The marriage you mention was in 1967 and as previously advised - you will need to buy a copy of that cert to get further info

As both women you mention could still be alive their names should be removed from your post

There's a family tree on ancestry which gives his death date as 6/10/1995 - it is not sourced

full disclosure they give a date of birth as 16/42/1942 so I'm not sure how accurate they are

CMM does indeed still appear to be alive,reverted back to her maiden name.

How sure are you of the 1961 children?

Sent you a pm - however I don't think there was a Lawford/Chambers marriage

In 1965 an E* MARRIES a C* - and the 1961 Lawford birth in Manchester's mothers maiden name matchs this E's surname on marriage 4 years later.


* The names on the 1965 marriage appear on 192.com Electoral Roll , 2014-2018.

I know Carlton Lawford as a child.  Carlton supposeling had an uncle /mentor also under the name of Lawford in Manchester UK. I don't know his name only that he sponsored Carlton to move from Jamaica to the UK and set him up in the UK. Carlton did have a sister also living in the USA but I believe she has long passed.  His uncle from what I understand was quite well to do. CM's mother was EM who at the time owned a shop in the UK and Carlton was a bread delivery man who would deliver bread to the shop that is how he met CM.  EM never approved of the relationship and she sadly passed in 2012 in New York from Dementia her husband VM also died in New York in 1998 (but he is not CM's father). Back to Carlton, he was unfortunately involved with several women at the same time.   He did have children with another woman at the same time he had children with CM hence the children being born 5 months apart. Carlton Married CM in 1967.  He had three children with CM, and they are all alive 2 boys, and one girl - there is a fourth child but although she was named Lawford, Calton is not her father (these were different days and to avoid stigma or scandal the child was given the name Lawford but it is believed that she could be a Quarmby).  This child is also still alive and a successful lawyer living in the USA.  Although born in the UK she moved to the USA in the late eighties to be with her grandmother EM until her passing in 2012.  Indeed, Carlton reverted back to Jamaica but the story I understand was that he was allowed to go to the States and stay with EM.  It is alleged that he unfortunately fell out of favor with a male friend over money, and mysteriously the Immigration authorities were called to where he was working and he was deported back to Jamaica where the family for some time lost contact with him sometime around the seventies.
