Find Ancestors

I have Benjamin Boyce and Lydia Deller, married 22 Mar 1818 in St Mary at Lambeth, first child was Sarah Ann, born 17 Dec 1818, bap. 7 May 1820, Holy Trinity, Southwark. They are in the 1841 census where Ben is a Tailor, aged 50, living in Prince Street, Lambeth and Lydia is 45. Ben died in 1843 and there is no sign of Lydia in subsequent census, so all I can prove of their ancestry is that they were not from Surrey. If anyone has them in their tree please contact me, as he was my GGGGrandfather through his son Benjamin bt. 18 Jul 1824, St Mary, Lambeth. I would like to link up with descendants to look for his ancestors and relatives.

Regards

Mike

Just found Lydias' death on freeBMD in 1848 as Lydia BOYER, obviously a typo as it is the same on the list, but the cert is for Lydia Boyce.

Do you have all the childrens baptisms?

I do have the childrens baptisms, they are all dead & buried at St Mary at Lambeth by the 1841census - except Mary and Benjamin, I think that Mary marries Charles Reeves, but I lose them after the 1851 census. There is a Mary Reeves of Princes Street, Lambeth listed as the informant on Lydia Boyces death cert.

is this the 1851 census?
