Staffordshire / Hewinson Family - any leads to Manchester?
« on: Tuesday 24 August 10 13:52 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone can suggest any leads please for the Hewinson family?
I am trying to track down the previous generations of the family who settled in Burslem in Stoke on Trent and had around 13 children in the 1830s and 1840s.
John Hewinson says he was born in Manchester in 1802 and his wife Mary Brownsword in Frome in Somerset in 1809. They are easy to trace through the census records and I have Burslem/ Hanley parish records for the children's christenings and the marriage in 1830 but I am having no luck with finding either John & Mary's births.
John started a family bible with his birth in 1802 as the first entry (no parents!). He writes his name as John Bath Hewinson, but this is the only time he appears to use the 'Bath' name. He always spells the name as Hewinson although the name has many variations in the records.
Is anyone else researching this family? Any help would be gratefully received.
