Brilliant!
Maybe we can put the pieces together between us.

I'll email you direct - but am away for a few days now so it probably will be at the weekend.

Many thanks for responding

Hi Hewy

John Hewinson from Manchester was my gt gt gt grandfather through his daughter Sarah.  The name is not easy to trace because of the many spelling variations and transcription errors but even though I am aware of these I can find nothing to fit in Manchester.

I have noticed the main group of Hewinsons located in Gloucestershire and was thinking it might be necessary to trace from there to see if I can find a stray but I would be very grateful for any suggestions you may have to save me doing this!  I thought the use of the 'Bath' middle name might indicate a Gloucester origin but am puzzled by John's statement that he was born in Manchester.

Are you part of the Gloucester Hewinsons?

I would just like to recommend this site to anyone who has not yet discovered it.  It is making some parish records available which are not included in the IGI and I find that the information provided is more comprehensive than most of the IGI.

I have found a couple of long lost records on here and am a committed fan!

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.

Just wondering if anyone has made any progress with this family?

William is my great x3 grandfather, through Joseph and Reuben and I feel that I know quite a lot about the family but am stuck on William.

I think that William originated from Bilsby, (around 1800 +/- 10yrs)  but the parish records do not seem to be easy to access and I am struggling to find any clue as to William's parents - or his birth.  Has anyone managed to track them down yet?
