Very elusive
Mary Ann's death cert. cites her father as Henry, but as hard as I've tried, I cannot confirm this from any other source. Richard Dewing and Eliz. Goss Herring always seemed a better fit, but again there is not enough evidence to convince me this is correct.

Found a possible clue. In 1831 at North Creake Richard Dewing, son of Richard Dewing and Elizabeth Goss Herring appears to marry his cousin Mary Elizabeth Dewing, daughter of William Dewing (Richard Snr's brother) and Mary Derisely. On the Bishop's Transcript (it looks like) Mary Ann Dewing is one of the witnesses. As yet can't find a Mary Ann on William's side.

Mary Ann has been described as a pleasing, intelligent woman and was obviously well educated as she could read and write, play piano and schooled all her children.
It was convention that in those time , the children were named after parents and grandparents. Their children's names were:
Edward (decd)
Helen Marion b 1838/40
Frederick Augustus b 1840
William Henry b 1842
Charles Alfred b 1844
Henry Alexander b 1845

Not sure what you can conclude from this : supports the name Henry, but also I believe the children of Richard and Elizabeth had names of Frederick and Augustus.
I haven't progressed anything from here, so would always welcome more input.

Paul

The names of the boys match the sons of Richard and Elizabeth exactly ... except for Richard.

BTW, does anyone know of a Mrs Norma Trewin of 11 Errard Street South, Ballarat. There is a request for info in Journal No. 2 of 1993 of the Norfolk FHS seeking the same information.

Not much progress has been made in 30 years  ;)

Better late than never. I have a baptism record for Mary Ann Dewing baptised 12 Jul 1810 Burnham Overy, Norfolk the daughter Richard Dewing and Elizabeth Herring. Why she was baptised in Burnham Overy is a mystery.

The marriage date on Edward Robin's death cert is 3 September 1836 - after they arrived though the place is England.

So speculating, could they have eloped or similar and that is why Mary Ann was not in Richard's will.

In relation to the Herring's there was another family of Herring's in Norwich that were very well to do. For example, there is another William Herring with birth and death dates very similar to our William Herring who was the Mayor of Norwich and Member of Parliament. I believe he was related the Thomas Herring, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1747 to 1757.

Much of the money came from the estate of William Herring who was also very wealthy.

Norfolk Records Office has a plan of the estate of Richard Dewing. https://nrocatalogue.norfolk.gov.uk/index.php/map-of-the-estate-of-richard-dewing-esq-in-ashwicken

Jadewing - not sure if you are still looking.

Elizabeth Goss Herring was the daughter of William Herring and Teamesine Goss. William Herring was the owner or proprietor of Ashwicken Hall in Ashwicken, Norfolk. At this stage I think Teamesine was the daughter of Thomas Goss - a wealth Norwich merchant.

Elizabeth married Richard Dewing. On the death of William Herring, Elizabeth inherited much of the estate. Richard and Elizabeth lived there for many years. I am still working my way through his will.

Jadewing I note from your profile we are located on the same city. Small world is we are both descended from Richard Dewing.
