Yes thats the family
Henry Beresford, Caroline and their first son John all born in Cornwall, then they move to Carmarthenshire, Wales and Catherine, Eliza, Mary and Emily are born. Finally arriving in Swansea where Matilda and Virginia are born.
To find Henrys wife Carolines maiden name I think I need to find their marriage.
Thanks for your interest Alan

One of the children's birth certs would give Caroline's maiden name.

There is quite a gap between John and Eliza - do you think John could have been from a previous marriage

It may be worth looking for John's baptism to check mother's name?

Do you have the family in 1841??

Was Henry definately b in Cornwall - hisp.o.b. is NK =not known in 1851???

There were two Carolines bap in Falmouth at about the right time : Caroline Jewell HUGO and Caroline Corder Williams

Can't find the family in 1841 there should be John aged 3 and his parents but have spent hours looking, no result
I just checked about Henrys place of birth and you are right there is nothing to say where he was born, don't know where I got that from, birth place is unknown, now i need to find his place of birth, any ideas?
I could go and get either of the 2 children born in Swansea birth certs tomorrow, that would have Carolines maiden name on it would it?

Just checked mary annes marriage cert and henry is James Henry on that, had enough today will have another look tomorrow thanks

I see that Eliza was named Eliza Catherine Hewtson Beresford. Was the Catherine Hewtson significant in some way. The two names seem to come from the north country.
