Who is Norwell?
« on: Thursday 24 October 13 19:02 BST (UK) »
Hello,
 I am trying to find the first name of a man who married the sister of my ggg grandfather. Her name was Ann Hawkins, b 1806, probably in Yorkshire, but the family relocated to Errol, Perthshire when she was still little and were there by 1811 when a younger brother Henry was born.
 She was the daughter of Edward Hawkins and Ann Taylor, and married someone with the last name of Norwell. I've managed to trace her descendants to the present day, but can not find the first name of the man she married or even where or when. Her son, Henry, b 1833 in Errol, later moved to the USA and their family is based in Massachusetts. Any help or information is most appreciated!

According to FamilySearch, Henry Norwel son of Henry Norwel and Ann Hawkins was baptised in Errol on 31 Oct 1831 (born 18 Sept). (The image of the register should be available at Scotland's People.) This looks a very good possibility, particularly if the year of birth is based on some documentation from later life - it's not uncommon for ages to be a couple of years out somewhere along the line.

This looks very likely. I suspected the father may have been called Henry! Thank you!

To add to what I've already found:
FamilySearch also has the marriage of Henry Norwel and Ann Hawkins in Errol on 18 Jun 1831, and the baptism of another son Thomas in 1835.
