| Lewis Peverelle household, St. Martin, Birmingham 1841 Census of England |
Above is the 1841 census entry for Lewis. He is listed as a "general dealer" and living with his wife Eliza and Carlo (maybe his son Charles. Carlo is Italian form of Charles, but this Carlo is listed as foreign born....I think this is the Charles who married Esther and later Henrietta Foules- that Charles was born in Italy, the age is right and would be Lewis's nephew) and they have a female servant. (F. S. is the abbreviation for Female Servant in the 1841 census)
Notice the other children from the first marriage (Lewis Edward, John, Rose, Guiseppi) are not present. My current guess is that the younger ones were away at school and Lewis died sometime prior.
Lewis and Eliza have 3 children:
Louis born in 1842
Joseph Alexander b 1845
and Isabella born 1850.
