[dovely]

I am hoping that someone on  here can help me before I go completely crazy.
I can find no trace whatsoever of =

mary ann lycett  dob 1805, baptised 1815 london
catherine lycett dob 1808, baptised  1815 london
 on the 1841 census,  by that time catherine had two illegitimate sons( dob's, 1830 &1834)

I appreciate that mary may have married, but catherine never married.Also their parents william and ann lycett.
the whole family is nowhere to be found, I know some people for various reasons are not on some of the census returns but surely it is weird that whole branches of the family ae missing.

hope someone can help
thank you dovely

Hi dovely,

Welcome to Rootschat.

In what parish(es) were Mary Ann and Catherine baptised? What were the names of Catherine's children and where were they baptised?

Hi,
 Catherine and Mary Ann were baptised at St Bartholomew London the great on 22nd December 1815.

Catherines children were, Henry Finer Lycett born 1830 ??, no baptism for him, and, Thomas Finer Lycett born1834
baptised 1st october 1838 at St James Clerkenwell.

Sorry, that should read St Bartholomew The Great for Catherine and Mary

Hi,
 I expect you have them in 1851, Catherine and Thomas (transcribed Sychett) with Horatio Finer in Islington.

Hi Cathy,
yes I have no problem finding  Catherine and Thomas later on, however I can't find Mary Ann anywhere.

I can find Thomas's father in 1841, but they are not living with him.

I have found a marriage for a Mary Ann Lycett to John Kingdon 22nd november 1831 at St Mark, Kenninton Middlesex,  but although a Lycett was a witness I cannot make out the first name, so can't be sure it is right.

The John Kingdon Mary Ann Lycett married in 1831 was the son of George Kingdon of Garston, Frome Sellwood, Somerset.   I understand the marriage was witnessed by Benjamin Bayly Kingdon, his brother.    John Kingdon was a Baptist  missionary, in Jamaica (from 1832 - she accompanied him to Savannah la Mar, where Baptists were under persecution) Belize, the USA, and ultimately, under the auspices of the Baltimore, Maryland, Baptists,  Liberia, where he died in 1854.   Family deeds associated with Longleat suggest his death was not known to his kin in England until 1865.   His sister Lucy also went to Jamaica to run a training school for teachers under anti-slavery auspices until she married William Wemyss Anderson there in 1834.   Benjamin Bayly Kingdon was a C of E stipendiary Curate in St Dorothy parish in Jamaica in the late 1840s and wrote a sanitary report on the island later.

I'm sorry if I haven't picked this up, but I'd very much like to know more about Mary A Lycett - not least whether she was associated with the London anti-slavery movement, but even her address and parentage would be useful.

Apparently not YOUR Mary Ann Lycett - pity.   Many thanks, anyway.
