I think he was born in 1862 in Cornwall, & he married a lady with the sir name of Pye.? He had my grandad Ernest in St Maybin,Cornwall in 1884, it would be nice to know if he had any brothers/sisters or any facts/parents e.t.c. about henry or his wife. |

I believe this is Henry Blewett (born 1860 in St. Mabyn, Cornwall. He was aged 1 in the 1861 census at St. Mabyn. He had at least 8 brothers and sisters: Elizabeth (b.1852), William (b.1853), Mary (b.1855), Emma (b.1857), John (b. 1862 - he emigrated to Australia in 1912), Fanny (b.1864), Emma (b.1867) and Sarah Jane (b.1870). They were all the children of John Blewit (spelling seems to vary each generation) - 1813-1894 - who married Phillipa Keat Langdon (b.1829 in St. Teath). They were married on 26th December 1849. |

Hi Anne, Thank you for replying to my request. My great grandad Henry was a gardener & I believe he was married to a lady who's maiden name was Petheroe who came from Bodmin. I've only just got started on this task & not doing very well. I'am down the line of Henry's son Ernest who married Daisy Conner, so do you think we are related somewhere or could it be a different Henry. Regards Linda. |

Hi Linda. My Blewett ancestors come from St. Mabyn. My g.grandfather William Blewett(b.1853) had 2 brothers (& 6 sisters) The brothers were Henry (born 1860) and John (b.1862). I don't know who Henry married but I have quite a lot of info about John who married Eliza Jane Pyne in 1892. Their third son was Ernest John Blewett (b.1897 in St. Mabyn) John (1862) and his wife Eliza emigrated to Australia in 1912 along with all their children. Does this sound like your grandfather's family? |
