Samuel was previously married to an Emma ........ this is the family in 1881, even though his age is different.

I think in fact his age is marked on the census image as 28, but it is blurred, and has been read by the transcriber as 38

Is this his birth?

Name: Samuel Hewitt
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1852
Registration district: Coventry
Inferred County: Warwickshire, West Midlands
Volume: 6d
Page: 329 (click to see others on page)

Also he married before Catherine Cox, who was this?

I am looking for details of who Samuel Hewitt's parents were and how many brothers/sisters he had - I know already that he had two brothers - Richard and David, Richard apparently moved to Philadelphia USA. Samuel eventually married Catherine A Cox in Coventry but It would not appear that he was born in Coventry. I am also curious as to what happened to David, who he married, children etc?

Thanks,

Ben
