Annie Rebecca Seward Kennington and home

We may have seen this before, but let's take another look. It's from Maude's album. Annie Rebecca was her grandmother and Esther her first cousin. I was under the impression they (Maude and Esther) were around the same age. So this photo may have been taken by someone older. Anyone know?

Did Annie Rebecca stop teaching school when Esther came to live with them?

A little bit about the Sewards and Covers

William Henry's wife, Annie Rebecca Seward, intrigues me. So I've been digging into her family a bit. Her grandmother Seward, Ann Cover Seward, has been a hard one to trace.

Last night I stumbled on to the Cover/Gover research on Ancestry.com. A kind gentleman from England emailed me back this morning with a great site: http://startx.co.uk/Kingsclere/contents.html.

It's a collection of materials which include the Sewards. I'm still working through the Cover/Gover material and am thinking there's either a second marriage or some "creative blending" of children.
At the moment I'll stick by my guns and say Annie Rebecca's grandmother is Ann Cover from Tunworth.

Enjoy!

Our "Richard Hemington"

In case you're as lost as I was about finding Richard Kennington (William Henry's father) in the Louth, Lincolnshire 1851 Census, here's a photo. For some reason he's been transcribed as Richd Hemington. The family is there and everything matches.

Anyone know where they are on the 1841 Census? They should have some children - at least Henry who died in 1853. Anyone know how he died? And what's the deal about having 13 children with 7 of them being buried in England? Anyone have a lead on that they'd like to share?

Richard's half brothers, William and John Onn are easy to find on every census. William (1818) was a brick and tile maker and a farmer on the side. John (1810) was a joiner and carpenter. Both had large families. They lived good long lives.
