Hi Stanley (and everyone else),

I am Tess's sis-in-law, and also a descendent of John Albert Sewell who was Flora's older brother. Have lots of information about him.

LOOK NO FURTHER STANLEY.
Flora was my grandmother´s sister. Am in contact with other Sewell descendants & have loads of info about them.
Incidentally, my dad was called Stanley after one of Flora/Elijah´s sons, his cousin.

Note to self "Always look for marriage first!"
But really the poster did say that they were aged 31 and 30 on the 1881 census.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

I can't see them on the 1881 census.
Edit: OK so I was looking on the 1881 census for a couple that didn't marry intil 1902.

Their marriage cert will give their fathers' names to help with searching back on the census.
