Rawlinson, Peacock and Dines

The earliest record we have of the Rawlinson family is that of Samuel, born in 1786 who married an Elizabeth,  whose surname is unknown.   

Samuel and Elizabeth's son, another Samuel  married Louise Dines in 1843 and amongst other children they had Josiah and Ellen. 

Josiah married Rosanna Peacock in 1876 and Ellen married Thomas Metson in 1871.

• Josiah and Rosanna had 3 daughters, the  eldest  of  whom,  Lily married Edward John Amos.  Rosanna's parents John Peacock and Sarah Bloomfield married in 1845 in Stebbing.

• Ellen and Thomas had 9 children, the youngest of whom was Thomas Sydney who married Beatrice Rawlinson  -  the youngest sister of Lily Rawlinson

The Rawlinson family moved to London during the 1880s and bought a Dairy in Stoke Newington, Middlesex. [now North London].

Thomas Amos with his wife Sarah [nee Berry] from a long line of predecessors in Kent brought their family to Essex sometime around 1835.

Their family - Thomas b.1808, John b.1809,

George Amos and Hannah Wiffen [an Essex girl from Stock] were married in 1841, in Ramsden Crays Parish Church, a few miles outside Billericay - a town about 25 miles east of London.

George and Hannah besides having other children, had Emma in 1852.  Emma had one son  born on the 29 October 1875 in Ramsden Crays  -  he was Edward John

Edward John Amos married Lily Louisa Rawlinson in Tottenham, London in October 1901. They had 3 daughters and 2 sons.

Violet, Lily, Horace, Edward, and Winifred.

Various branches of the family moved to Bush Hill Park, Middlesex and to Buckhurst Hill, Essex.

Violet & Winifred married Redman brothers, and Lily married a Fiddament later in life.

Horace had one daughter, Shirley and so it is left to Edward's only son John, to carry the name forward into future generations.
