Sewell

[xs]

I'm trying to find the first marriage of a Benjamin Sewell.  His second marriage was to Elizabeth Simons in 1799 at St Mary's Lambeth where it states he is a widower.  Any help would be appreciated.

Do you know what year Benjamin was born ?
is born 1732 too early ??

ADDED - I presume Cumberland is a bit far from Lambeth ??

No, I can find no record of his birth but the Sewells that I am researching are all from the London area - Bethnal Green, Shoreditch , Hackney area etc.

Don't rule out that your Sewell's came from somewhere else; so many people came to London in the 17th and 18th centuries, for various reasons. My Dowdeswell line came from Gloucestershire in the 1600's, as did my wife's Bentham's from Bedfordshire; her Holloway's came from Herefordshire in the 1700's.

Thank you for your reply.  I'm certainly not ruling out that the Sewells have prob come from all over the country but am thinking that checking closer to home would be a logical start before I search further afield.   I could be lucky!  If not, I'll keep looking.
