Evans-Carrick marriage, Carrick family - Camberwell
Sarah Jane EVANS, daughter of John EVANS and Sarah GASTINEAU (married Parish of St John, Tedbury 20 August 1801)was born 23 June 1802. She is known to have married a CARRICK and had a child Emma Carrick. Her parents Sarah and John Evans lived in Camberwell. Any information on the marriage of Sarah CARRICK née Evans and birth of her daughter Emma would be very welcome. Sarah was the sister of the artist Henry Gastineau. No connection, but a Thomas Carrick born 1802 was a self-taught artist/miniaturist which might be a lead as Sarah's own family was 'artistic'.

Thomas John Collis Seymour - Camberwell
I’m looking for more information on the life of Thomas John Collis Seymour. Thomas was born in Camberwell in 1821 and migrated - probably in 1834 on the age of 13 and possibly as member of the staff of Esq. Willem de Jonge van Ellemeet - to Middelburg in the Netherlands, where he worked as a coachman. In 1846 he married Johanna van der Jagt in Middelburg, where he lived until his death in 1875. The marriage certificate of Thomas and Johanna states that he is the son of Thomas Seymour and Sarah Collis and that he is christened 1 July 1821 in Camberwell. In fact Thomas handed over a copy extracted from the register in 1834 by curate Hyde of St. Gilles in Camberwell, of which the British Consul for the Province of Zeeland in The Netherlands declared in 1845 that it was genuine. The background of Thomas is surrounded with mysteries. Why did he migrate? And why did he state in all official documents drawn up during his life that he doesn't know where his parents are, even if they are still alive? Why did he use a silver seal showing a baron crown with three deer and a hunter? In his bible, which he got for his first Holy Communion, was written that it is a present form Anna Hereford of Sutton. Who was she and how were they related? Perhaps someone came across this Seymour family in Camberwell and can tell me something more about Thomas.
