I am reliably informed by Jean Lewis, Samuel's grand-daughter, that Samuel married a girl named Nellie Porter in 1902. They had 6 children - 4 girls and 2 boys. Sadly, Samuel died just 2 months before his youngest son was born.

Jean writes of Samuel's youngest child, her dad:- "The other children were a lot older than him. Of the four girls, only one married, and an elder brother was sent to live in Australia with relatives when he was in his early teens. He didn't marry either. He had a very good singing voice and made quite a few records (hymns mostly) but at the time of writing we don't have any more information. He came back to England when in his late 70's just before he died to meet his brother and one remaining sister, who has also now died. No-one from that generation remains. As his sisters were so much older he was never included in outings to visit relatives, so had no recollection of having cousins or aunties or uncles. The family moved to Shirley, West Midlands and I think most of the children were born there".
