| | JANE LAUGHTON (1828 - )
| We do not have a lot of details on
Jane Laughton 1828 other that she was the third daughter of John
Laughton 1801 and that she married William Sinclair on December 10,
1857. Jane (or Jean - the names appear to be interchangeable in
Orkney) had four children - Jemina, John, William and Bella.
We should note that William and Bella are
"twins" so this is the earliest yet of the twins from a
Laughton, although in this case they did not carry forward under the
Laughton name.
We have a detailed family tree in the documents
from John Ivan Laughton that were provided in March 2009:
Further review of the letter package of John Ivan
Laughton also revealed a letter of December 12, 1939 to "Cousin
Julia" (that would be Julia Laughton 1867
- daughter of John Laughton 1829), from
"Teenie Sinclair". Logic tells me that this
letter was written by the daughter-in -law of Jane Laughton 1828, namely
Christine Sinclair (nee Stewart). Christine married William
Sinclair. This interesting letter reports on the situation at the
outbreak of the Second World War and the censorship being applied to the
Laughton family letters from Orkney, Scotland.
