Hi Audrey, We searched our Preston Old cemetery database (which is only a third complete), No Sewell`s unfortunately.
Try asking the question on LANCSGEN

Boris
many thanks for you reply
my great grandfather John Sewells family were origanally from Carlisle I believe is parents were only living in Preston for a short time they worked in the cotton mills from what I believe after John was born in 1828-29 they returned to carlisle I am almost sure I have them on the 1841 botchergate census confirmed all the siblings apart from John were born carlisle
