RESEARCH NOTES:
- Listed by other researchers as son of Edmund Compton and Margaret Lawes. Mother couldn’t be Margaret (Lawes) Compton as she was born 1769 making her 74 in 1843! Likely the grandson of Edmund and Margaret rather than their son; father may be their son William - see 1851 census, listed as son of William Compton, age 43.
