Hi,

My gg granparents Joseph Knight HEWETT and Elizabeth Williams HARDING were married 1864 St Columb (Major?). They had two children: John Harding 1865 and Edith in 1866 before leaving Cornwall for Ontario, Canada. I think Joseph was a "labourer"

I wonder if more of Joseph's or Elizabeths family were around them living in the area.

I'm not sure what I'm seeking; maybe some more specific dates but I'd also love to know more about what it might have been like for people at the time in that area; what would have been available to them; what their religious affiliations might have been (methodist maybe) and what would make a family leave to such on such an adventure with two infant children etc.

Collecting data is fun but it is so much more meaningful to have an idea of the lives and stories!

Much thanks,

a.
