Hi
In my One Name Study data I have a Charles Lewry born 1827 West Chiltington but he married a Mary ann in 1854 in the Godstone reg dist. Their children were Richard 1854, James 1858, Thomas 1861 and John 1861 all born Brighton.
BUT in my notes I have: "Although census give Charles wife as Mary Ann, freebmd give his wife as Esther Newington. The marriage was in Godstone dist. In 1861 Charles is a bricklayers labourer and is living at 69 Woburn Place Brighton. In 1871 Charles is a bricklayers clerk and is living at 25 Washington street Brighton in a shared house.
It is possible that Charles emigrated to the US between 1871 and 1881. This seems to throw up the possibility that Charles had 2 or even 3 wives !!
