G2G: Thomas, John and Amelia Luxon, or maybe Luxton, apparently all born St Marylebone, but where are their baptism records?

Their mother, Margaret Luxton, nee Unknown, remarried to Edward William Winter in 1828. Her surname recorded as Luxton by the clerk (misindexed as Lurton at Ancestry) but signed by her as Luxon.

Thomas, John and Amelia are all living with her in 1841, their surname misrecorded as Saxon.

Amelia had a son George Luxon in 1847. Amelia was in and out of the poorhouse. Thomas and John can be found in later Census records.

I can't find their baptisms at ancestry, which is so frustrating, as I'm trying to establish if they are siblings of Mary Ann Luxton who was baptised at St Mary-le-bone in 1825, although born in 1816.

Amelia's son George was described as a grandchild of Margaret in 1851, but I know from experience Census relationships are sometimes a simplified way of describing the actual relationship. 1841 Census doesn't of course provide relationships.

This is both awesome, because you've found the records I was looking for, but terribly disappointing because they're not Mary Ann's siblings.

The remarriage of a Margaret Luxton a year after Mary Ann's father may have died was a very promising lead.

Thanks!
