Hi All I have a mystery family, I have them on the 1841,1851 and 1861 census from then on they have disappeared.
I have now put the dissappearance down to the fact that the father stephen john Sewell was made bankrupt in 1863 so I presume they then changed their name.
The problem is I cannot find any of the childrens births listed anywhere.
The children are:-
Mary - 1836 - clerkenwell
caroline - 1838 - clerkenwell
stephen or John - 1840 -islington
elizabeth -1843 - islington
Martha - 1845 - islington (my 2X GGM)
Emily - 1851 - islington
and on the 1861 census are these :-
Mathew - 1844 - islington
Charles - 1854 - islington
Frederick - 1856 - islington
I have searched high and low and cannot find a single birth record that fits date and location wise
I am now beginning to think that they never registered any birth for whatever reason!
any ideas anyone!
