cornwall marriage before 1838 Henry BERESFORD and a Caroline, please

[Jimmy26]

From your experience, are there other avenues that could be investigated?
I was thinking of:
eg
Possibly check out if James Hewtson's (Watch Maker) mother, is Catherine Hewtson (Widow)!
Verifying this by:
Checking out her maiden name from her former marriage details Prior to her marriage to <1815 Mylor - Richard Philip marriage to Catherine Hewtson (Widow)>.

Prehaps that might give a clue to the Names of:
Beresford/O'Blandy as these are given as the middle names of 1831 birth of Thomas "Beresford O'Blandy" Hewtson
What do you guys think?

Already been looking at those two avenues Jimmy but no luck yet.

13-Jun 1835 Eliza buried St Austell

21-Nov 1836 James married Maria Chapman in St Columb Major.

He was still there in June 1840 - newspaper report in the "West Briton" about someone having stolen a watch from his shop in St Columb. Maria also mentioned as a witness.

Great investigative work Fizzy.

Did James Hewtson have anything to do with the stolen watch and had to slip his "moorings" to South Wales across the Bristol Channel with a disguised name (Henery Beresford 1841 Census with his sons Thomas, James)

Looks like the plot is thickening!!

This is only my imagination running away with itself!!!!!!

Great work though, interesting to find out if there are any records of James Hewtson after this event??

No death.

1841 wife Maria seems to be living back with her family.

Lanteglos by Camelford. Pre 1836, occupier of Jetwalls House was one Henry Beresford Esq. He sold up in 1836 to go back to his estates in Waterford.

1831 we know the Hewtsons were in Camelford and named their son Thomas Beresford........was this because of Henry Beresford living there ?

The Beresfords also had estates in Pembrokeshire courtesy of the de la Poeur side of their family.

Something obviously happened late 1840/early 1841 for him to change his name to Henry Beresford and up scuttle to Swansea where he could get lost in the Beresfords there. This is also why in 1851 Henrys place of birth is recorded as not known.

??oooeerrrrrrr

Fizz, this is great work you have undertaken. I wonder what the original Poster (AlanHughes) thinks of it all!!!

Bet he didn't expect so much information coming out of his original question.
