Twin (Emma?) Blewett (1836- )

Personal details

Gender:

Male

Notes:

Two children of Gabriel and Ruth Blewett were baptised at the same time, on 14 May 1837, in Edward's case at least five months after he was born. The Blewetts had a daughter Emma in 1832, baptised 22 October 1832, and this was the Emma who died at the age of 50 in early October 1883. Why would they have called another child Emma with an Emma still living? A mystery I have not yet solved.

Birth

Date:

4 December 1836

Place:

Penzance, Cornwall

Notes:

From the birth notice in The West Briton, 3 December 1836 can be inferred as the date of birth of twins to Gabriel and Ruth Blewett. On Edward Blewett's death certificate his date of birth is given as 4 December 1836. I have gone with Edward's death certificate. The notice in The West Briton also states the twins were sons. Could sons have been a mistake?
