I am looking into the family of Henry Lewtas who lived in kirkham and I have hit a brick wall with this family he was born in 1850 and he died in 1922 he lived in mill street kirkham has anyone got details of this family thank you for your help in this problem
-
What have you got on him so far - do you have him on a census or have his birth record?
Did he marry and have children?
Any other information that would help us to find him.
-
GRO show - December quarter 1849 - Fylde RD - Henry
Kirkham Lewtas - mother's maiden name = Whalley.
ADDED:
Cannot readily see a marriage between Lewtas and Whalley - FreeBMD
-
Have you access to any ancestry sites as his name is distinctive to find and census records for each year come up for him.
1851 there is a large Lewtas family of 10 living in Mill Street - which one is the brick wall?
Note there is another Lewtas family with a son Henry living in Poulton Street in 1851.
That Henry is 3.
The Henry in Mill Street is 1.
-
Ah - from 1851 census it looks as though John and "Marjory" married prior to 1831.
-
I had him on the mormon site living in kirkham in mill street kirkham
-
From Ancestry - image of marriage entry in Kirkham - John Lewtas and Margery Whalley - both of Kirkham - 25 December 1830. Both made their mark.
