on Natural History, by Charles Waterton, edited by Norman Moore,
published by Frederick Warne & Co., London, 1871.

The information is not only incomplete but is
also largely unverified and so should be treated with caution.
The
story of the Watertons after they left Walton Hall is largely outside
the scope of this website, which is concerned principally with the Squire and his home village of Walton.
The
great, great, great grandson of the Squire (and thus the great, great
grandson of Edmund) lives in Australia, his son, James is the last
of the line. This extract is from a public message published in
the guestbook* of UK Villages (ukvillages.co.uk):

Comment I found J S Sargent's web site about Walton (West
Yorkshire) and Charles Waterton.
I
am the great great great grandson of Charles Waterton, the
Naturalist of Walton Hall, and I enjoyed the Walton website
very much. Thank you (even though the site implies I don't
exist!) Although I was born in England, I am now living in
Perth, Western Australia and my son James is the last of the
male line descended from Charles Waterton the naturalist (although
as you say, the senior male line dies out many centuries ago).
Thank
you again. I have book marked the Walton/Waterton site and
will watch its development with interest.
Best
regards
Charles
