Feona

Did you get her birth date from her B/C and i take it that is 1909

Hi Julie
I have her birth cert she was born 26/12/09 her birth was registered in 1910 she was born in E.Retford had a son my father in 1929 in Leeds she was unmarried then
any help would be great
Thanks Feona

Hi Feona

After she had your Dad do you know if she had any more children

Julie

Julie I have no idea my dad said that he was brought up by nuns sadly he died when i was 12 he was only 38 this is why i would love to find out about this side of my family it would be nice if Elsie did marry and have more children
by the way my dad does not have a father on his birth cert
Feona

Im with you

Im wondering if this is her death..i know her birth is out, but it would really depend on what the informant knew

Elsie Hewitt
Birth Date: 31 Aug 1909
Death Registration Month/Year: Jul 1997
Age at death (estimated): 87
Registration district: Leeds
Inferred County: Yorkshire
Register number: D13C

There are a lot of Elsie Hewitt marriages! I wonder if you could try a more indirect approach? Possibly other descendants from the family might know something.

It could be her but it would mean that she never married yes the birth date is wrong i would have to send for another cert
feona

Hi Jan
Thanks for your help yes i thought i might try to find Elsie's family i found them but dident get much further
i dont know who rose is Phoebe's birth surname was Swift it is on Elsie's birth cert
Feona

Feona, the death that Julie has found, well it could be right or not. Unless the informant is a member of the family (and it seems you don't know her family), you wouldn't have a clue if it was right or not. So unless you have just won the lottery, I wouldn't send for that quite yet. Maybe if we come up against a brick wall with the rest of the family.

Just been doing some digging on here and their is someone who has Thomas & i think it was Doris in his tree...might be worth to send a PM

Margaret, why do you think informants can only be members of the family

Rose is likely to be their daughter - name Rose A Hewitt mother's name Swift.

Hi Meg
Youre right already sent for 2 certs that were wrong
Feona

Julie
what is a PM
Feona

Name: Charles H Hewitt
Spouse Surname: Stevenson
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1928
Registration district: East Retford
Registration county (inferred): Nottinghamshire
Volume Number: 7b
Page Number: 3
Find Spouse: Find Spouse

Spouse is Nellie Stevenson.

Children:

Nope, no children found at all. Even looking at the whole of England/Wales.

I can find nothing more about Rose A Stevenson - no marriage or death.

EDIT - well, I wouldn't would I - she is Hewitt!!

Thanks to everyone you are all brilliant
will pick up all your messages tomorrow night thanks for all your help
Feona
p.s. I need to go to bed have to go to work in the morning. Thanks again to everyone

Julie, what I meant was if the informant is NOT a member of the family, it won' t tell us anything worthwhile. Am I wrong in my logic? I do sometimes get a mental blockage!

Nor can I find any Edwards children with a mmn Stevenson of the right age. Loads of the wrong age/wrong area of the country.

Of course, they might be the right people, but how do we know?

Hi i'm a little muddled
Charles Henry Hewitt was married to Nellie Stevenson they had a child called Charles G Hewitt born 1930 E.Retford 7b 15
Charles Henry was brother to Doris Hewitt Born 1906, Elsie Hewitt Born 1909 I'm not sure about Rose Hewitt Born1917 that would make her mother 36 when she was born although it does seem to be right
I think men are easier to trace as they dont change their surnames
Feona

You are dead right Feona, don't know how I missed the birth of Charles G Hewitt. I think I got onto Stevensons by mistake - apologies for confusing you.
