I can find my my gx4 granddad's marriage in 1839 and his death in 1842. He was Abraham Jackson Hewson and lived and died in Scarborough. However, how do I trace any further back? Do I need to go to Scarborough, or are there ways of doing it on the internet? I'm a member of ancestry so is there a way of tracing him through that? I can't even find him on the 1841 census! Please help!

Thanks,
Sharon x

Thanks for all that Glitter Baby. I'd got his marriage to Hannah Pape, and that was all. Thanks again.

Daughter's birth, not sure how it will help you though

Births Sep 1840
Hewson Mary Hannah Scarbro 24 464

Looks like Abraham was born much than 1818 going by the census.

EDit: Maybe he was married before
