Alice Isabel, a daughter of George Kewney and Anne Rayson, married my great great uncle Alexander Shannan Stevenson in 1875 and I can provide details of their descendants if of interest. I have an oil painting of Anne Rayson as a young girl by William Etty RA.

2. Alice Isabel, b. 1846, m 1st Albert Knothe who d. 1871, and 2nd Alexander Shannan Stevenson. For their descendants visit www.genealogysource.com/html/d0020/g0000028.html
3. Annie Louisa d. young 18 March 1856
4.Gertrude Annie, b ca 1858, unmarried in 1917
5. Blanche Ethel, b ca 1858 (probably a twin), m. Rev Samuel Wild, vicar of Dunholme, Lincs and had:
a. Evelyn, m. Ken Rice-Oxley and had a daughter Virginia who m. John .......
b. Ruth
c. Hugh, m. Marian Esther ..... and had Janet Wild who m. Dare Watkins and has Andrew, Fiona, Simon and Sophie Watkins.

Hi Hew,

Can we get back in touch please. We exchanged information years ago but I'd be interested to see if you had any further Kewney information. I'd also be interested in seeing that painting of Anne Rayson at some point if at all possible.

Best regards,

Nick.

Hi Nick
Good to hear from you again. I've made no new discoveries on the Kewneys but I'm going to attach an image of the portrait of Anne Rayson by William Etty RA. Hope you like it.
Best wishes

Thank you ever so much for this Hew . I remember you sending me a picture of it before, but it wasn't as good quality as this one. This is fantastic. Thank you ever so much - a nice picture of my ggg grandmother! I did do some research on William Etty and it looks like he was famous for painting nudes generally. There's also some books on his paintings. It makes you wonder how he came to paint her.

Many thanks for this. Much appreciated. Nick.
