London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Lansdown
« on: Thursday 10 March 11 22:27 GMT (UK)  »
We have copies of both John Lansdown's marriage certificates and have wondered why the father's names were different. Perhaps it was simply a mistake because I have not been able to find another reason. His father James was born in 1794. Does that make Daniel his brother? We have found out about James Lansdown and Margaret Matthews through censuses and baptism records at the Westminster Archive. I would love to know more about the Westminster Lansdowns. :)

I have the baptism record for James Lansdown born August 28th 1794. His father was James and mother Susannah. As James Lansdown and Margaret Matthews called their first daughter Susan, I think that he might be the right one.
I cannot believe that Sarah Elizabeth did not know of John's first marriage and children. He had four living daughters, three of which were still living with him only the month before he was married to Sarah. The youngest Susan played an important role in my Mother's life. I believe my mother knew your grandmother as a child.

I am the mother referred to in the original post. My son has been helping me to research the Lansdown family history. I am a granddaughter of Florence Elizabeth, sister of Frederick James. We have discovered quite a lot about John Lansdown but have yet to find any definite record of his birth or baptism, though we have found a possibility. I would be pleased to make contact with you.
