We are having great difficult in finding more information Arthur Lewis born 1850 Newbury, who is shown in 1851 census as living in Northbrook Street, Newbury with his mother Harriett Lewis (married) and siblings Edwin and Mary. Living next door are the Lipscombe family, who are related in some way. We cannot find a marriage for Harriett Lewis, nor can we find these family members in 1861 census, but have managed to find Arthur Lewis in 1871 census living with the Lipscombe family wherein it is stated that Arthur Lewis is a cousin.
Wondering if anyone can assist us please with Parish records, we need to find Harriett Lewis' maiden name, was she a Lipscombe or maybe a Pyke and also need her marriage records.
We do have marriage certificate for Arthur Lewis who later married Martha Chandler 14.4.1873 at Shaw, he was a Chair Maker at Newbury, and his father is shown as Arthur Lewis, a Millwright of Newbury.
If anyone can assist us to connect up with the Lipscombes maybe we might get a lead as to who Arthur Lewis' father was. We have found a Harriett Lewis who married Richard Lewis, not sure if this is the correct person, there could be a transcription error in the marriage certificate naming his father as Arthur Lewis.
