FBMD Monday 28/12/1874 St. Peters' Stepney. I have been unable to find either John or Elizabeth in the 1901 census, so I must assume they died between 1801/1901.

In 1901 he and Sarah were living at 613, Seven Sisters Rd. Tottenham. The properties must have been large or very cramped as on census day there were 7 Laughtons at this address, and 8 Hendersons.
