| | JOHN LAUGHTON (1881 - 1881)
The 1800's was a tough time for the young generation, with many succumbing to
an early death from childbirth, scarlet fever, dropsy and accidental death.
The family records show the following for these special members of
the Laughton clan, the details of which have been updated after our September
2004 visit to the Parkhill
Cemetery family plot : (click on images for larger pictures)

John Van Wyck Laughton 1881
(does not match gravestone dates) |
John Van Wyck Laughton who was born August 17, 1881, died
at age 1 month and 15 days on October 2, 1881. We are seeking
confirmation of the dates. This information is confirmed in the LDS Registry
access to the Ontario Death's 1869-1947. It notes that the place of
death was "South Marysburgh, Prince Edward, Ontario". I
note the . burial card says St. Mary's (a town where there is an
indication John Hugh resided at one time).
Current records show that Marysburgh was a
Township in Prince
Edward County, a land mass jutting into the St. Lawrence River south
of Bellville, Ontario. As of this date there are no records indicating
how or why the death occurred at that location, or is that incorrect
and he died in St. Mary's some distance away?
