Devonport 1841 census lookup
« on: Sunday 02 October 05 00:56 BST (UK) »
I am stuck for the birth and parents of my gt Grandfather Frederick Howard Hewson (grandfather and uncle named the same.) The only reference we have is from the 1891 census for Newport Mon giving his details as b 1843 Devonport. Nothing on GRO, IGI etc. 

Could SKS with access to the 1841 Devonport census please see if there are any HEWSONs , possibly misspelt eg Hooson, Hussen.

Hewson is a rare name in Devon.

Many thanks. DF

Hi
I cant help with the 1841 for Devon but have found a Frederick Hewson born 1843/44, Stoke Ferry Norfolk on 1861 and 1871 census for England.  There don't appear to be any more Frederick Hewson's on the census born  in the decade of the 1840s.
I have looked on 1851 census for Devon and not found any Hewson in the County at that time. 
regards
Mary.

Thanks Mary. Interesting that Frederick is a recurrent first name in this family, otherwise no clues in naming patterns. Will investigate.
