Lucy Missant & Lavina Smith are both recorded in 1851 St Pancras census, at 16 Camden Cottages, Kentish Town, in the household of Aaron Smith. Lucy is a visitor, 10 yrs old, born Middlesex, and Lavinia is Aaron's daughter, 15?? yrs old, born Sheerness.
Aaron was born in Yorkshire in 1896, then married Sophia Knight on 24 Dec 1823 at St Sepulchre London. By 1851 he stated he was widowed.
I have Aaron in census up til 1881 (85 yrs old and a house proprietor) - he led an eventful life as a sailor, surgeon, enforced pirate, tried for high treason etc. Please don't waste any time looking for details on HIM. It's the girls I'd like to know about - the only reference I can find for them is the 1851 census. Can anyone find anything else about either of them, please?
They're not my family, it's background for a local history project on Aaron.
