Lewry - Marsfield

[kerryb]

I have searched on Ancestry and these do seem to be the only George and Sarah Lewry/Lewery and they had a daughter Mary.

Do you have any more details about Mary to help pin her down?

Hi
No more details of mary only birth cert of her daughter born 1867 without father named daughter alice mary born village of Maresfield . I saw the workhouse Alice but it would only make her in her teens so let that one ride.

Hi Val

It does seem too much a coincidence to have another George Lewry married to a Sarah and had a Mary.

I will see what I can find.  Lewry seems to have been big in the Cuckfield down to Brighton area, but Mary could well ahve travelled East.

Hmm  just to confuse things totally

There is a Mary Lewry born in Maresfield 1839 to Daniel Lewry and Mary Martin.  I went to the Sussex Weald site and found that.  But that doesn't explain where the names Sarah and George came from. 

Of course as Daniel's grandfather was born in Keymer they could be distantly related and the Sarah and George's Mary went to Maresfield to work with distant cousins??

I can't find any other census records for Mary and presume she must have died before 1871, perhaps of Scarlet Fever.  I'll try and trace this other Mary and see if I can rule her out.

Well I don't seem to be getting very far, except my theory is that if Alice was the child of the Mary born in Maresfield, daughter of Daniel and Mary.  Daniel died in 1839 and Mary remarried a James Turner.

Now if Mary had given birth to Alice and then died of Scarlet Fever wouldn't Alice have gone to grandparents who are around for at least the 1871 census? 

Anyway let me know what you think
