Like others was curious to find out more about Rosa and Lewis.
Lewis 'intermarried' married Adelaide Joseph - possibly a cousin. He divorced her and then married Bessie Champ in 1872. As the marriage to Adelaide was declared defective, he insisted he was a bachelor. He describes himself as a gentleman when he married Bessie. This may explain why he describes himself as single or unmarried in census records. Was Rosa from Lewis's first marraige?
He died in 1883 at 11 Endsleigh Gardens, leaving an estate valued at £63,479. Charles Benjamin Graham - formerly Braham - of 44 Gloucester Gardens, Hyde Park, the son of the other executor.
The records are on Ancestry. Having probs posting links.
