I've got Lydia Arkell marrying Henry Bren 30 Nov 1828 Christ Church Greyfriars Newgate London. They had 3 children Jane, Christopher John and Frederic Cornelius. The 1881 Census shows Lydia Brew sic aged 80 born Westminster with her daughter Jane and son-in-law William Mantle and their family. I found a George Arkel christened 1 Oct 1792 St James Westminster London - parents George Arkel and Susanna Palminter thought they could be possible parents. Can't find Lydia's birth anywhere. Any ideas? Christine |

Have you seen the Parish records for her marriage, could she be a widow, even perhaps of the younger George you found? |

Hi Gwyneth, Lydia's husband Henry Bren died 1878 Islington London Middlesex age 70. |

Have you viewed the entry of her marriage to Henry? Was she perhaps widow ARKELL when she married Henry? , ie Lydia ??? who married an ARKELL. Mr ARKELL then died making her Lydia ARKELL free to marry Henry. You wouldn't then find her birth under ARKELL. A look at the marriage entry would be my first step, to establish her status, spinster or widow. |

I agree with Gwyneth Go for the marriage details first otherwise it is a case of assuming which could completely throw you off course. |

Yes Gwyneth & Patricia, I should view the film to confirm these details. Thanks for your help. Christine |
