Blewett/Blewitt/Bluett -Cornish links? (General)

My Blewett ancestors moved from East Dean area to Oldbury, West Midlands between 1851 and 1861. I have traced back to Richard Blewett who died 19 July 1837 and was married to Sarah Hayward. I now live in Cornwall and Blewett is a common name down here and I would like to know if anyone can throw any light on Cornish links to Forest of Dean as I haven't been able to prove any. Did some of the Cornish Blewetts move to Forest of Dean perhaps with mining connections?
