Joshua Twitchin a butcher married Mary Killick 7th Oct 1816 at St Mary's Lambeth.
They had 10 children between 1816 and 1838 all accounted for except one named Robert born c1831.
Three brothers in this family James Francis 1825,Richard 1827 and Robert all butchers emigrated to Manhattan in 1851 on the vessel 'Margaret Evans' and set up their own butchers business.
The passenger list stated Robert's age as 21 which fits my assumption of his birth year.
Robert married a Julia Lush (or Lursch) in Manhattan 1880 and it says;
.................................................. ..............
Robert Twitchim (a usual mistranscription)
of 72nd st. and 9th Ave.
47 years old ..(which makes his birth 1833)
Butcher
b. London England
Father: Joshua
Mother: Julia Quarterman ???????
.................................................. ......................
now was Robert's birth as a result of a dalliance between his
father Joshua and Julia Quarterman who perhaps could not care
for her son and is this why Robert's birth has not been found?
It must have been a second marriage for Julia as her father was stated as Luigi Tinelli an Italian who become a Confederate General in the US Civil War.
