I'd appreciate comments and views on the following brickwall:
1 Charles 1815 St Mary, St Marylebone George & Mary Serv
2 Mary 1816 St James, Westminster George & Mary Ann Porter Queen St
3 James Richman 1818 St James, Westminster George & Mary Servant 20 Queen St
4 John George 1821 St John the Evangelist George & Mary Ann Servant Frederick St
5 George William 1823 St James, Piccadilly George & Mary Ann Servant 10 Heddon St
6 Sarah Margaret 1825 St James, Westminster George & Mary Ann Servant Swallow Street
7 Elizabeth Ann 1827 St James Westminster George & Mary Ann Servant Little Vine St
8 Samuel Orange 1829 St James, Westminster George & Mary Ann Servant Swallow Street
The above are possible siblings of my ancestor Samuel Orange Lloyd. The object is to identify his parents and siblings and identify any cuckoos in the nest:
A. All the above baptisms occurred within one to three months of birth except John George Lloyd for whom there is a 7 month gap. He was also the only one to be baptised at St John the Evangelist which was either in Upper Holloway or Waterloo.
B. St James, Westminster and St James, Piccadilly are the same church.
C. Queen Street is in Mayfair, Westminster a short distance from Piccadilly. Frederick Street is in Camden, St Pancras. Heddon Street, Swallow St and Little Vine St are at the lower end and west of Regent Street and Swallow Street joins Piccadilly – all three are in Westminster making Frederick Street (John George Lloyd) the odd one out.
D. Only the last six children were given middle names. Note: Samuel Orange Lloyd frequently gave his name as Samuel William Lloyd.
E. Neither Charles, Mary, John George or Elizabeth Ann have been traced. Sarah Margaret died in 1827 which leaves James Richman and Samuel Orange as the only children successfully traced - George William Lloyd-two found in 1841 but the parents are not a match.
F. On the marriage certificate for Samuel William (Orange) Lloyd in 1859, his father is shown as George William Lloyd, Brass Founder.
H. On the marriage certificate for James Richman Lloyd in 1845 Dublin, Ireland. His father is shown as George Lloyd, Sailor!!!
I. James Richman Lloyd not found in 1841 or 1851. In 1861 he is in Finsbury, London with his wife and children. All surnames are shown as Lloydd and the birth registration of one of his children was given as Lloydd. James Richman Lloyd’s only male child was christened James Richman Lloyd in 1860, but his birth registration was given as James Richmond Lloyd suggesting an element of illiteracy.
Any ideas?
