Rupert M. Heaton and María Heaton
He is the last Heaton, among many others including Annie Plews, buried in the English Cemetery of the long family saga of English engineers who for two centuries created wealth in Andalusia from their agricultural and industrial machinery factory La Esperanza, which continued to operate until 1960. The Heaton’s had a lot to do with bringing the railway and electricity to Malaga. They came from Bolton in the north of England, where even today a district and the town’s own cemetery are still called Heaton.
