One of my ancestors James Woodhams 1804-1893,
According to the Crowborough census of 1838 James worked for a Mrs Hewitt
at Lye Green,Sussex.
The interesting thing is James mother was Judith Hewitt could this Hewitt be a relation.
I have no more info on the Hewitts.
Any one any idea's ?

you'd need to follow the Hewitts, not the Woodhams, to determine the connection.

All I can say, is that it was very common to employ relatives ........ especially a wealthier person hiring a poor relation.

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.
