Thomas Hewson of Withernwick and Canada
     


Thomas was a Withernwick man born in 1814 the son of David and Lucinda Hewson.
On 14th October 1845 he was married to Silvia Hezle in Leeds
, at some point he emmigrated and ended up
in Lacolle, Quebec, Canada.
It would be good to find out when this was.
  
Below is a cutting from a website listing the English emigres to Lacolle.
Below that is a link to the website.
  
I cannot find Thomas in the censuses but the name is not unknown in the village.
For example, in the 1834 electoral roll there is William Hewson Senior and Junior - click here
