Hi Michael , yes I was aware that Louisa remarried. I have a fair amount of info on the family. What is your connection to the family. Have attatched a photo of Sarah Bone nee Luxton.

Hello Brenda,

What a lovely photo, I take it that Sarah is the older of the two girls.

I am sending you a private email re connections etc.

Regards Michael.

Hello Brenda,

Another lovely photo, do you know when it was taken? In the 1851 census Mary is 16, living next door to Thomas Luxton's elder sister Maria.

Here is a 1945 photo of John Luxton b.1875 with his wife Gertrude Roffey cropped from a wedding photo; as you can see he is very like his sister Sarah born 17 years before him.

Hello Michail, sorry I never got back to you yesterday but we have the builders in and everywhere is in a bit of a mess. The photo is fantastic, the resemblance is amazing, I will sort out one of my Great gran Ruth Stockley (Sarah's daughter) and my grandad George Stockley and you will see that they too all look alike, in fact my mother does as well and as everyone say's that I am the double of my mother I suppose I do.
I have no idea when Mary's photo was taken but I will ask the person who sent it to me, all other info and photo's come from my mother.
Regards
Brenda

Here is a map of Wanderings Farm, Kingston. The four quarters do not match up exactly as I've assembled it from the corners of four maps.

In the 1851 census the houses were shown as 'Upper Wanderings' and 'Lower Wanderings', I think the upper were along what is now Cambridge Road.

Hi Michael, thanks for the map, I have searched for many years to find out about the Wanderings, my grandad used to say it was a Gypsy camp. the firs photo is of Ruth Stockley nee Bone, Sarah Luxton's daughter and my great grandmother. The 2nd photo is of my grandad  George Stockley and his sister Violet on her 90th birthday in 1991. My mother is to the left of him. The photo of Mary Pett is believed to have been taken in the 1870's

Michael I have been having trouble sending larger photo's, I do not normally have this when sending by e-mail so if you would like to view them on a larger scale maybe we could exchange e-mails

Hi Michael

Just found this thread while trawling the net. Interesting!

Sarah Luxton b: 1837, was my gt gt grandmother, I believe she married a second time with Joseph Steer in 1870 and possibly a third time to Charles William Hall, in 1896. Sarah, may have died in 1908 as Sarah Hall, not confirmed. Any help appreciated here. I have snippets of info about Sarah's siblings, probably nothing compared to what you already have but you're welcome to share. I thought Ursula James was b: Launcells, but found another ref from Crediton, Devon, "I'm not that brilliant at this" I have no birthplace for John Luxton but he may have been at Barnstable, Devon, in 1841 Census. I have listed all the children as born in Kingston district though, Hmm. I would have got this from census but I don't currently have an Ancestry sub so can't recheck

Some of my info was found sometime ago so not entirely sure of some sources. I got a bit bogged down and moved on.
