Title: Trying to trace my mothers family
Post by: Jillray on Saturday 25 July 09 23:24 BST (UK)

Would anyone be able to help me trace my mothers family please, my mothers maiden name was Hewett, her father was George Henry Hewett, her mother was Emily Hannah Protheroe, her grandfather was James Protheroe and her grandmother was Eliza Platt.
If anyone has any of these names in their family tree could you please let me know.
Thank you very much.

Thank you both for your replies.
My grandparents George Hewett & Emily Protheroe got married on the 28th September 1902 at St Mary Magdalene, Southwark. They were both 26 years of age. Georges was a carman, his father was Morris Hewett he was a porter. That's all we know of the Hewett side of the family.
Emily's father was James Protheroe he was a printer, we think he was born in 1836 Her mother was Eliza Platt born in 1838/39
We know at one stage the Platts lived in the Shoredith area of London. The Protheroe's lived in the Bermondsey area of London.

Thank you for your help

http://www.1911census.co.uk/
 - do you know the names of any children? I can't seem them initially on the census here. If you could find them in 1911 that would give you George's birthplace.

Title: Re: Trying to trace my mothers family
Post by: Jillray on Sunday 26 July 09 14:45 BST (UK)

I can't find any other the children either.

There was Elthel Hewett born 1903 died 2004
James Hewett born 1905
Ivy Hewett born 1913 died 1977
Henry Hewett born 1915

I find it strange there there doesn't seem to be any records for any of them.
