    Provided by Joan Andersen via Joy Weston. There are a few mistakes - eg Edwin's daughter Winnie married Ted DAVIS FROM Durham.

  • Notes 
    • His grandson Charles Newton Weston says that his father, John Augustus, had three older brothers (who all regularly took liquor) so there would have to be at least two other children here. Robert Shorter Weston seems like an extremely good fit for various reasons noted on his page.
      However, Karen Brown, Emily Maude's great granddaughter, was told by her mother that there were only four children. The oldest Emily Maude, then John Augustus, then two daughters Lydia and Alice.
      So there is quite a bit of mismatch here, and all the sources seem good.

    1. [S97] Other Researchers - Karen Brown.
      Yvonne , this information was researched in 1966, so a lot of it could wrong. This is an extract of a letter mum had written to me , John and Mary Anne produced 4 children; Emily Maud who lived from 1869 to 1953, then came the only son, John, daughter Lydia and another daughter Alice.When I was very young indeed I recall the two other girls. Lydia was a school teacher and very frail looking, she used to carry around a tin of chocolates and I used to follow her around,not for the contents of the tin, but for the tin itself which was large,round and emblazoned with an austere picture of Queen Victoria!! Alice was short but very majestic looking and married Great Uncle Willie Prendergast,when she was a mere girl of 17 years. He was a well built gentleman , and as I recall had a stock of white hair and a fullsome white bristly moustache. He was attached to the staff of the Nizam of Hyderabad,as was his wife Alice, who was Lady-in-Waiting to one of the Nizam?s many wives. Dimly I can visualize Alice, who wore a navy blue coat and skirt and a black felt hat on her white head of hair. Oh, she always had a parasol. I think Willie died first,then Alice and then Lydia but these are very sketchy facts.

    2. [S7] BMD - British Library, Marriage, N2 vol 32 folio 321 c/7/15.
      Additions and amendments c/7/15 gives their ages - she is 20 which is correct, he is given as 29. If we are right about his birth in Aug 1822 he was actually 31. If he had been 22 in 1848 as he said when joining the army, he would have been 27 at his marriage.
