Thomas Valentine Hewitt
« on: Tuesday 19 August 14 13:55 BST (UK) »
Hi

I am trying to find info on Thomas Valentine Hewitt. Born in Portsea in around 1853. I have a record of him in the workhouse aged 8. He later married Hannah and moved to Leicester.

I cannot find a birth or details of siblings or parents. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Neil

There is one born 1849, he is on 1861 census age 12 with parents Charles and Ann
RG 9. 634. 18.  32

On a vessel in 1871
In Durham as a coastguard, married to a Jane in 1881

So clearly a different one than yours

I believe he ended up in the workhouse. How can I find out, his reason for being sent there?
