Mary Clayton married John Henry Law, Solicitor in 1837 in Preston, Lancs. They had three daughters: Mary Clayton Law, Edith Elizabeth Law and Beatrice Law. This Law family lived in some considerable style in Manchester. Poor Edith died in childbirth with her third child leaving her husband, the Rector of Chorlton-cum-Hardy, with three very young children. We know all there is to know about her and the other two daughters and their descendants and that also goes for John Henry Law - so PLEASE don't waste your precious time on them!

Mary Law, nee Clayton died 8th February 1865 and is buried at Chorlton-cum-Hardy by, as it happens, her son in law. The burial record states that she actually died in BLACKPOOL, which is curious [no jokes please about big dippers ………… - my husband has already made them!], and I cannot find the record of her death so that I can order the Death Certificate. Can anyone see it, please?

Also, it looks as though there is an obituary for her in the British Newspaper Archive on the LDS site but I can't access it.

I would be so grateful for help with this, please.

Many thanks.
