FEWELL Family

Thanks for that input Lord Vader, it's very very interesting.

I've made a copy which I will print off and study at leisure to get my head around matters.

Of course my/our research was long before Ancestry's Essex Parish Register Index (EPRI) came into being and really wasn't making much headway.  Then after further research and lots of discussions on RootsChat and other means plus the message from the Reverend Mill's son, I came round to the theory of the Suffolk to Thaxted and then to Takeley etc line.

My Fewell line starts off with Sophia Fuel (Tuel on the EPRI  ) who married into my Searles, her parents were definitely William and Margaret (nee Twinn) Fewell/Fuel.

I have recorded William and Thomas sons of Thomas and Elizabeth Fewell baptised 27 Apr 1740 at Takeley.  Thomas Fewell married Elisabeth Judd 26 Jul 1735 at Takeley.
Also a William Fewell who married Elizabeth Green 7 Dec 1761 at Takeley.

Not sure if it's noted on this topic so as I'm running out of time I'll note it here, the Rev Mills considered that the Philip Fuell who married Ann Judd was the Philip son of John Fuell/Fewell and Elizabeth Green baptised 6 Jun 1714 at Little Canfield.  John and Elizabeth married 3 Jun 1707 at Gt Dunmow by licence.

Looks like I have work to do.

Regards.

Hi Lord Vader,

Forgot to ask do you have Fewell ancestors?

Regards.

Hi Findem,

My Fewell or Fuells migrated to New Zealand in the late 1800s, they stem from Philip Fewell/Fuell and Sarah Hawkins. Philip was baptised 1799 at Sawbridgeworth to James Fewell & Sarah Gladwin. James was baptised 1766 at Hatfield Broad Oak to William Fewell and Elizabeth Green who at the time lived at Brewers End in Takeley. There is a DNA connection between myself and another descendant of William and Elizabeth via their son Philip Fewell who married Ann bird and via their daughter Milly (aka Millicent, Amelia) Fewell who married Charles Clarke.

I am more of the understanding that William who married Elizabeth Green is the correct son of Philip Fewell and Ann Judd due to ample evidence to suggest this is correct including Philip signing William's marriage certificate in 1761 as a third witness. The name Philip has been commonly used in every generation since William down my line well into the 1900s.

Hello All,

I hope everyone is well.
As it's been 2 years since i last posted, I thought i'd better check up on you all.

Nothing as changed within the Fewell debacle.
Still no further forward with William Fewell Great Waltham.

The 1837- present Fewell database is coming along, always managing to find a snippet here and there to add to it.

One day we will get to the bottom of it all i hope.

Hi Kath,

Hope you and yours are OK.

It would be great to find a really definitive solution to the "Fewell debacle" but it seems elusive.

Regards.
