I am hoping that someone on the list may be able to provide with some information or advice regarding JOSEPH SEWELL of Liverpool. His daughter ANN SEWELL married PETER SUMPTON (master mariner) at St. Peters on 22 December 1827, Ann was recorded as a minor married with the consent of her father, JOSEPH SEWELL. Ann's death record in 1836 suggests that she was born in 1808. I am looking for further information on Joseph and his wife. I have found a JOSEPH SEWELL in the 1832 Poll Book who was also a master mariner giving him a possible link with Peter Sumpton - and many others in Liverpool!. He lived in "Robert Street North." The only other promising record that I have found is in the 1841 census. This was JOSEPH SEWELL (68), mariner, and his wife, Ann (65). They lived at Workington (I could not read the street name which was something like Prustgate). There was also a WILLIAM GLOVER (7) in the house. This couple could have been the JOSEPH SEWELL and ANN SIMON who married at Workington on 13 November 1794. At the moment I have no established fact other than the father's name. I would be delighted if anyone could provide me with any assistance on this family. Tony O'Grady Melbourne Australia.

Hi Tony, nothing specific, but you may be aware that there was a big Quaker family of Sewells (including Anna Sewell, who wrote the children's classic 'Black Beauty')? Hope this may be helpful ...

Hello Tony The only suggestion I can make is you try researching the master mariner connection. There is a research guide I found by googling that may be useful: http://www.mariners-l.co.uk/UK19thCSeamen.html Good luck Marion, Sussex -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony O'Grady Sent: 16 August 2012 22:58 To: [email protected] Subject: [ENG-LIV] JOSEPH SEWELL I am hoping that someone on the list may be able to provide with some information or advice regarding JOSEPH SEWELL of Liverpool.

Thanks very much to those who have responded to my request about JOSEPH SEWELL. Rosemary, the details that you sent prompted me to correlate them with the details that I had on PETER SUMPTON's voyages. It was very sad to see that Ann, his wife, was 19 when she married and 27 when she died. In the meantime she had four children - one of whom died. Her husband was away for about seven months each year and was only home for one of the births and not for the death of their son, John. Peter returned home from Canada only three weeks before Ann died. Her cause of death was recorded as "decline". Marion, thanks for your reference to the mariners' research guide. It has been very helpful. Some years ago I spent a lot of time researching PETER SUMPTON's voyages. I am groaning at the thought of going down that path again. I don't think that there is any link with the Quaker Sewells Maria but I will certainly keep an eye out for that. Thanks again, Tony. .............................................................................................................................................
