Liston, Rewers (Trolle)
« on: Tuesday 26 July 05 18:00 BST (UK) »
My g grandmother Charlotte Liston married Jon Rewers (he was from Sweden, changed his name from Trolle) in 1890 or so.  My grandfather John Rewers born 1892 I believe. 

I need two pieces of information if anyone can help.  Firstly, I can find no other relatives of Charlotte Liston.   (In 1901 census Charlotte shown as "CHARLES" Rewers).  Can anyone else find anything on her and/or her family in earlier census?

Charlotte passed away aged 41 in 1905.  Jon Rewers then married a woman named Clara ?.  Can anyone find this marriage record.  Any assistance much appreciated.

This would appear to be Charlotte in 1891 with her brother - before marriage.  Places tie in quite nicely with the 1901 return

Every little helps a lot, Meliora, thanks.  I have marriage date as Aug. 23, 1891.  This is a branch that I have had some difficulty following ... poor Charlotte's grave has even been moved for city development.  Jon Rewers name was Trolle, I have already once asked if anyone knew why, if immigrants often did so, and recently my auntie told me it was just because he was estranged from his family in Sweden.  The "upper crust" I am told, but apparently the Rewers were extremely poor in England.  Charlotte was described as "sickly." 
Little Eleanor Alice was born c 1895, died 1896.  Would appreciate more accurate dates if you can find them.

Charlotte's brother John (thanks, EC) was aged 31 London Blackwall.  Does anyone have an accurate listing to see if he had a family?  b. London Blackwall, St. Pancras, ... Maker.  I am wondering if he is a watchmaker, as there is a William aged 35, perhaps an uncle?

I have also found a VICTOR Liston (perhaps connected to my grandfather John Victor Rewers) listed as a boarder in 1881 census, aged 40, b. Middlesex, "vocal comedian (actor)", I am thinking perhaps this is Charlotte and John's father but not sure how to trace anything further ...

Hi Janine

If you have the marriage date, do you hav the cert?  That should give CHarlotte fathers name which would help a lot trying to identify possibilites for earlier census
