...my head is splitting 

Well, yes  I am not surprised!

Mary Lawton born illegitimate 1901 to Alice Lawton
Alice 'Lockwood' Lawton born illegitimate 1884 to Elizabeth Ann Lawton
Elizabeth Ann 'Helliwell' Lawton baptised illegitimate to Phebe Lawton

Elizabeth Anne Helliwell Lawton
Baptism Date: 11 Sep 1867
Baptism Place: Dodworth, St John the Baptist, Yorkshire, England
Mother Phebe Lawton a single woman

But luckily! at least they left some clues in the middle names

I do seem to be stuck in finding who Elizabeth Ann Lawton/Strutt b 1868 married   onwards and upwards.

This looks like her.

Nov 12th,1888, Holy Trinity Church, Huddersfield
William Ashworth, 24, police constable, father John Ashworth a farmer
Elizabeth Ann Lawton, 21, father George Lawton a butcher.

1891, Berry Brow, Almondbury.  RG12; Piece: 3563; Folio: 99; Page: 28
William Ashworth    26, policeman, Pontefract
Elizabeth A Ashworth    23, Dodworth
Edith Ashworth    1, Huddersfield

William Ashworth, 24, police constable, father John Ashworth a farmer
Elizabeth Ann Lawton, 21, father George Lawton a butcher.

There is a George Helliwell, butcher born Silkstone, but whether he's Elizabeth Ann Lawton's father - we may never know.

1871, Higham, Barugh, Barnsley
George    Helliwell    45,    Silkstone, Butcher    
Ellen    Helliwell    23, wife, Dodworth       
Anne    Helliwell    1, Dau, Dodworth       
Joseph    Helliwell    81, Boarder,    Dodworth, Formerly Butcher    
Sarah    Helliwell    61, Boarder    Dodworth

sallyyorks I think you have hit the nail on the head  .     Please tell me where you got this info was it FBMD ? . no wonder my hubbys elderly Aunt once said "don't ask questions there best left alone" Its a shame that that era found it so shaming lets face it its still going on  I was born out of wedlock  (I'm 69) but it doesen't bother me its just handy for " inherited Illnesses" in my eyes  .
Thank you once again.

I used a mixture of freebmd and the familysearch site and ancestry.co.uk. (free weekend)

I have a lot of illegitimacy in my tree. Two of my Gt Grandmothers were illegitimate.
I don't think illegitimacy was that uncommon and especially in Yorkshire for some reason
