Oh Gosh..... there is another researcher out there, who has a tree on A****  - it looks to me as if she is descended from of of Anthony's sisters (I'm picking Florence, but could be Helena).   She has all this same info re the census etc. Including that:

Patrick HAYES age 44 widower, mariner fireman (father Jeremiah, Labourer Deceased)
married:
Jane LEWIS 39 widow, (father Patrick McAuley (deceased, soldier) both of Rockingham St

The researcher has no information on (or online, at least) for  Anthony (Antonio), except for the Census 1891, 1901, 1911 .   Similarly nothing else for George LEWIS - thought she does say George LEWIS and Jane McAULEY married 1879 St Aidens Liverpool ( but I can't find that on indexes? and I'm doubting it because of the older children's birthplaces and age gaps from Florence to Helena etc) . There are a couple of tree errors (A** 'hints' added in by mistake,  which are not right - Florence's supposed baptism being one of them...

But guess who Florence LEWIS definitely married in 1900, Liverpool....  Arthur INESON !

Check this out - all about Florence:

http://www.GenesReunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/957850
It appears that initially her descendants thought she was born in Greece too… and they thought her father might be really named: Antonio Georgius Luciarnous

(it also point out Florence was 10 in 1891, not 14 as transcribed on the index - and just checked the image, she is 10 :-)

More trees on A. One of them has:
Anthony LEWIS born 21 Apr 1889 (but nothing more and no source for this date)
Father: George LOUIS b 1839 Greece, d 25 Nov 1932,Liverpool age 53.
Mother: Jane McAULEY, b abt 1858 Ireland, d 1917 Liverpool age 59
Other facts incorrect (incl that Helena died 1901)

So was Eugene (probably Ευγενιος) George's first child? If so this could pinpoint that George's father's name was Ευγενιος as the Greek naming pattern has the first 2 children born named after the father's parents.

Can not find a birth gor Eugene in UK.

Wow!

I can only say thank you immensely to everyone who's pitched in thus far. I'm very humbled by your efforts for a complete stranger. What an amazing site this is.

I met up with my wife's dad this afternoon/evening and showed him all the evidence thus far. He's now vowed to get involved (hurrah!) and collect more info from rellies.

I'm still sifting through what's been posted thus far, so I apologise if I can't give individual thanks to everyone, but rest assured I will contact everyone in due course to record my gratitude.

The hunt's still on for George Lewis' original name and location, but I'm hoping that I now have a fighting chance.

Thank you all, and I'll let you know as and when any new developments occur.

Yours, most gratefully and sincerely,
Si

One quick question - this is for AMBLY - what is the A**** reference? Ancestry.com?

I've followed the GenesReunited link, and I'll be in touch with that (re)searcher tomorrow.

Thanks again all. I'm just wondering now how to follow George Lewis back to his native Greece. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Si

PS - you chaps really are the best.
