Believed to have married a William Hemmings in Warwickshire about 1850.
Elizabeth is a sister to my Gt Gt Grandfather William.
Do you have any information about Elizabeth please .or her 4 sons Jesse , Joseph, William and John. The sons were all born in Warwickshire.
Are you related to them, if so please get in touch?

If you go to
http://freebmd.org.uk
you can find what would seem to be the birth of Jesse (the first one I looked for):
Births Dec 1852 Hemmings Jesse Rugby 6d 380
I don't see a marriage for Elizabeth and William ... there's a possible William Hemmings + Elizabeth Reader marriage in 1841 in Coventry.
(I searched for William Hemmings marrying Elizabeth 1840-1852; the results only tell you which names appear on the same page, not who married whom.)
You can search for the children's marriages in the right timeframe, once you know their birthdates.
With Jesse's birth info and father's name, searching the 1871 census, we get:
Name: William Hemmings Age: 40 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1821 Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Elizabeth Gender: Male Where born: Sawbridge, Warwickshire, England
Name: Elizabeth Hemmings Age: 36 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1825 Relation: Wife Spouse's Name: William Gender: Female Where born: Bishops Itchington, Warwickshire, England Civil Parish: Wolfhampcote County/Island: Warwickshire Country: England Registration district: Rugby Sub-registration district: Dunchurch ED, institution, or vessel: 13 Household schedule number: 3
Harriett Compton 12 Elizabeth Hemmings 36 Jesse Hemmings 8 Joseph Hemmings 6 William Hemmings 40 William Hemmings 2 Jesse Newmans 32
The transcription has been completely screwed up. Young Jesse Hemmings has been assigned a wife Harriet. In fact, Harriet Compton is "daughter-in-law", meaning stepdaughter. Jesse Newmans is brother-in-law.
So it seems that Elizabeth Newman(s) was first married to a Compton.

Can't find a Hemmings-Compton marriage with those given names (there's a Joseph marrying a Susannah).
Can't find a Compton-Newman(s) marriage either.
Well, not sure what all the relationships are -- may leave you to play with this yourself! -- but this seems to be Harriet Compton in 1851:
Name: Harriett Compton Age: 4 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1847 Relation: Daughter Father's Name: Joseph Mother's Name: Esther Gender: Female Where born: Sawbridge, Warwickshire, England Civil Parish: Wolfhampcote County/Island: Warwickshire Country: England Registration district: Rugby Sub-registration district: Crick ED, institution, or vessel: 4 Household schedule number: 74
Harriett Compton 4 Andrew Newmans 9 Benjamin Newmans 4 Eliza Newmans 7 Emma Newmans 19 Esther Newmans 45 John Newmans 15 Joseph Newmans 43 Joseph Newmans 17 Samuel Newmans 12 William Newmans 24
Maybe Harriet Compton was Jesse Newmans's daughter?

And here's the household in 1841 -- Elizabeth Newmans Hemmings in her parents' household:
Name: Elizabeth Newmans Age: 17 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1824 Gender: Female Where born: Warwickshire, England Civil Parish: Wolfhamcote Hundred: Knightlow (Southam Division) County/Island: Warwickshire Country: England Registration district: Rugby Sub-registration district: Dunchurch
Andrew Newmans 1 Mo Elizabeth Newmans 17 Emma Newmans 9 Esther Newmans 35 Jesse Newmans 12 John Newmans 5 Joseph Newmans 34 Joseph Newmans 7 Samuel Newmans 2 William Newmans 14
Of course, this wasn't what you were wanting to know!
But it still looks like Harriet Compton could have been Elizabeth's daughter by a previous marriage/relationship.
The sons in the 1861 household all show as born in Sawbridge, so with their DOBs and that info, they should be traceable in later censuses.

Son Joseph's household in 1891 in Leamington:
Alice Maura Hemmings 8 Charlotte Hemmings 33 Ellen Eliza Hemmings 12 Harriett Mary Hemmings 10 John George Hemmings 6 Joseph Hemmings 36
Looks like son William in 1891 in Coventry:
Emma Hemmings 27 Mabel M Hemmings 1 William Hemmings 32
Father William's household in 1881 in Grandborough:
John Hemmings 17 (i.e. born abt 1864) William Hemmings 60 William Hemmings 22 Joseph Woodward 51 William Woodward 31
Probably Jesse in 1901:
Elizath Hemmings 46 (born Grandborough) Elizth Ann Hemmings 19 Frances H Hemmings 4 Horace A Hemmings 15 Jesse Hemmings 48 (born Trowbridge) William Alfd Hemmings 23
Not spotting John in 1891 or 1901.
