Person:Stephen Luxon (1)

(Research):Charles (Sr.) married Jean Bazin in 1807, and they produced seven children including Stephen. Their last child was apparently Charlotte, who was noted living with some of her siblings in the 1841 census, but no birth record has been found. Jeanne died in 1837, and Charles was noted to be living in the "Hospital" (poor house?) as a pauper in the 1841 Census at age 65. When he died a few months later, he was listed as 68 years old. This would place his birth several years earlier than given above. It is appropriate to note that almost certainly the Luxons remaining in the CI today are his offspring.

Stephen Luxon, son of Charles b. 1825, was not found in the 1841 or 1851 Censuses. He went to London to marry Elizabeth Norris (1853). Her parents were identified from among three candidates by the naming of their third child James Norris, after naming the first after Elizabeth and the second after Charles. This is reinforced by the birthplaces she gave in later censuses. Stephen and his wife stayed near London for several years but they returned St Peter Port for the births of their last four children. He is found there in the 1861 Census. His occupation was variously listed as mariner or bargeman. In 1871, He is again found in London with his family. In, 1881, his family is in London with his wife listed as head (it is unclear if 'widow' would have been listed in this census). In 1901, Elizabeth remains in London listed as a widow.
