Millis and Mary Coventry were staying with my gggrandmother Sarah Payne in Epping in 1851. Millis Coventry attended Isaac Payne's School (Quaker) in Epping c 1811. When Isaac died in 1845 , the school was taken over by Dr Usmar and Mr Hunter. In 1851, Arthur and Millis Jr were aged 15 and 12 in this school, which was next door to my gggrandmother's house..

In the 1861 census Millis Coventry was a corn factor in Brighton, where my ggrandfather James Hodson had a windmill. Isaac's brother Richard Payne was also a corn factor and was a partner in Rickman and Payne and I am wondering whether Millis Coventry may have taken over the business!
