Find Ancestors

hiya julie, sorry to hear that, do you have any idea of area where he may have been born???? have saerched 1899 thro1904 and found nothing yet!!! am primarily looking in london area, but will post any that have same name even if its just to rule them out, Julie

Hi Julie I'm back. have deleted the wrong James W from 1901 so as not to confuse people. Marie

Yes I have James William Hewitson Marriage cert he married Mary Lowe in June 1924 they where both 20. There marriage took place in Southwalk (London) His father is Charles Hewitson.

Was Charles Hewitsons' occupation on marriage cert a plasterer??

All I know is he was born in London, I know it's a big place!!! But they really don't move around that much, I found a James William Hewison in Halstead April,May,June 1899 but the surname is spelt right so that's the wrong one?!! Then I thought I might have found a brother?? Joseph Frederick,Lambeth Jan,Feb,March 1901? I believe this is close to where James might have come from

Marie the hand writting is so bad on this cert I'm really not sure what he is!!! FOUND SOMETHING!! Does this help?? in 1924 he lived at 11 deeth street in Southwalk

His fathers job title looks like a .???CONTRACT packer

Julie just checked all births in 1904 HEW*** james william. didn't find anything. will check 1903 and 1905

Hi Joseph Frederick born 1901 Lambeth is the son of Walter & Lucy Hewitson of Ward St Lambeth. Val

Thanks Val, I was so hoping it was a brother, it would have really helped! I have now put baby to bed, so I can now type with both hands and hopefully keep up!

I know James was a Railway carman

hiya, marie, have already checked that upto 1906, NOTHING is there, i am now on 1907, and going thro that, i have checked from 1899-1906, the only possible is that he was registered late, or in his mothers maiden name, but i dont think the latter applies, Julie

Julie Do you know when he died?? Marie

Yes he died in 1966 in Lewisham aged 62,Vol 5D Page 275 just not written the quarter down on my notes. Here it is..............Oct,Nov,Dec

hiya, i found something, it may be a brother, the only way to be certain is to buy cert with charles as ref check as father, Birth june quarter 1907 HEWITSON JACK dist- Lambeth Vol-1d page-491 it may help Julie

me again, did your gt grandad have any brothers/sisters that were spoke of?? this may help Julie

Hi Julie thanks for that............this has been driving me crazy!!! No doubt had you all are going cross eyed :) thank you for your time and hard work, as to siblings I have no idea, I know very little about him as he died before I was born and I have to assume my Nan found it difficult talking about her Dad.So I'm starting from scratch!

hiya i have searched the complete index from 1899-1908 inclusive, and found nothing that matches, except for the jack of course, i tried hewitsons, hewenson, hewetson, in all manner of ways. I think the best way now to tackle this, is to buy his death cert, at ;least then it will give a DOB, which will be something to go on, that way we can go from there, and see what we come up with, i will have a look for charles on 1901 cen, and see what i can come up with Julie

View Record Charles Hewetson abt 1859 Bermondsey, London, England Head Southwark St George the Martyr London View Record Charles Hewetson abt 1893 Bermondsey, London, England Son Southwark St George the Martyr London from 1901

I think thats what i'll do..............Thank you all for your time and help. I will order his death cert asap and give an update when I get it. That could be in a months time..Just spoke to my Grandad and he said he remembers James at a funeral playing the piano singing she'll be coming round the mountain when she comes!!!! He said he wasn't sure if it was for his sister-in-law or for his Sister!!! .........This family gets stranger by the minute
