Malcolm Report 18 Oct 2011 17:15

I am looking for any information on Harry Hewitt, only information known is that he married Mabel Edith Pearson in 1906 in Brighton, Sussex, England. On the marriage certificate he states his father's name is Robert (deceased) who was a merchant seaman.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated as there is no other information that I have been able to uncover on this great grand-parent. :-(

chrissiex Report 18 Oct 2011 17:32

does he state his age on the marriage certificate ?

what are the witnesses' names ?

chrissiex

chrissiex Report 18 Oct 2011 17:34

was Mabel Edith Pearson previously married, from the marriage certificate ?

her age and father's name ?

there is only one birth registration showing for that name and it was in 1897 in Steyning so that is not her

to find them together on the 1911 census and hope to get more info, like his place of birth, all this information is needed

Do you know when and where Harry died, and what was his occupation?

chrissiex

chrissiex Report 18 Oct 2011 18:21

how about Mabel ? still can't identify a birth or find her before the marriage in a census ... Billingshurst is in Horsham registration district ...

this is the closest for a death

Name: Mabel E Hewitt
Birth Date: abt 1882
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1955
Age at Death: 73
Registration district: Swindon
Inferred County: Wiltshire
Volume: 7c
Page: 722

but this death is certainly interesting

Name: Mabel E Pearson
Birth Date: abt 1883
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1958
Age at Death: 75
Registration district: Surrey South Western
Inferred County: Surrey
Volume: 5g
Page: 1152

or possibly she remarried

too bad Malcolm did not stick around to answer questions and give all the information he has

I'm wondering if there's some relationship between Mabel Edith King and Mabel Edith Hewitt....some more info would be helpful - Harry's age and occupation for example. I note there were some Harry Hewitts in the army, perhaps this explains his absence from home....

Saw that one, Jax but if she was born Burgess Hill, it should have been Cuckfield RD. No sight of her marriage to John King...

No birth registrations for Angela Mildred or Frederick, though there's an Annie (1890) and Charles Frederick O (1892) registered in Cuckfield RD
