Any Information on Hewitt from Birmingham Warwickshire Please
Edward HEWITT was born abt 1853 at Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. He was married to Sarah TURVILLE, born abt 1849 at Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, England. They had 2 sons whilst residing in Birmingham, Warwickshire. They emigrated to Australia in 1833 aboard the "Duchess of Argyle".
Their children were
1. EDWARD (junior) b abt 1877 in Aston, Birmingham, Warwickshire
2. JOHN b 21 November 1879 in Aston, Birmingham, Warwickshire
3. FANNY or FANNIE b abt 1882 (possibly born on the journey to Australia)
4. MINNIE b 1884 in Australia
5. JAMES b 1885 in Australia
6. ENOCH b 1888 in Australia
7. VIOLET b 1890 in Australia
The parents of Edward (senior) were WILLIAM HEWITT & FANNY/FANNIE LOWE who were married on 27 March 1844 at Saint John, Coventry, Warwickshire.
I have further information about JOHN (child 2) who was my maternal grandfather. I have only limited info on his siblings.
To help you further, what State did they settle in Australia?
You should also be able to track this HEWITT family in great detail down through the Census years 1841 to 1901 via RootsChat - FREE Family History Local History Message Boards and much more.... Then once you have done that you should be able to (get others to) find your ancestors' baptismal, wedding and burial details through Parish records.
At rootschat, then goto their Emigrants to Australia board to see if you can find the siblings of your grandfather and who/m they married, children etc.
