No Kate. Positive sightings of both.......lol
John Nation died in 1859....have the cert.
Benjamin Mepham senior died 1883 aged 71.
Phoebe went on to marry Thomas McDermott......in 1860 under the name of Phoebe Mappin (Mepham) so obviously didn't marry John Nation at all.
It's only Amelia's second name is bugging me.
Can't imagine too many men allowing their partners to name a child after the ex......
