Hi, Sorry to be so slow in replying - I'm new to this! Thank you so much for replying. I'm grateful for any input.
I was always baffled by the IGI record of Julia Augusta Pyne being the daughter of John Pyne and Mary Ann, baptised 1838 Chelsea, as the name is not that common and the date and place is correct. Also there's the difficulty of her brother William Rowland Pyne (I wonder if you are right about the John Lionel Rowland Pyne being the same person?) And what about her sister Rowena Maria Pyne who was born in Brighton the same as William Rowland - she is not mentioned in the IGI. Yes I have got the marriage certs. and all three give William Lionel Pyne as the father, but he is nowhere to be found in any census or BMD, although it doesn't state that he is deceased on any of the marriage cert. in the 1860s. Apparently Marianne Caldwell remarried in 1843. She is incidentally living in Upton, Bucks. in 1861 at the same time as Julia Augusta Miller (nee Pyne) is living in the next village of Datchet, Bucks. Julia gives her address as Upon in 1860 on ther marriage cert., so I am assuming this Marianne Caldwell is also Julia's mother. As Julia's husband, Edward Colebrooke Miller was in the Royal Navy, perhaps William Lionel Pyne had some connection with the services also. Who knows!
