She was especially known as an alpine skier on the Canadian Olympics team in the 50's. Now 93 years old, she still lives in Montreal and possesses a great deal of documents detailing our family history.A writer is currently working on her biography. I am desperately searching for a family crest if there is one. If anyone has it, could you please share it with me? Thankyou <br />A.W.

My mother was a Hewson and talked about it all through my life so it was quite a thrill!! We contacted the Hewsons prior to visiting Ireland and they graciously let us visit and told us all about the history and spent the day showing us around, but said we wouldn't be able to stay the night (we already were booked at a B & B) but by evening, they asked us to stay the night and, of course, I was thrilled. The wife (no names here out of respect for them) gave me about 10 CDs for our trip, and when I admired a brass Claddagh on the wall, she insisted I take it. They were just lovely folks!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561249004966522983.post-7417494416750113442023-02-20T00:28:45.899+00:002023-02-20T00:28:45.899+00:00My grandparents (Edgar Ellis Hewson) visited Castl...My grandparents (Edgar Ellis Hewson) visited Castle Hewson in 1906, my parents (William Bell Hewson) visited in 1957, and I had a wonderful visit with Maurice and Pamela in July 1972. Maurice immediately figured I was part of the Amherst, Nova Scotia Hewson family. I remember every inch of the “tour” from the Waterford crystal collection to the horsehair mattress I slept on.

I've visited here and was welcomed by the current owners who are also decendents. It was so lovely to visit and the view from the back garden was beautiful but heartbreaking also knowing the trauma that happened here. Very, very beautiful building.

My mum's maiden name was Hewson but I'm sure you only knew her married name.

I would just like to say thank you once again for indulging me (an inquisitive tourist), and showing me around, assuming that you were the owner(s) at that time (respecting your privacy, I will not disclose details). I recall seeing a massive timber beam that was destined as a replacement for a presumably decayed item within the castle! I believe the C18 house that sits alongside was also scheduled for restoration at some future date. With best wishes, Mike Searle.

Although I feel no mention of the current Hewson generation who still inhabits the home should be mentioned. The heading “was home to generations”, in fact it still is home for the Hewson family.
