Thanks for sending those details through, I'll certainly have a look to see if any of them look familiar.

I notice there's no Basil Sharpe in there. From the stories I've been told, he owned this Chepstow House and George Robinson worked for him around 1820 until he married his daughter, Annie and moved to Chile.

I visited Hewelsfield in October as I was told that years ago my great aunt obtained a copy of George & Annie's marriage certificate from the church there. Unfortunately the records are no longer kept there.

Think some more digging is in order.

Thanks for looking.

SHARPE and ROBINSON - lived around Hewelsfield

Eithwyn Jones — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 04:29:10 +0000

I am researching my family history and have come across a block.
I understand from my Gran that her great Grandparents and great great-grand-parents lived in and around Hewelsfield in the 1800's but I can't find any trace of them.

Her Great, great grandparents were Basil and Agnes Sharpe, born I believe in the early 1820's. From the stories she has told me Basil owned somewhere called Chepstow House which she believes was in or near Hewelsfield.

Basil and Agnes had a daughter Annie Sharpe who married their land agent, George Robinson, in St Mary Magdelene Church in Hewelsfield.
George & Annie later moved to Chile where they had a daughter Louise.

Can anyone help me with my search??

Thanks
Eithwyn
