Lloyd London Mystery

More progress 

Is the marriage the one that you had found earlier (Pallots?). You might want to post the clip for witnesses on the deciphering board to see what people think of William's surname.

The third child, Henry (after Eliza's father?), where was he born?

Henry was baptised on 22 may 1836 at St Marys, Beddington, Sutton, Surrey,
abode was Mitcham,
 JBL was still calling himself a gentleman 

As for the marriage, yes its the one mentioned in Pallots at St Dunstan,Cheam, Surrey,
I have posted it on the deciphering board and theres a few replies but still not sure

[fallingonabruise]

where did those 3 children end up?
By the 1841 census they would be
Eliza 10
Benjamin 7
Henry 5,
and on JBL's banns he  is a widower by 1842

....but we know he really wasn't a widower in 1842  Remember the marriage with Lavinia never got to the altar after banns...twice  Also the reference in the Bankruptcy Court to a letter received from a 'wronged wife'.....

hmmm forgot bout that,
so where was Eliza and the kids?

Hi Springbok,
I have already posted that link on here 
I had wondered before if JBL had gone over to America with his son but he would have been either too old or dead 

[Springbok]

Sorry, missed that post!

Fascinating piece of history though, and it does make one wonder if there is a familial connection somewhere along the line?
