Hi well yes if you can help me find any lewins in sussex it woud help me,thank you.I know there were 3 born in sussex,
BEATRICE M M LEWIN B ABT 1881
COLIN C LEWIN B ABT 1883
PERCY R LEWIN  b abt 1884
The others after him were born in lancashire.

The reason I am interested is because an ancestor married into the lewin's, well actually 2 of them did. The first sister MARIA DARBY b abt 1841 barrow upon soar married GEORGE LEWIN  abt 1860 in barrow upon soar. Then MARIA died after having abt 8 children with him. she died the 16 nov, 1871. Then GEORGE LEWIN married MARIA's  younger sister FANNY DARBY b abt 1854 in thrussington leics. Not sure when they married but they had 15 children together.So  a big family.Thank you for your help.

hi again, now i,m speechless, i wasn,t sure if you mean,t two different georges are you saying the one chap was the father of all those children or is it the joining of two families and some just belonged to fanny.regarding the places of birth six hills,sileby and barrow are all within about a mile and a half of each other.anyway thanks for replying i will look through my notebooks tomorrow in case i have any sileby lewins in there.
thanks,elaine
