, letters in 1820-29,

wills ,1866 ,
Death 1866 off b.md.
Grave in Brompton cemetery.
The family got married in St Luke's Chelsea and were buried there 1841 but later were moved to Brompton cemetery.
WHY < have I got such a brickwall that i can't find her two daughters Lavina Frederica and Frances de Irujo who were born between 1815 and by 1821 when the father is denying paternity of two children .......
Lavinia obviously never left the Fulham / Chelsea area .
Mind you i don't think i have ever looked at any catholic records .
By 1840 the family was poverty stricken and later became staunch chartists and friends of Marx .
Hardly the Spanish catholic nobles they had descended from . any ideas ?. thanks for your help everyone .
