Lewis was born Luigi Guiseppe Antonio Napoleone Peverelli in Como, Italy  on 17 Mar 1804.

Lewis was the son of Paulo Peverelli and Lucrezia Peverelli.

Lewis married Sophia Round 14 Sep 1828.

The children of Lewis Peverelle and Sophia Round include:

Lewis Edward Peverelle

Charles Peverelle

John Peverelle

Rosa Peverelle

Guiseppe Peverelle

Sophia died 3 Feb 1839.

Pigot's directory 1837


Lewis then married Eliza Adams, 30 Apr 1839 in England.

Eliza had been married to John Hawkesford in 1835, he died, leaving her a widow with a son, John Henry Hawkesford.

Lewis Peverelle household, St. Martin, Birmingham 1841 Census of England

Above is the 1841 census entry for Lewis.  He is listed as a "general dealer" and living with his wife Eliza and Carlo (maybe his son Charles. Carlo is Italian form of Charles, but this Carlo is listed as foreign born....I think this is the Charles who married Esther and later Henrietta Foules- that Charles was born in Italy, the age is right and would be Lewis's nephew) and they have a female servant. (F. S. is the abbreviation for Female Servant in the 1841 census)

Notice the other children from the first marriage (Lewis Edward, John, Rose, Guiseppi) are not present.  My current guess is that the younger ones were away at school and Lewis died sometime prior.

The children of Lewis Peverelle and Eliza Ann Adams include:

Louis Peverelle born in 1842

Joseph Alexander Peverelle b 1845

and Isabella Peverelle born 1850.
