Read family, Kensington & Landon family

[deeni]

Hi. I found a family bible given as a present from Eleanor Landon to her grand-daugher, Cecilia Read.
Cecilia Mary Read (nee Landon) was my gr. grandmother.She married John Randal Plunkett in Kensington in 1878.
Her father was Thomas Laurence Read, a Surgeon, as was his father, Thomas Read. 
Cecilia's mother was Cecilia London and her maternal grandfather was William Landon who married Eleanor Parker.
I have a picture of Arthur Read, Cecilia's brother.
If anyone has information on either the Read or Landon families,I'd really love to hear from you.

Thank you so much for all that info.  Besides having the addresses which  tie in with some certs I found some years ago its interesting hearing about the forgery case, etc.

Have  you got any dates to go with the names, I`ve found the marriage announcment in 1878,
The Standard (London, England), April 19, 1856
On the 17th inst at Brook- green Church Thomas Lawrence only son of Thomas Read Esq. of Kensington to Cecilia twin daughter of William Landon Esq. of New-road, Hammersmith

1841
1841 has a  Cecilia and Fanny Landon both aged 4 living at 11 Halfmoon Street, St Geo Hanover , Westminster, no other members of the Landon family are there, but it looks like two servants Mary Hoale and Jane Edwards both aged 20 are in the same dwelling.

I can`t seem to be able to find her parents in 1841 or any of them at all in 1851 .

Thank you once again.  I may have got the birth dates wrong of the children of Thomas Read and Cecilia Landon (I didn't know she was a twin). But I did have the address as 11 Petersham Tce. Queensgate (which I don't think exists any longer)
What I have is Cecilia Mary born 1857. (my ggm)
Emma Jane 1860
Bertrand 1864
Arthur 1867 (have a picture of him)
Mary 1871
another 1876

I don't know anything about Cecilia Landon's family except that her  father was William Landon, a Woollen Draper who lived at 11 Half Moon St. London.  He married Eleanor Parker of St. James, Piccadilly in 1836.  She was the one who gave the diary to her gt.gr.daughter. It's hard to understand why they do not appear in the 1841 and 1851 census. Cecilia lived at Inver Villa, New Road Hammersmith at the time of her marriage in 1856.
