Hi Harry,

Do you have any idea what Cissie's husbands name was?

Is Cissie a short name for something else?

Hi Karen
I have no idea what cissie Hewitt husbands  forename was . I believe they married in England. He went to Canada  and she followed him some time later
She was always know as Cissie and can only think it was shortened from Celia/ Cecelia or Cicilia.
I found the family on 1901 Census in St,. Mary in the Castle, Hastings but nothing  was shown for her
I found a letter from her, undated, but mentioning 1959/60 and saying about her son Len about 29 years of age
Thankis for any help
HarryellisDetails are sparse and I am still hunting for the marriage  of Hill and Hewitt

I just took a quick look through a few Toronto city directories.  I'm not sure if these are the right people but here's what I found:

1923
Hewett Wm J, slsmn, h 321 Milverton blvd
Hewitt Wm J, sec-treas Oliver Sales Co, h 321 Milverton blvd
1924
Hewett Wm J, bldr, h 411 Milverton blvd
Hewitt Leonard, uphol Eatons, rms 9 Yarmouth rd
1925
Hewett Wm J, bldr, h 411 Milverton blvd

1927
Hewett Wm J, staty 892 Danforth av, h 411 Milverton blvd
1928-1930
Hewett Wm J, staty and tobacco 874 Danforth av h 872 same

1935
Hewett Wm J, staty and cigars 874 Danforth av h 872 Danforth av
Hewett Wm N, clk Wm J Hewett r 872 Danforth av
Hewett Ida, r 872 Danforth av
Hewitt Leonard W, uphol h 250 Woodfield rd
Hewitt Doris r 56 King George's rd (La M)

1940
Hewett Susie (wid Wm J), h 411 Milverton blvd
Hewett Ida, clk Eatons r 411 Milverton blvd
Hewett Margt, clk Eatons r 411 Milverton blvd
Hewett Norman W, emp Riley Locksmith r 411 Milverton blvd

"Susie" is close to "Cissie" but the others don't match up.  Am I on the right track here?

Hi Harry,

Ok, I found Harry, William and Maria living with their grandfather Robert Ellis in the 1891 Uk Census in Sussex.

Lennard married Florrie (Florence) but who Doris married is unknown.Doris had two children, Lorraine ond RobertThanks for any info Harryellis
