Just an update on George Lewis!

I strongly believed that he was the son of Joseph Edwin Lewis and his wife, Elizabeth Johnson, born in Liverpool in 1891.

He was with his mother and stepfather, Hugh Crawford, in 1911, living in 53 Lissant Street, where he was employed as a 'sugar boiler.'

He enlisted with the South Lancashire Regiment on the 2nd September 1914, naming his mother, Elizabeth as his next of kin, and stated in his will, dated July 1st 1915, that he wanted his property and effects left to his sister, Edith, of 53 Lissant Street, Edgehill Liverpool.
He was wounded in action whilst in Gallipoli, suffering a gun shot wound to the shoulder on the 15th August 1915, and was invalided back to England on the 23rd August 1915.
He was declared a deserter on the 16th October 1915.

We presumed that this particular George married Margaret Eastham (nee Hall) in 1919, and can be found together in 1921 and in 1939.

However...I received some information from Lancashire Archives (who hold the record), and have been told that George named his father as John Lewis - not Joseph Edwin.

I'm now thinking that two men, both named George Lewis, both around the same age, worked for Tate & Lyle, possibly at the same time.

We've still awaiting George's daughter's birth certificate which, hopefully, will reveal his occupation more precisely.

There is a George Lewis 10 with a father John 40 who is on the 1901 census. 

George born late 1890

John is a widower and labourer (sugar) in 1901 but neither John nor George have sugar occupations in 1911.

Yep, seem that - 1911 they are a bricklayers labourer and a painter's labourer - very frustrating!!

There is another George Lewis (1890) with parents in 1891 (John Lewis born c1861) and his wife, Sarah (also born c1861), and a daughter, Elizabeth Jane.
The same family can be found in 1901, but George is not with them.

However, in 1891, strangely, they are living next door to an Elizabeth Poland - quite apt!!

Hi folks

We now have Dorothy May Lewis' birth certificate.
Her mother was named as Mary Agnes Lewis formerly Poland of 1 Albion Terrace.
I've had the right woman now for a while...she was born Mary Agnes Lawless and married Henry Poland on the 11th December 1905.
He had died prior to 1921 as she was listed as widowed on this census and was living (joy of joys) in 1 Albion Terrace, West Derby.

However, Dorothy's father wasn't George Lewis, as we thought, it was Thomas Lewis, a sugar factory labourer.

That's all I know of him, as it was Mary Agnes that regsitered her daughter's birth.

If anyone has any clue?

Thanks

There is a Thomas J Lewis, b 1887, with a son, Samuel b 1912, on the 1921 census who worked at a Sugar Refinery.

There is no wife with him but it states that he is married, although Samuel's mother was dead.

There were two Samuel Lewises born c1912 in Liverpool. One had a mother named Lennon and the other Jevons.

One Thomas J Lewis married Edith Lennon in 1911 and the other married Mildren Jevons in 1912.

Thomas and Mildred were together in 1921 and one tree states that Thomas, the husband of Edith, died in 1918.

I am not sure who the Thomas at the refinery was.
