Bob,

There were two other Irish Frewens in the 1960's living in England:

Arthur Frewen was a school master at Hawtreys prep school, who taught English and who wrote the play The Man in the Green Coat which was shown in the West End of London in 1962.

William known as Bill Frewen; his wife Eileen and son William, they lived at Gerrard's Cross. Bill was a gynaecologist.

Any information from whence they came please?

Bob, Thank you so much for your response, I am grateful for the Tipperary information.

Below I have found out the Frewen line from which I am descended and which might be of interest to you too.  I have a bit more information from Worcester Cathedral's archives if that interests you as well, I can post it here?

Where in Ireland do you live, please?  I visit about once a year in Dublin, Monaghan and Galway, all my Leslie cousins and the Vandenberghe family in Tipperary, their grandson is my godson, Oscar Gidley-Kitchin.  And you know about Innishannon and Moreton's house which was burned down in the Troubles in 1922?

Best wishes.

Hello,
I know I am 6 years late.
However, I have almost finished writing a family history which partially includes the Frewens, mostly in England, from 1470 to date.
My father Roger 1914-1972 took me to Tipperary in 1967 to meet up with a family of 4 successful Frewen brothers.  This was the first time the two branches of the family had met for 300 years.  Those family members who had supported Cromwell found themselves in Ireland at the Restoration and decided to stay.  The Family royalists were royally rewarded for their support and their money which had paid for Charles II's army, two of them lived in Holland under Cromwell with prices on their heads.
It was a happy reunion.  I was 13 and I remember the full-sized snooker table in their house!
My great-grandfather Moreton Frewen 1853-1924 was MP for Cork, briefly.
We have Leslie cousins in Galway and Monaghan - Castle Leslie.
Please feel free to get in touch if you would like to share more information.
