[Valley]

Hi
I have a Alice Mary Lewry born 1867 Mother Mary no father listed on BC
In 1898 she marries Stephen Charles Smith but now she is Mary Alice married in Brighton. Stephen and mary / Alice had 3 children all born Maresfield, this much I know. My question is who was Mary Lewry parents and where did they come from as I have a peice of paper written ages ago here goes,
Sarah and George Lewery? diff spelling Aunt and uncle to mothers mother 1846 lived nr Brighton and Daughter contracted scarlet Fever from children (nursemaiding) at Crowborough. Returned home with disease and all three in family died within 14 days. Does anyone think the familys are related if so I would love some help with this.
My grandmother was Mary / Alice Lewry  and Stephen Smiths Daughter Alice Emily Louise.
Many thanks in advance

Here is some information (It looks correct). It makes interesting reading but doesn't help you out much I am afraid. Perhaps fits in with family dying from Scarlet Fever?

HI
Thanks for info what would a nurse child be? I have never heard the name markwick mentioned in Family but you never know.

I imagine that it means the child was being looked after. It could be that her parents were killed by the Scralet fever and the Markwicks looked after her as she grew up. It would be interesting to find the 1881 census info.

Hi Val

A possiblity for George and Sarah on the 1841?
HO107 1111 7/20 8
Lovel Farm, Cuckfield
George Lewery, 34 LB (I presume Labourer)
Sarah Lewery, 35
James Lewery, 12
George Lewery, 10
Maria Lewery, 7
Elizabeth Lewery, 5
Sarah Lewery, 1
Mary Lewery, 2 weeks

I will have a look at my records and see if these fit in, I have Lewrys from the Cuckfield area who married into my Johnson family.

The 1851 census for the George and Sarah above is

HO107 1642 201 21
Brook Street, Cuckfield
George Lewry, 45 Farm Labourer born Cuckfield
and includes
Mary Lewry, daughter, 10 born Cuckfield

If this rings any bells I can give you the rest of the family.

A marriage for George and Sarah

George Lewery and Sarah Heasman
10 October 1828 at Slaugham botp by banns
Witnesses - Jn Juniper and Baraba Ayers

Now that is interesting because some of my Lewry siblings marry Junipers.
