar 1854 Greenwich 1d 569 mmn Morrang
Thomas Mar 1856 Kensington 1a 29 mmn Morrang
John Jun 1857 Kensington 1a 29 mmn Morrang
Elizabeth Jun 1859 Kensington 1a 58 mmn Morrey
Cecilia Mar 1862 kensington 1a 118 mmn Morrang - died 1863

In 1861 Mary, John and Elizabeth were boarders with Jane Robinson at 8 Carrington Street St George Hanover Square. Ref RG09/46/F22/p12
I cannot find Matthew, Cecilia or Thomas.

Re the two Mary A Manton deaths - in the 1921 Census John and Mary A Manton are living in Battersea, Wandsworth. Looking on the Genuki site Battersea is 3 miles fron St George Hanover Square and Wandsworth is 4 miles whilst Battersea is 6 miles from Southwark and Wandsworth is 4 miles so I think the only way to find out which, if either, is the correct Mary is to buy the death certs.

John Manton death
Mar 1932 Wandsworth 1d 825 aged 74

I think I have sorted the Mary A Manton deaths. You want the one who died in 1925 St George Hanover Square.

I have found two parish burials, one for John Manton buried 24 February 1932 aged 74 in Morden Surrey, address given as 77 Swaffield Road - this fits with the death registration in my previous post.

Mary Manton was also buried in Morden 1 September 1925 aged 68. Her address is given as Westminster Hospital. St Georges Hospital, Westminster comes under St George Hanover Square.

Thanks emeltee.

I was using A.. because FMP was down - well it was saying there were too many sittings ?? meaning too many connections from libraries.
