Trying to find Seabrook

I'm trying to find the connection between (a) Frederick Seabrook Sellers, b. 1806 to John Sellers, waterman, and Elizabeth; in Westminster, London; and (b) Frederick Seabrook Williams, and I think this may be the same person. Frederick Sellers became a paper-hanger and decorator but appears to have changed surname to Williams, and had a period as a comedian (1851 census) inbetween being a decorator. Wife (or partner) was Rebecca, nee Underhill. The family lived in London - Westminster till the 1850s, then moved to the Mile End/Shoreditch area. The middle name Seabrook continued with his son, Walter Sellers Williams, later known (I think) as Walter Lacey Sellers, who named his own son Walter Seabrook Sellers. Another son, John, is my great-grandfather, born possibly as John Williams c. 1851 (have found baptism record but no birth cert), married in the name of John Sellers to Sarah Wiltshire 1874. If anyone can shed any light on this I'd be very grateful - Jan |
