Wondering if somebody could help with the 18-19th century family connection with Hewelsfield/chepstow.My family emigrated to NZ in 1863.
William Henry Pevreal (Peveril) b1819 Hewelsfield and elizabeth nee Rossiter b 1818 chepstow.They had 5 children,all born in Chepstow -- sarah,harriet,mary ann,william and george ,who accompanied their parents to NZ.
The name has morphed into a few variations which brings a bit of mystery-- pevreal,peverel peveril to name a few.
When they left the uk they must have left extended family behind or at least some record of their presence.Hoping for some traces to get me started on the family past

Hi Tati
Thanks for the message.Yes Israel is a bit of a mystery.There is no record over here of his presence at all.I suspect that he may have perished on the voyage out here.His unusual name has lived on in subsequent generations.
Would be very keen to know of references to the earlier generations.William Henry Pevreal must have had family,living at or nearby ,Hewelsfield (siblings,extended family)
Big deal to uproot the whole family plus one son in law,a John Thomas King (married to Sarah Ann)and their child,3yr old William Henry Thomas King.It was always going to be a one way trip.

Hi classkiwi and welcome to rootschat. 
If you are wanting to know about earlier generations then finding William and Elizabeth's fathers and the father's occupations would be relatively easy provided they married after 1837. If you bought the marriage cert for Wm and Eliz [7 GBP] it would show this info.
You can find the GRO reference for the marriage by searching freebmd. That will give you the date and place also.
