The Sweetten Family

Edward Maurice Evans Sweetten

Birth: 28 November 1850

Baptism: 3 November 1854, in St Benet Gracechurch and St Leonard Eastcheap, London, England

Father:
Maurice Evans

Mother: Jane Baker Sweetten

Notes: Edward's sister, Mary Jane, dropped the Sweetten from her name by the 1881 census - she probably did it after the marriage of her parents in 1857 - and likely Edward also dropped the Sweetten although I have not found evidence of it.

Sources:

Jane Baker (Sweetten) Evans

Birth: 1835/6, in London, England

Father:
John Baker Sweetten

Mother: Rebecca Butterworth

Married: Maurice Evans on 29 April 1857, in St James, Paddington, Middlesex, England. Maurice is recorded as the son of Maurice Evans. Jane is recorded as the daughter of John Baker Sweetten.

Children:
Death: 1909, in Wandsworth district, London, England, aged 76

Notes: In proceedigs against insolvent debtors, this note about Jane's father is found in the London Gazette 21 March 1828 p578:
Sweetten, John Baker (sued and committed as John Baker, and commonly called and known by that name), formerly of Change-Court, Strand, Middlesex, then of Bond-Street, Lambeth, Surrey, then of Little James-Street, Gray's-Inn-Lane, then of Baldwin's-Gardens, Gray's-Inn-Lane, there keeping a Tin and Hardware Shop, and late of Nortli-Crescent-Mews, Burton-Crescent, Middlesex, Jobbing Bricklayer, Plasterer, and Slater.

which leads me to wonder if Jane also commonly used just Baker and dropped the Sweeten
