Hi Audrey,

I don't have your John and Mary, but I do have a John Sewell b. 1834 and his wife Mary b. 1832, who had two children John and Elizabeth who had a son Henry b 1888 who is my paternal grandfather. These sewells were based in Cumberland in places like Bigrigg, Irton and Egremont.

I also located another John Sewell who I think must be a cousin b 1833 in Egremont, father Samuel, mother Elizabeth and brother William and sister Elizabeth.

Maybe there are connections?

Thanks and regards,
Bette Sewell
