    • Anderton Gallery

    There is an Anderton Art Gallery in Colorado:

    Anderton Gallery, Inc.
    PO Box 402, Crested Butte, CO / 970-349-5289

    I asked if anyone had any information as to the origin of the name of the Gallery and received two replies:

    The first came from Richard Lee Anderton, of Colorado, who told me:

    "Regarding the Anderton Art Gallery in Crested Butte. The store was started a number of years ago by Susan Anderton, who amazingly, is like a twin to my younger sister who is also Susan Anderton. She came from England and when my wife and I had a chance to meet with her and compare photos, there was that amazing Anderton resemblence. She eventually sold the gallery and I am not sure if she still lives in Crested Butte or not, but the gallery retains her name. I have some of her artwork, it is beautiful."

    I also received a nice letter from Stewart Anderton, who said:

    "On your web site you ask for information regarding the origin of the name of the Anderton Gallery in Crested Butte Colorado. The gallery was founded and owned by my sister, Susan Anderton, who moved to the town in the early 1970's and established her art business.
    We were born and brought up in north Manchester, but are from the Anderton line in Macclesfield and Gawsworth. I think the William Anderton b. 1872 listed in your     Database might be our grandfather. He died in 1958 aged 86, had lived in Macclesfield all his life and his ancestors were from Gawsworth - so the information fits. I think the sister of William Anderton, Elizabeth Ann Anderton went to Canada and married a Coe."
