Thanks Fizzy, may call on your experience in future. I'd interested in AlanHughes findings as I'm a direct descendant of Thomas Beresford born 1831 and of course his father Henry (James) Beresford.
Yesterday, I was showing  my Great Aunt (Thomas Beresford is her Great Grandfather) my research to date and she found it fascinating.
Thanks again

Regards Jimmy26

I think that we decided that the children with Henry Beresford in 1841 were HEWTSON children not Beresford

1831 Lanteglos by Camelford

Thomas Beresford O'Blandy HEWTSON to James and Eliza Hewtson.

Hello Fizzy,
Thanks for the clarity in your post. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to family research.

I have a feeling that James Hewtson (Watch Maker) could also be Henry (James) Beresford (Watch Maker)?
What do you think?
Regards Jim

WOW you have really asked a question now !!!!!!!!


Could James Hewtson and James Henry Beresford be the same person WOW didnt think of that one.

What do others who have been involved in this investigation think ?

I'd be interested in what others who have been investigating also think too?

When you look at it there were a few clues.

Can't wait to see what others think.

it crossed my mind, but the ages don't seem to tally.

1841 census has Hen(e)ry as rounded down to 30, so born 1806-1811.

His death notice in 1860, as per the Cambrian online index, gives his age as 50.

1826 marriage has James as watchmaker, so no longer an apprentice, & no mention of him not being of full age - 21 & over.

He could have lied about his age.......
