I think there were 3 brothers TWITCHIN who were raising their families in Newbury in 1851 ... they were;
Joseph who married Elizabeth 1826
Benjamin who married Emma 1839
Richard who married Emma 1840

Joseph was a 'bargeman' who could have been aboard a barge in 1851 although his home was in Cheap Street.

Where the others lived I have'nt determined but I do know that an aunt named Eliza TWITCHIN was probably the proprietor of the 'Black Bear Inn' in Market Place in 1851 and may have some of the family there at the same time. 
It may be also that an older branch of the family headed by Andrew TWITCHIN and wife Sarah were living in Newbury at the same period.
Most of the recorded events Baptisms Marriages and Burials happened in St Nichlas' Parish.
Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks, joboy. 

As a consequence of your information, I believe Hannah is a contender for a niece of the Sarah LEWIS who married 'my' William WESTALL in 1820.  In Toomer's 1815 Census James LEWIS 17 and Sarah 12 are recorded in the household of Francis & Sarah LEWIS at West Mills.

At last I'm inching towards a breakthrough into 18th Century Berkshire on one branch of my family .....  ;D

Hello DeeJay,
The 1841 has Hannah Lewis looking to be a daughter of James 45 and Sarah 56 with Eliza 25, Sarah 14, Francis 12, Hannah 10, and Benjamin 8 in that order.  That is the Hannah that I have as 2nd wife of Benjamin Twitchin. My link is with one of their daughters.
Yours

Hi Vicwinann
It's a small world!  I found an advert yesterday in a 1796 edition of the Reading Mercury pertaining to an auction of freehold estate fronting Northbrook Street, Newbury, comprising 3 substantial dwelling-houses, one of which was occupied by  F. LEWIS, Linen-draper, and 5 tenements adjoining let to good tenants, one of whom was Francis LEWIS paying a rent of £9 p.a.

Serendipity?

Hi DeeJay,
These things tend to come all of a rush after weeks, months, trying to find stuff.

Hi

I've just started constructing my family tree and came across this thread. My grandmother was Linda Mary Twitchen (I've come across various names for her, but this is what my granddad said her name was and I have an old diary of hers that she has written her name in) born 1873. I'm not sure how she fits in with everyone here, but Benjamin Twitchin and Hannah Lewis were her parents. She married Thomas Cook and had 7 children. Although my granddad moved away from Newbury when he got married, my parents moved there when they got married and so I grew up their too. I'd love to learn more about my family and the places they lived and worked in my hometown.

It was Benjamin's second marriage (the first was to Emma Bradley 17-Feb-1839) to Hannah Lewis 26-Feb-1860 and they had the following children; Sarah Jane Twitchin, Frederick Baron Twitchin, Emily Twitchin, Ada Katherine Twitchin, Jessica Florence Twitchin, Mary Linda Twitchin, Ernest Richard Twitchin.
I guess that the Mary Linda could be yours.
Not sure what happened to Benjamin's first wife.
