Interesting thread as i have ties to the Bedfield Freures. My 5 th great grandfather was a Benjamin Freure (father John Fruar) who married Elizabeth Pretty or Pritty 1767 Bedfield.. Their son Samuel b 1772, my 4th g grandfather spelled his name Frewer.. He married Sarah or Susannah Tuttle ( Turthill) and their child Samuel Freure b. 1805 married Sarah Oxborrow in 1834 Fressingfield..
My family, Samuel, 1772, 3rd g grandfather Samuel 1805 and siblings Sarah Jane Frewer b. 1807, Marianne Frewer b. 1811 William Freure b. 1808 and Mary Freure b. 1827-1830 and Samuels wife Sarah Oxborrow came to Ontario Canada..via New York in 1834.. So the name seems interchangeable .. But my Canadian Freures from Wellandport and St. Catherines Ontario were always spelled FREURE..
Cheers,
