Just to fill in one little gap!

My 2nd Cousin who retains the name Moulton is only (possibly) related through an illegitimate son of Edward Lewis Moulton & a woman named Elizabeth BROWN. Elizabeth was baptised 11 May 1862 in Kilgwrrwg. Elizabeth was the daughter of James Brown & Margaret Brown nee REECE, who married 1859 somewhere near Itton.

At conception she was probably still working (1881 Census) as Housemaid (Servant), working for William A Shoolbred (General Practicioner M.R.C.S.E. F.City F.L.S.) & George F Jackman (Surgeon M.R.C.S.E.) both single men & partners in a medical practice at Bridge Street, Chepstow.

Elizabeth Brown gave birth to a son Ernest Lewis BROWN & he was born 5 Dec 1882 in Torquay. Elizabeth later married Albert Charles MILLER 1887 in Wells, Somerset. In following Census reports Edward Lewis Brown is shown as Edward Miller.

Edward Lewis Brown married Elizabeth Watson on 25 Dec 1906 at Ravenstone, Leicestershire. Edward married under the name Edward Lewis Brown Miller. On his mother Elizabeth´s deathbed, she told him his father was a Moulton. He obviously took heed, as his first born he named Leslie Lewis Moulton who was born 13 Nov 1907 in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire . . . and the rest follow being named Moulton, as such did he & he died a Moulton.
