Gilly, sorry not to have responded sooner but there seems to have been a glitch with GR over the last couple of days. I think we are going to have quite a bit more difficulty with Harry than with Mabel - he may have been Harry, Harold or Henry or none of these- but I will keep trying. What I'm trying to do at the moment is eliminate the two from Islington and the two from Croydon. I wonder if anyone has better luck than I in locating James Hewitt (b 1842 in Shalford) in 1881 or earlier census records. I know there were a couple of James Hewitts who were at sea, though they seem to have been in the Royal Navy rather than the Merchant service.

Best wishes

The Spooner / Wickham connection seems to all tie in but am still confused as to how the name Pearson comes into it?

On her marriage certificate to Harry Hewitt in 1906 her father who she said was deceased was a builder which ties in to the Spooner. The marriage in 1906 was in a Catholic church so she may have lied in order to get married there as she may have been divorced. Alternatively she may have been IRish which may explain why it has been difficult to find her.

Any further developments and I will post.

Thanks
