I'm trying to figure out if my Anthony Lawton (mar. Ann Yates 4 Feb 1818 in Sedgley, Staffordshire) is the same person who matches this death register:
"Anthony Lawton
England and Wales Death Registration Index 1837-2007
Event Type:
Death
Registration District:
Dudley
Name:
Anthony Lawton
Death Date:
1846
Death Place:
Dudley, Staffordshire, England"
Also, I'm trying to figure out if he is the same person as this Anthony Lawton:
Anthony Lawton (ch 21 Aug 1796 Manchester, Lanchashire, England)
I'm not sure if I'm correct, but I think that Anthony Lawton is the son of Anthony Lawton ch. 18 Mar 1770 Keele, Staffordshire, England. So there is a connection to Staffordshire. It's just a bit anomolous that he would be christened in Manchester. Also, there is an Anthony Lawton who got married in Manchester:
Anthony Lawton
Sex:
Male
Spouse's Name:
Ellen Appleton
Spouse's Sex:
Female
Marriage Date:
23 Apr 1792
Marriage Place:
Manchester, Lancashire, England
If I can figure out how Manchester, Sedgley and Keele are all connected, that would be interesting. If this is correct, I've tried to reconstruct the male line as follows:
Edward Lawton = Mary Pickerin (d. 1687)
John Lawton (ch 3 May 1681 Keele) = Sarah Dale
William Lawton (ch 23 August 1719 Wolstanton, d. 1803) = Elisabeth
Joseph Lawton (ch 22 Jan 1748 Keele) = Anne Ward
Anthony Lawton (ch 18 Mar 1770 Keele, Staffordshire, England) = Ellen Appleton
Anthony Lawton (ch 21 Aug 1796 Manchester, Lanchashire, England) = Jane Yates
Sampson Lawton (abt 1826 Kingswinford, Staffordshire) = Phoebe Cooper

Hi the burial in 1846 is on FreeREG and he was only aged 11 (Dudley comes under Worcestershire)

Lots for you to ponder over but still no Burial for Anthony

This is all very interesting thanks.
Yes, it does appear that he may have died before 1847.

There is this one on Familysearch
Anthony Lorton buried St James Sedgley 2.1.1828 aged 57 years (1771) residence Gornal Wood

Anthony Lorton buried St James Sedgley 2.1.1828 aged 57 years (1771) residence Gornal Wood
Anthony does not appear in the 1841 census, so this makes sense. If 1771 is his birth year, that also makes sense, as it supports his identification with Anthony Lawton (ch 18 Mar 1770 Keele, Staffordshire, England).
There were two Lawtons born in 1836 who lived in the same household in 1841 (Emma and Anthony, both born in 1836). Emma was christened in 24 April 1836
Kingswinford, Staffordshire, England, United Kingdom with mother listed as Jane Lawton, no father. So maybe the second Anthony died in 1836 and left a pregnant wife. Either that or Jane had two illegitimate children.

There is a baptism of an Anthony Lawton 30.8.1835 Kingswinford and St Marys Chapelry mother Anne no father listed this might be the Anthony in the 1841 household
14.9.1818 marriage of Anthony Lawton previously married to Jane Yates at Sedgley
Also on Familysearch the baptism 22.1.1826 at Kingswinford of Sampson names him as Anthony Sampson Lawton (parents Anthony and Jane) but there isn't a copy of the original baptism register to check if this is right or not
