Think you might have an idea about Lewis being a Baxter, as Nathaniel married Eliza Downs first then she died and think married Lucy her sister. Thank you all for your help.

Maybe it doesn.t say Lewis, as name?

I can't find anything other than the 1851 census for this person. He is on the 1851 census with his grandparents Francis and Elizabeth Downs and their son Francis, and is named as son, but when you look on original census is grandson. Lewis was born in 1848 in Bury St Edmunds Suffolk but living in Troston Suffolk. I can't find out anything more. If anyone can help that would be most kind. Thank you.
