Can't find anything as yet, but thought you might like to know he lived around the corner from my mum.......:d

Falkland Rd or Weedington Rd?

There's a few trees on Ancestry but strangely the daughter my OH is descended from, his grandmother, isn't one of David's children on any of them but its the right man they start his children in 1885! OH's grandmother Annie Elizabeth was born in 1883!

[peppie]

I saw the other trees and wondered...

Falkland Rd, Weedington Rd is near where OH grew up :d
I've checked the newspapers I've got access to also nowt there. :(

I don't know whether to contact them, there's quite a few of them but looking at their trees I don't think they know as much as me and seem to have missed some integral information that is readily available on the internet! Of course it might be that they have other stuff but its just not on their online public trees!

There are some Lewsey baps on FreeREG, don't know if you have seen them? There is a Robert, but no David as yet. Looks as if only up to 1837 has been transcribed.

[maggie_4_7]

That's one of his ancestors - Robert born 1784 in Birdbrook, Essex, England - David Lewsey's Great Grandfather David's father was also called Robert and he died very young not long after David was born (haven't really looked at the deaths thats just by the census and widow state of Priscilla in 1871), David was his only child and as far as I know Priscilla's too, although David made up for it he had loads of children :d

[Merry]

Oh, I didn't mean the 1784 one (I didn't see that!) I meant this one - David's father:

ooooh I've not seen that - that is David's father, grandfather and grandmother's name John Lewsey and Mary Arnold and its extracted :)

Thank you.

The Lewsey name is ripe for mistranscription.

I sort of stopped using the LDS because all I was finding was submitted records and I wasn't happy with them.

[Merry]

I expect they just transcribed some more since you last looked. From memory there were about 10 or 12 baptisms for Lewsey in Finchingfield on FreeREG. I didn't look at marriages or burials.

[maggie_4_7]

I will go and check it out but yes you're probably right I've done a lot of names to death on there and nothing and then suddenly they appear. But I forget to keep checking or get sidetracked.

Edit to say:

I realise you Merry were using FreeReg and I was thinking it was the LDS for some reason apologies for me not paying attention - cross purposes but thank you I am now looking on FreeREG too.
