For example, there is no birth reg for an Annette Sewell around 1878ish. The census is so unclear it could be any name really. So no point in looking for what happened to her if she didnt exist!

There is a Jane Anette Sewell born in Hackney in Sept 1879,would that be any good?

To answer my own question  No it's not any good- she marries Henry Bayntun in Edmonton in 1899 and her dad is Thomas Sewell. Back to the drawing board

After having gone over and over the info you have so kindly given me, I now think that the marriage of Annie Sewell in 1897 to Thomas Murray is in fact the one referred to on 1881 census as Annette, her age is about right, also on the 1911 census she is 'Ann' staying with her mother. Although her fathers occupation is given on her marriage as a book seller this also appears on the 1901 census. perhaps he had retired from his occupation or doing a temporary job at the time ? It would be agreat coincidence if there were two William Sewells of the same age and with the same family !!
When William married Annie his first daughter Annie was only a child so when Ann/Annette was born they may have named her Ann but called her Annette to tel them apart.
I notice on the 1911 census that one of the children died I wonder which one - could have been Annie born 1887. What do you think?

I have been trying without success to find the husband of my great aunt Annie Sewell. Annie was born c1887, her parents were William Sewell and Annie Sewell nee Grainger.According to family stories Annie lost her husband on the Titanic. I thought that I had found their marriage (Annie Kate Sewell to Henry A Allen in 1911) also a Henry Allen did die on the Titanic.I later found that the names of Annie Kate's parents were not William and Annie. So, it would appear that there were two Annie Sewell's who lost their husbands on the Titanic.
Who did my Annie marry? I have been looking for a few years now.

Just in case this is the daugher of the 1st marriage....

Martha Mary Ann daughter of William James & Mary Ann Sewell a marble polisher of 9 Drummond St born Jan 9 1869 was baptised Jan 5th 1874 at St Pancras.

She may be the 2yr old Mary A Sewell 'visiting' William & Martha Moyes in 1871

and the 12yr old Annie in the 1881 census

Thank you, yes, this is the elder Annie, I found her as being Annie Martha !!
With both her and Annie/Annette being known by different names I am now beginning to wonder if the youngest Annie (born a1887) also had a different name, maybe that is why I can't find her marriage, I know that she was known as Anniie.

Just so we have the full picture here,when Harriet Louisa Sewell married Frederick Murray on 12th April 1912,the witnesses were Alice Louisa Taylor and William Sewell.

Her dad is given as William James Sewell stone mason.

William James Sewell marries Mary Ann Holmes in 1864.

1871 they are in Ernest Street St Pancras.

W J Sewell head 31 marble polisher b Holborn
M A Sewell wife 29 b Holborn
Mary E dau 2 b Boro' ( this seems to be the Martha Mary Ann b 1869 that Dawn found yesterday)

RG10/203 Folio 80 Page 63

They don't seem to stick with any of the names they give their kids in day to day life!
