Find Ancestors

Can someone please help locate the Stevens family thats, the parents and sibblings of Lucy Stevens born 19th Mar 1797 London UK parents are recorded as William and Lucy Stevens. Sibblings found are John 1793, Francis William 1790 and William 1795, they were all born in London. Lucy married Theed Pearse 1817 Middlesex, Theed came from a very wealthy family, so I have a feeling that Lucy's family may also have wealth. I have all info on her marriage, children etc, but am unable to locate her parents, sibblings etc, so have hit a brick wall
Regards

Have you tried familysearch.org ?

Hi, yes I have tried a number of different avenues to no avail, I just cant seem to place them

Can you tell us where in London the children were born please

I dont know I just have their baptisms they were baptised at Saint Martin Pomeroy London

The marriage registration appears on Ancestry.

It says:

Theed Pearse the Younger of the Town of Bedford, a Bachelor, and Lucy Stevens of this Parish, a Minor, were married by Licence with the consent of William Stevens the natural and lawful father of the said minor on 29th day of July 1817
In the presence of Mrs Stevens and Lucy Pearse

The Parish was St. Mary-Le-Bone, Middlesex.

Yes I would have thought Lucy would have come from money as Theed's side extremely wealthy

This marriage could be parents William and Lucy

Stevens Williiam (fat. Stephens ~Coleman Street, London)
Lucy Augusta Arethusa Georgina Dickens
St. Georges Hanover Sq. 1789

(From Pallots Marriages)

If you have the births/baptisms can you post them as it would make things a bit clearer for us

I cant see a baptism for Francis William?

Did any of them survive long enough to reach a census?


Edit: There are a few William & Lucy marriages showing on Ancestry for around that time
