It's odd that there doesn't seem to be any mention of Ira after his son died in 1856. Even after the two convictions in the newspapers, I'd expect to see prison records at least.

I just realised, that in William Lawton's marriage certificate, he has his father listed as deceased. So Ira must have died some time before 1872.
Perhapss he assumed a different name, or went abroad.

Going through the later census records of William Lawton, he married Jane Martha Forder (nee Banting), who was a widower. In the '81 census, William is listed as being from London (although in the later ones it's Birmingham). In the '81 and '91 censuses, William is listed as a Victualler, and they are running a public house (in '81 The Traveller's Rest, and in '91 The Royal Oak). In 1899, Jane dies, and in the 1901 census, William is still living with two of his sons, and his step daughter, but is now a marine engine fitter. I guess he must have learnt something from his father.
I also realised that one of Williams sons was mistranscribed in the 1901 census as William J Lawton, when it was William I Lawton. Turns out his middle name was Ira.

I found an Ira Lorden, died at Guy's Hospital, in Southwark 1860. Date of birth is a little off, but I can't find any other records for an Ira Lorden, census, birth, or otherwise.
LORDEN, IRA 45
GRO Reference: 1860 S Quarter in ST OLAVE SOUTHWARK Volume 01D Page 23
Also another entry has the name as Ira Londen rather than Lorden.

I don't like paying out for certificates on a 'maybe' who I am looking for basis but I think this may be one of those times where it needs to be done.
Like you I can't find any other records for this person although there are a few Lorden/Landen/London/Landon/Lardon people in the area and elsewhere none of them have the first name Ira.
