New addition to original thread:
I'm adding a general question about bigamy and would welcome people's thoughts ...
It's related to my original thread, which I have kept here, because of an event in the life - well, death, really - of Lucy Ann Clayton, nee Erixon.
I'm puzzled by the fact that Lucy's death is recorded in the quarter after her husband William R H Clayton married for a second time.
Records are from FreeBMD and I have double-checked the original images.
Wm's marriage: Jun Q 1873, Poplar
Lucy's death: Dec Q 1873, Stepney.
Was she really lying in a hospital or workhouse when he remarried?
Was William a bigamist, or is there another explanation?
On Ancestry there are some criminal records for a Wm. Clayton of Middx. in particular 11 Aug 1873.

My original thread started 13 December begins here. Thank you for taking the trouble to read this far.
Hi everyone,
I've made quite good progress with tracing a few members of the Erixon (sometimes Erixson) family, who lived mainly in the Shoreditch/Tower Hamlets/St. George East areas.
Now I'm stuck, and would welcome any help or suggestions. It's an unusual name, and I would love to know its origin - wondered perhaps whether the original Erixon arrived on a timber ship from Sweden, or similar.
In particular I'm seeking any info on Christopher and Margaret Erixon, parents of Lucy Ann - they were probably born around 1800 but I can't find them in any census - there's a possible death date for Christopher in 1848 (FreeBMD) altho' it doesn't give his age.
This is what I have already:
Lucy Ann Erixon born Shoreditch c. 1826
1841 census: a Louisa Erixon, servant in Tower of London (can't find a Louisa in later census, so hope this is really Lucy Ann);
1851 census: Lucy Erixon servant in Dock St. Whitechapel;
06 Sep 1852, St. Leonard's Shoreditch: Lucy Ann Erixon married William Robert Heath Clayton (b. 1824)
1861 & 1871 census when she is married to William, with children;
1873, Dec Q : Likely death for Lucy Ann Clayton, age 47, Stepney - although I'm intrigued by William's second marriage in June Q 1873 (i.e. before Lucy died ... have double-checked originals and anyway there aren't many Wm. Robt. H. Claytons around).
Other Erixons: I don't have full access to Ancestry parish records, but can see Marriage banns for William & Lucy with a father, Christopher Erixon. Christopher also appears in baptism record with wife Margaret for son Joseph Wm. Erixon, b. abt 1822, so I'm guessing this is Lucy's brother. I found his record on Docklands website, so perhaps he was born south of the river?
Just to make it really complicated, Joseph marries a Lucy Papworth 1845 and they have a baby Lucy 1846. Joseph then dies Sep Q 1858 and his widow Lucy Erixon marries Edward Beech in 1859.
If you have read all of this, thank you! I look forward to any info you can offer.
Best wishes, Liz
