Harry Lewis and Philomene Demeester married at Poplar 1909 so there could well have been other children before Max although none in England/Wales from 1916 onwards. The Harry Lewis of Antwerp almost certainly is the same man - Demeester appears to be a Belgian name.

In 1926 Philomena (it could be Philomene) Lewis of 6, Kent Road, Wallasey returns from Montreal to Liverpool with son Max W Lewis. GRO Index shows birth of Max W C Lewis, Birkenhead, 1921, mother: Demeester. No marriage in GRO so must be overseas; maybe Canada.. There is a Harry Lewis of right age coming in from Canada in 1929 with an address in Antwerp. There is also in GRO marriage of Max W C Lewis to Joan E Hill at Uxbridge in 1921. Death of Philomene J L Lewis, born about 1875, 1964, Willesden Middlesex. So thanks again Julie. It looks like you have started me on a trail of what may well be the right family.

A Harry Lewis b 1871, mariner born Liverpool sails to Canada, destined for Montreal. He gives his next of kin as Philomena Lewis living at 6 Kent Road, Wallasey. He returned to England in 1927 and gives his address as 6 Kent Road. Regards Julie. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Railton Sent: 02 July 2012 15:58 To: [email protected]; ENG-CHS-WIRRAL Subject: [ENG-LIV] Harry LEWIS - mariner - ship 'Oakmore' The 1901 census shows Harry LEWIS, age 30, chief officer, on board the ship 'Oakmore' at Hornby Dock, Liverpool. The same census also shows him at home at 10, Dundee Grove, Wallasey. Does anyone know anything of Harry after 1901?
