Joseph or Herbert Hewitt Armagh to Canada (Ontario)
« on: Saturday 01 July 17 12:28 BST (UK) »
Looking for great Uncle Joseph or Possibly Herbert Hewitt.

Born in Armagh, Northern Ireland in 1887 to William Hewitt and Eleanor Boyd.
Siblings:
James William b. 1883
Thomas b. 1885
Robert b. 1889
Agusta b. 1892
Elanor b. 1898

We think Joseph/Herbert went to Canada taking his sister Agusta with him. She is buried in Toronto, Canada and was married to Joseph Parke.

We are unable to find any information about what happened to Joseph. Only have register of Birth and no further whereabouts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Looked at Augusta's obituary in the Toronto Star, Dec 13, 1972 page 58.  Her 5 children are named, but there is no mention of any siblings.
