Hi All,
It appears as though William and Elizabeth may only have been in Takeley long enough to have two children baptised there, John 22 Jan 1769 and Elizabeth 21 Apr 1771, John must have died somewhere between 1769 and 1773, hence the second John born abt 1773.  So where were the other four born, obviously Lt Easton and Gt Dumow are both likely places and as the two children baptised at Takeley were the middle two of the six children, perhaps three or more parishes are involved.  It seems that the more info we find, the bigger the puzzle becomes.

Hi Findem et al .....

Sounds like a good hypothesis to me.  All we need now is a kind person who can help us with the Dunmow / Easton records !

Jaq or kevan are you out there?? !  Help ! Any ideas of anybody with these records ??

Even if we started with the 1841 0r 51 census and worked back we would be covering new ground - there has been very little done in those areas so far that I'm aware of.

As you say, the mystery deepens.

Aye

PS - Anybody heard how Essexbird got along at the ERO ?

Hi,
   I have Thaxted CMB on fiche from 1693 to 1805, what are you looking for in these. I thought it would take longer to scan through all the chat/s.
Best

Hi MiddleEnglander
I gave you everything I found on Dunmow area for 1841, a couple of weeks ago.

Hi Sue ....

So you did.  Need to get my brain in gear !

If I remember correctly it didn't give us many links - I'll go back and have another look straight away.

So it looks like we need a kind soul who has some of the parish records for the 1700's data.  If nothing comes up in the next few days I'll look at ordering them from the ERO.  There are quite a few though.

Thanks again for the Dunmow info.

Aye

Hi All,
If the Lt Easton check is not carried out by early September, I will be over in Essex for around 5 weeks from early September and able to do it, I have Searles searches to do in Gt & Lt Easton PRs so I could extend the search dates to include Fewells.  I can't make any promises to search Gt Dunmow because I have a list of PRs to search as long as my arm.  I won't of course be in the ERO all of the 5 weeks but I'll be treading the fine line between research and staying married, tough decision!.       Luckily, June doesn't read these posts.

Kevan ....

I'm just getting my head around Thaxted.

A couple of us seem to be missing William Fewells born around 1720 in particular. We've tried Takeley and the Canfields - but no luck in finding them.  Thaxted and Dunmow are the missing areas of our search.

I'm after a William who married a lady thought be called Hannah - they look prime candidates to be the parents of my ggg grandfather, William Fuell b1744 at Felstead.

I know from a record on SEAX that there was an Isaac Fuell in Thaxted in the early - mid 1700's (he had his house repossessed !) but have no real records of any others.

There are a couple of very early entries in Boyds and the Takeley PRs which give Fewells linked to Thaxted too.  I'm talking about 1670 here.

So ...... any chance of a quick scan through the Thaxted records for the period, say, 1693 to 1730 ish please

aye

Hi everyone    my you have all been busy chatting while I've been doing the wedding thing.  It went really well, [ I cried too much but that's a 'mum thing' I think].  Anyway, back to this.  Kath I've just been looking thru your web page and have noted you have a Sarah Fewell b 1863 as a child of James Fewell and Elizabeth Turner - first time I've come across her or have I missed her somewhere?   Hope you're all keeping well, bye for now,
Julie
