Laxton family from Old Weston.

I am researching my husband's family. His great grandmother was Sarah Laxton from Old Weston. She moved with her parents and brothers and sisters to Barrow-in-furness. From what I can gather, other Laxtons families also moved there,
possibly uncles and cousins, etc.

In Barrow-in-Furness she met Alfred Jones whom she married in the 1870s. Alfred had also moved to Barrow-in-Furness to get work. He had come from West Bromwich where the most of the present Jones family now live. In Barrow Alfred and Sarah had four children and then moved back to West Bromwich where they had another three children, the youngest, Herbert, being my husbands grandfather.

Has anyone got any information about the Laxton family, also are there any Laxtons still living in Old Weston? We have visited Old Weston and St. Swithins Church. We have not been able too find any Laxton graves there.
