Trying to find Sewell

Did Frederick have a brother Robert and was his father Robert a clerk? My great grandfather Robert Sewell was apparently born in c 1861 in Westminster where he was still resident according to the 1881 and 1891 censuses. But I cannot trace him - only one born that year in St Pancras to William Lofty Sewell and one in Lambeth to a Sarah Sewell with no father recorded on b. cert! I have a copy of his marriage cert which gives his father as Robert - a clerk. There is a lot of valuable data on www.sole.org.uk - a Sewell data site which is non profit making! Unfortunately my lot are only on the 81/91 censuses.

Hi, I am trying to find information on my great grandfather - Frederick Sewell. He was born in 1863 (Westminster I think) and went on to marry Emma Jane Silvey (nee Cross) 17.9.1893 in Lambeth, London. They had two children that I know of - Frederick b1895 and my grandmother Louisa Caroline b1898 in Lambeth. Frederick's father was Robert. Frederick hanged himself on 25.5.1931 in Hersham, Surrey in the road where my grandparents lived! I have his death and marriage certs but the Records Office do not have a record of his birth. Any info would be gratefully received.
