Patrick, I believe this is my grandmother's brother, Hugh Wilson Ilderton.He was a doctor and our family history says that he changed his name, dropping the Ilderton and using Wilson as his last name.The children of Dr. Robert Ilderton Limehouse (you found records that he dropped his last name in 1877) and Emma Cantley did not use the last name of Ilderton until after Dr. Robert's death in 1900.Census records of 1880 show the family as Cantley with Emma as head of household.In 1900 census records (June) they are shown as Emma Ilderton and children.Apparently, Hugh did not want to be known as an Ilderton because of the scandal.We have found no record that Dr. Robert and Emma ever married.His wife, Mary Hill, was still living when he died and she died just a year before Emma (my great grandmother).
