I have been Looking into the Chandler family of Witley, Surrey for The Chandler School. John Flutter Chandler married Mary Currie at York in 1801. The Curries were originally Brewers but became Bankers (and Members of Parliament) and at the time of her marriage the 'Jacksons Oxford Journal' reported Mary as being 'orth 70,000 L' i.e £70,000. Mary's parents were William Currie and Magdalene Lefevre (dau of Isaac Lefevre Esq.). They had a number of other children including an Isaac who married Mary Ann Raikes and had a son Raikes Currie. Write ups of Raikes Currie (an M.P.)say he had a nephew The Earl of Kimberley (which was through his wife Louisa Sophia Wodehouse) and a cousin Viscount Eversley. When I tried to find out about this Viscount I came across the Shaw-Lefevre name. John Lefevre had a daughter Helena who married Charles Shaw and started the Shaw-Lefevre family. The had a son Charles 1794-1858. Other than this I only know of a Helena 1823-1897 who married Milnay? and a Thomas S-L who was Vice-Chancellor and lived in a house that had been Henry Curries before.Hope this helps at least with some possible names.
