William Anderton

Identified in the Silvy daybooks as 'Mr Anderton,' the previous entry is Lady Emma Anderton, presumably his wife. This is therefore probably William Michael Ince Anderton, J.P. and D.L., of Euxton Hall, Lancashire. Born into an ancient Roman Catholic family on 29 September 1825, he died in 1884. He married his first wife in 1850; she was Lady Emma Frances Mary, second daughter of Arthur James Plunkett, 9th Earl of Fingall. She died on 14 October 1866, aged only 40. William Anderton married, secondly, Caselda née Hunloke, daughter of Sir Harry Hunloke, Bart., and granddaughter of Lady Scarisbrick of Scarisbrick Hall.
