Hi Peter From the 1851 census HO107 1711 167 Parish of Tewin Poplars Green Richard Wiltsher abt 1790 Tewin, Hertfordshire, England Head Tewin Hertfordshire Maria Wiltsher abt 1791 Hertingfordbury, Hertfordshire, England Wife Tewin Hertfordshire Willm Wiltsher abt 1825 Tewin, Hertfordshire, England Son Tewin Hertfordshire Emma Wiltsher abt 1833 Tewin, Hertfordshire, England Daughter Tewin Hertfordshire Chas Wiltsher abt 1837 Tewin, Hertfordshire, England Son Tewin Hertfordshire Mary Page abt 1819 Tewin, Hertfordshire, England Daughter Tewin Hertfordshire Eliza Page abt 1841 Hertingfordbury, Hertfordshire, England Daughter Tewin Hertfordshire Emma Page abt 1847 Hertingfordbury, Hertfordshire, England Daughter Tewin Hertfordshire Frederick Page abt 1849 Hertingfordbury, Hertfordshire, England Son Tewin Hertfordshire Now unless she was an elephant I suspect theres something amiss as she has two further children in tow born after you say the father was transported? Surely would be some coincidence if this was not your family? In 1861 there is a Mary PAGE b1839 Tewin working as a general servant for a Mr John STEWARDSON and wife In 1871 there is a Mary STEWARDSON b1839 Tewin as head of houshold with daughter Eliza 7 and son Edwin 5, living in Islington Also in 1871 there is a John STEWARDSON same birth place and birth year as 1861 census living in Clerkenwell on his own a widower.
