In the photo with his father is son Hugh Frederick Hewlings and daughter Sara Hewlings (b. 1860, d. 1872). Samuel Hewlings was the uncle of my great-grandmother, Mary Kitson (nee Hewlings).

Contrary to reports of his birthplace in publications here in New Zealand, Samuel was born in London on 15 May 1819 at St Pancras, Chads Row, London in the County of Middlesex (I have a copy of his birth certificate) and not Wallingford, Berkshire. He was the son of Hugh Hewlings and Sarah (nee Piper).
