John Lye and Sophia Crowder married in 1827 and lived in Middlesex, England and had at least 6 children, including Arthur (my Gt G/father). I have been unable to verify when he died, but think it might be around 1848, in which case Sophia would have been left alone to care for her children. Does anyone have information about when he died - or how Sophia and the children would have coped after that - if in fact that date is correct???
