Hi Sharon
Really interesting to read your message. I think I know who your John Plews was, he is connected to my Plews line but a long way back (1700s). Didn't know his son had emigrated though. There are more Plewses in Australia and NZ so can probably fill you in on some things. Will contact you again when I have had time to check it.
Regards

Hello Jenny
my John Plews was born in Thornton Steward 1 May 1795, son of a farmer, married Margaret Tomlin 28 January 1817 at St Catherine's, Merstham, Surrey. John rose to prominence as civil engineer, working for Banks & Jolliffe. I have come across other Plews' from the family who also migrated to Australia and we never knew this before, so not surprising you didn't know about our family migrating. I am descended from Edward William, second son of John & Margaret. Edward was a doctor. I have a record of 9 children of John & Margaret's union, 7 boys & 2 girls, with first girl, Elizabeth (b circa 1819), I have come to believe died in infancy. I have no connections earlier than John other than as stated he was son of a farmer. I do know John had a brother William as he is named in John's Will. I will look forward to further communication with you. Cheers, Sharon
