Eliza Sewell born in 1843 in Camberwell

Hello,
Although my name is Sewell, this is my ex-husband's name, he was brought up by a step-father, name of Sewell, so no blood ties.

By the greatest coincidence, researching my own family background, I have discovered that my maternal grandmother's mother was named Eliza Sewell!!

Eliza was born in 1843 in Camberwell, married Thomas Nathaniel Embury also born 1843, & they had 10 children between 1864 & 1881. 8 boys (I have names for them) & 2 girls Edith & Charlotte, my Grandmother.

I would love to find out more about Eliza, & whether she had siblings.

This is very exciting as I have 4 children & 7 grandchildren, some in Western Australia, & would love to be able to tell them of their Sewell history.

According to our records Eliza was one of nine children of James Robert Sewell and Caroline nee North. She was born 5 Mar 1842 St Georges Camberwell and marr in 1862 in Lambeth. Her grandfather was Robert Sewell, grandmother unknown.

Hello Diana,

Many thanks for info. on Eliza. Could you recommend the best sites to visit please, so that I can continue my searches. Fancy being a Sewell for 48 years without realising that in fact my children & I had the Sewell birthright.
