1851 Easthampstead - Ewins

[hoops]

Hi,
I've read with interest your information about the Ewins family.  By coincidence my mum and dad lived in Ewins Close in Ash before I was born.

I noticed that you mentioned that there may be a connection to Ash.  Anyway, I have discovered several Ewins buried in the churchyard of St Peters in Ash.  I've found two headstones (so far) with the following wording (which is quite hard to decipher!):

- In memory of John Ewins who died July 14th 1873 aged 88.  Also of Elizabeth his wife who died Nov 29th 1855 aged 55.  Also of their children Eliza, Ann, James, John, Sarah, Emma and Ellen. 
There is also a Charlotte mentioned at the foot of the headstone but that is all I can decipher

- Mary Ewins who departed this life February 2nd 1887 in her 64th year.

I don't know if there is a connection to the Ewins family you are researching but I thought you might like to know.
Good luck with your research!

Hi Craig

Thanks for the information. 

We have since found out that Ewins Close is named after the Ewins that used to own the land there.  The Museum on the site gave us (myself and other fellow Ewins') the information.

I have visited the Cemetery myself and seen some graves, althiught I think there are couple more that I've not seen yet.

I live reasonably close to Ash, so can always pay another visit.

Are you yourself realted to a Ewins ?  That would be really interesting if you were realted to teh Ewins family and still living in Ash.

Currently in contact with two other Ewins' in my tree, goiung back to 1850 now.  Still Searching....

Regards

Tim

Hi Tim

I'm not related to a Ewins (as far as I'm aware) but have lived in or around Ash all my life.  I have a keen interest in local and family history and recalled seeing the Ewins headstones in the St Peters churchyard.

I hope the search keeps going well and good luck when you get to pre 1837!

Regards
Craig

Hi Tim

I too am also a decedent of James Ewins & Maria Deadman via their eldest son James.

I think I may know who Maudmuch is.  Although James Ewins's children were all born in Easthampstead his eldest son George is listed as being born in Finchampstead.  Any knowledge as to why?

Found a very interesting site that has photos of Ewins Family Grave stones in Ash.

Plus Frederick Blizzard's grave (Son of Charlotte Ewins) where a Mary Ewins is also buried:
