DeRothschild Vanstone - Plymouth
I am looking for the connection between the DE ROTHSCHILD family and the VANSTONE family. Many of the Vanstones were born in Plymouth, St. Charles the Martyr and also in Launceston area. My mother was Rosemarie Edith Amy DeRothschild Vanstone but I haven't been able to make the connection between the DeRothschilds & the Vanstones. The connection may be the second wife (Mabel?) of Benjamin Thomas Vanstone b. 1864. And it is NOT "pure pretentiousness" as one genealogist told me that the family has the De Rothschild in there. Other Vanstone ancestors have been very diligent in making sure that the surnames of their spouses have somehow been added to the children's names!

Jeffery/Worth - Plymouth
Henrietta Jeffery was born in Plymouth in 1851. There she married William Worth from Barnstaple in 1872 and they remained in Plymouth while four of their children were born: Henrietta in 1868, Thomas in 1869, Annie in 1873, and Jessie in 1874. It is probable that the first two children are not from this union. From there they moved to Islington where more children were born and William worked as a bootmaker. Henrietta died while giving birth to her seventh or eighth child in 1888 in Holbein. Any information about these families would be appreciated.
