Hi Sue

Thank you for your post.
I am a descendant of one of the two Hesom brothers who were taken out to South Africa by the Wade family in 1850. It seems their mother was a Wade. My branch of the family settled in Dundee in northern Natal. 
I'd really appreciate any info you have!

Hi John

Until i came across this thread i had no idea that any of the Wade family had gone out to South Africa. Looking back on previous replies it seems Elizabeth bpt 16.3.1817 Stonton Wyville is your ancestor ?
She was the daughter of Jonathon and Ann Wade and was one of 10 children. Is this the right family ?

If so , back 4 generations to a William Wade and Alice.
They had 9 children one of them a Jonathon Wade who would be your ancestor and another called Henry who was my G x 6 Grandfather.

You perhap's already have this info but if not i would be happy to pass it on to you.

I have been researching the Hesom line & found a few facts that may be of interest. My line is from Joseph Hesom born 1780 Willoughby, Warwick, England it looks as though he had a brother James. they both appear in the 1820's voters lists & the 1824 land records. In Willoughby church records it lists the following :-
Baptism George Hesom 22 DEC 1811   Willoughby, Warwick, England parents are James Hesom & Mary
 Marriage George Hesom to Elizabeth Wade  28 SEP 1841   Saint Andrew, Rugby, Warwick, England
Baptism record for 3 children of George & Elizabeth are Robert Hesom 07 DEC 1845   Willoughby, Warwick, England 
Elizabeth Anne Hesom  01 MAR 1842   Willoughby, Warwick, England
 Mary Hesom  01 MAR 1842   Willoughby, Warwick, England .
In the 1841 census George is listed as a builder. There is a death record in   Jun 1849 .
Then a marriage record Name: Elizabeth Hesom
Year of Registration: 1850
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
DISTRICT: East London
County: London, Middlesex
 
Name: Owen Owens
Year of Registration: 1850
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
DISTRICT: East London
County: London, Middlesex

I have since found this info.
Name: George Thomas HESOM
Given Name: George Thomas
Surname: Hesom
Sex: M
Birth: 5 Sep 1843 in Rugby,England
Death: 1920 in Pietermaritzburg,South Africa
Occupation: Councillor 1902 Pietermaritzburg,South Africa
BIOGRAPHY: - Hesom Street in Pietermaritzburg was named after him as he owned most of the property in that area.
- Both his parents being deceased, he came to Natal with the Byrne Settlers (in the Nile under Lidgett's scheme) with his Stepfather, Mr Owen and his aunt, Mrs Wade.
- At age 13 (mid 1850's) he traded in Zululand with his stepfather and Mr Vicar Brayhurst.
Father: George HESOM
Mother: Elizabeth WADE

Hi Sparky

My interest in this thread is the Wade connection. I am very curious about who the Aunt was ( Mrs Wade ) who accompanied the brothers to S.A.
Also in your message you mention a death of George Hessom and a marriage of a Elizabeth Hessom to a Owen Owens, do you think this is Georges widow ?
Sorry if i am being a little thick here but i am a bit confused who's who at the minute.

Regards Sue

Sue,
I found the info about the brothers & aunt mrs Wade in a tree posted on the world tree site by an Eric Bower when I googled the name HESOM. I was able to down load the file as a gedcom.
I think the marriage is Georges widow as the world tree describes mr Owens as the step father. I  forgot to mention the death record for George Hesom was in Barnet, Middlesex. The same district as the marriage of Elizabeth.
There was also a reference to a book about early South African settlers but I didn't note the title. I think I did a search on Pietermaritzburg,South Africa

Hi everyone,
Has anyone come across James Hesom? I believe he is the father of George Hesom who married Mary Wade. George was bap the son of James and Mary Hesom Willoughby Warwickshire 22 Dec 1811?  I am interested in Thomas HESOM who married Elizabeth MAYO 21 Dec 1772 Willoughby and wonder if James was a brother or cousin Any help would be appreciated
