I have them with a Son John 1842 then Richard 1846 then another John 1852-This is from 1851 census- I would like to know what happened to the three boys. I am wondering if the eldest boy is James cos they tended to change James and John about. thanks

I have been researching this extended family for some time. THESE BOYS ARE THE SONS OF JAMES1821 and MARGARET 1823 HEWITT- I have found them upto 1861, when they were living in St Helens Lancashire. I would like to know if the boys married, and to whom. I have the past history on them so if anyone can help to trace them between 1861 and 1911 I would be gratefull regards Eileen
