Here is the info I have; William A. Hewlett born abt 1852 in England, died abt 1921 in Pennsylvania. Married Margaret Mackey born abt 1861 in England, died abt 1926 in Pennsylvania. Had at least one son named Harry Thomas Hewlett, born in Pennsylvania - 9/26/1892, died 1/17/58. Harry married Lucille Lillian Rimmel born in Pennesylvania - 8/10/1896, died 10/3/39. They had 12 children, one of whom is my father. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The full name of the son of Samuel John Hewlett was William Samuel who was baptised at St John the Evangelist Church, Cinderford on 16 January 1870. There are several other William Hewletts and I may be able to provide more information if you can provide some dates or further details.

slowhands – thank you. There were three Samuel Hewletts born in Soudley from 1841 to 1844 – two were cousins and the third who married Matilda Harris (lived in Soudley and later moved to Ruspidge) were not related to our family (that we can find). The family that we are interested in:

Samuel John Hewlett born 1844, baptised 13 March 1845 Cinderford
Annie Elizabeth Morse (wife) baptised 22 Oct 1848 Ross on Wye Herefordshire

Children
William Hewlett baptised 16 January 1870 (residence Soudley)
Annie Louisa Hewlett born 1871 baptised 20 October 1872 died 1875 East Dean
Samuel Smith Hewlett born 1872 baptised 20 October 1872 Cinderford died 1875 East Dean
Frances Sarah Julia Hewlett born 1873 baptised 30 Nov 1873 Woodside
George Hewlett born 1875 baptised 5 October 1879 Cinderford
Frank Hewlett born 1877 baptised 5 October 1879 Cinderford
Florence Eva Hewlett baptised 5 October 1879 Cinderford (residence Soudley)
Sarah Ann Hewlett baptised 14 May 1885 Cinderford
John Hewlett baptised 14 May 1885 Cinderford

Some of the children were christened on the same day although they were not the same age. This family do not appear in the 1881, 1891 or 1901 census do not seem to have moved from the Forest of Dean. Does anyone have further information about the above family?

Samuel John Hewlett - census

Jean Pritchard — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 14:53:24 +0000

slowhands – thank you for the census information on William Williams.

I have a subscription to Ancestry.com for the UK and search the census there. I am having difficulties finding Samuel John Hewlett and his family (wife Ann and children) in 1881, 1891 and 1901 census. They are living at Soudley in 1871 census with William Williams (grandfather). I have information from another FOD member about births of some children born after the 1871 census until the 1880s at Woodside as the births are registered at the Gloucester Records Office but as yet this information is not available online. I would like to find out more about the family from the census.

Are some census sites or the CDs more reliable than others?
