In 1839, Hampshire yeoman John Hewett died leaving behind a wife and eight children to manage on their own. Times were tough, and after their landlord put their farm up for sale, Jane Hewett emigrated to Australia with all her children. Graeme Davison traces the lives of two generations of the Hewett family, setting them in their historical context in both the UK and Australia.
