FEWELL Family

[Susie1]

Hi Kathy
I would very much like to see your tree please.  And especially any info you have on the John b c1740.  I will pm you, with my email address.
We have a John born around 1740 ish but can't find any birth.  There are no records in Great Canfield for the time when he would have been born.  So we have been looking in other places.  There was one born in Takeley, but I understand there was a family in Little Canfield but are not sure if they had a a John or not.    He married Elizabeth Lanham in 1768 Great Canfield, but he was a widow when he married her. His previous wife was I think Mary ?.
As for James and Elizabeth Doe..... Have you been able to confirm for definate that Sarah, Mary, Jane and possibly Isaac are Elizabeth Does.  Because I havn't been able to find any concrete info on this.
I know for sure that Emma, William, Susannah and Stephen are not Elizabeth Does.

Hello All .......

Just to let you know that I'm still around and kicking !  My silence has mainly been due to a lack of notifications (in part) and pressures of work and family (in the main).  Having seen all the marvelous exchanges and persistence shown by you folks (especially you, Kath and Sue) I feel inspired to get back into the fray once more.

So - I've made a promise to myself that I'll update the Essex Fewells website over the next few months and will no doubt be asking for data and clarifications.  This said, I was happily surprised to find that I had Kath's Moreton names on there already and also many of those mentioned by Kathy (Hello Kathy - great to see you - sounds like you've got lots of interesting information, especially on a branch of the Fewell family that hasn't been mentioned/researched/published quite as much).

On the Moreton names, Kath, I think the important thing is that it highlights the fact that there are probably a fair number of small parishes in the Takeley - Dunmow - Great Waltham triangle the records of which we haven't explored .... YET !

Hi Sue,
I have emailed you but thought I'd reply to your questions here incase anyone else is interested (or knows otherwise!).
John Fewell b1742 (I checked the year and it's 1742 not 1740 like I said before) was born in Takeley, Essex. He had twin brothers called William and Thomas  who were born 1740 also in Takeley. Their parents were Thomas Fewel and Elizabeth Judd.
I only have a record of John marrying Elizabeth Lanham so can't tell you about his previous marriage.
'My' William b1755 and Thomas b1756 were born in Little Canfield. Their father was called William.
The names I have for James Fewell and Elizabeth Doe's children are: Sarah, Mary, Jane, William and Isaac. Whether this information is correct or not I can't say. Until reading this thread I hadn't ever condidered that James married twice and both times to an Elizabeth.
Kathy.
P.S. Hello Trevor, I am sure we have had contact in the past as I have your Fewell website on my favourites list.

Hi M E,
Pleased to hear/see you are alive and kicking.

Hey Kath! Did you find Elizabeth Fewell 24 Apr 1768 at Gt Waltham (it was actually Felsted),  or did the unbelievable happen 

Regards to all.

Hi Kath,

I know you won't be reading this for some while, M E has sent me a P M explaining the situation.

In the mean time I will go through my research notes to recheck the Elizabeth Fewell entry to see what the problem is.  Pity I can't just nip out to the ERO and recheck Felsted, oh! for the "Beam me down Scotty technology" 

Regards,

[findem]

Hi All,
Sorry Kath, Elizabeth Fewell, daughter of William and Margaret was baptised 24 April 1768 at FELSTED, not Gt Waltham 

I will go into the other posts and modify them in case They lead someone else astray.

Regards

All ....

I've just been on the Church of England database for Clergy and found a very old Fewell entry.  It's for:

Christopherus Fewell who was appointed vicar of Whaddon (Cambs in the diocese of Ely) in 1565

If memory serves me correctly there was another Fewell who was a vicar at around this time - just over the county line at Withersfield, Suffolk - so quite an eruption of them !

If I've read the record correctly Christopherus may have hailed from Yorkshire and returned there in the 1570s.

I hope this is of interest .....

Aye
