Notes for Henry LEWIN:

Also known as: Harry

We see Henry and Emma in 1871, shortly after they married, living at 37 Brook Street, Coventry, Warwickshire:
Henry Lewin Head Mar 26 Cotton Dyer Coventry Warwickshire
Emma Lewin Wife Mar 23 Polesworth Warwickshire

In 1881, we see Henry and Emma living at 8 Court Far Gosford Street, Coventry, Warwickshire:
Henry Lewin Head Mar 36 Silk Dyer Coventry
Emma Kewin Wife Mar 33 Laundress Bradeley Staffordshire
Edwin Lewin Son 7 Scholar Coventry
Ann Knibbs Sister Mar 49 Laundress Oxfordshire

Despite being married and using the name Knibbs, I believe Ann is in fact Emma's older sister, Ann Knibbs.
