Victoire Josephine Lewis
	Born:	c. 03.1843	registered in St. Pancras
	Died:	c. 06.1848	Aged 5, registered in St. Pancras

I was informed by one Thomas Sawyer, from Irvine, California that there may be a 4th child; Marcus Herbert Lewis.
There was speculation that Marcus Herbert was born in 1850 and may have been another attempt at a daughter,
after the early death of Victoire Josephine Lewis (II).
I was also informed that Marcus too became a solicitor.
(yes, Tom Sawyer)
