I need help please guys

As you all know i am not just concentrating on my Fewell's but all them  that are on the BMD indexes
I have a Fewell i need help with.

James Fewell (Fuell on 1851) (circa 1803-1813 Moreton End, Essex) and Mary Fletcher (circa 1822-1831 Laindon,Essex)
Children
Elizabeth Fletcher Fewell J-S 1838 Dunmow
Katharine Fewell 26/02/1845 Stock (Chelmsford Registration District)
Jeremiah Fewell 24/12/1846 Stock           "                  "             "
Ann Fewell J-M 1849 Chelmsford
James Fewell A-J 1851 Chelmsford
Lucy A Fewell/Fletcher circa 1861 (Stock,Essex according to census)
Mary Fletcher A-J 1853 Chelmsford
William Fewell/Fletcher circa 1854 (Ramsden, Essex according to census)
James Charles Fletcher A-J 1842 Chelmsford (Great Baddow, Essex according to census)

Now this is what is confusing me Mary Fletcher was James Fewell's housekeeper according to the 1851 census (HO107; 1775; 145; 30) she is down as being unmarried even though by this time there have been several children born,(but all listed on the 1851 census as Fletcher). So i ordered 2 of the childrens birth certificates (Jeremiah & Katharine), which came today.

Now because she (or James) states on the census that Mary is the unmarried housekeeper, i expected as they registered a few of the childrens names in Fewell that both parents would be on the birth cert, to make it look like they were married, which they have BUT!! on Katharines birth cert it states her father is James Fewell and her mother is Mary Fewell, late Kelly formally Fletcher.. Now i am assuming Fletcher is her maiden name and that she did indeed marry a mr Kelly (or would it be the other way round?), so why state on the census she is unmarried? IS it possible that Mr.Kelly didn't die and leave Mary a widow, but the marriage broke down and she reverted back to Mary Fletcher?

Then to top it all off on the 1861 census (RG9; 1078; 112; 14 )she states she is Mary Fletcher and is married and all the children appear as Fletcher even though she is still with James Fewell and i have some of the birth certs to say their births were registered as Fewell.

Throw some ideas or reasonings at me guys please, this family have really confused me and they also dissapear after James dies in 1877 (cant find them in 1871 census either) (am awaiting death cert to confirm it's correct James).
There is no marriage on the BMD for James Fewell to a Mary Fletcher or Mary Kelly, and if she did indeed marry a Mr.Kelly when? as the first child born (Elizabeth Fletcher Fewell) is in 1838!

Gis a hand guys please
Thanx
Kath xx

btw i think that James Fewell is the son of William Fewell & Frances Pavett, which would make James the grandson of William Fewell and MArgaret Twin(n)

Hi Kath
Hope all's well in your part of the world.
Going back a few posts to one of mine dated Oct 24.  I have Mary Ann Fewell  marrying James Rumsay 1800 Finchingfield.  I know your next question is where did I get the info.  Must break this bad habit of mine in not writing down who gave it to me, sorry.
Cheers
Julie

Hello Kath

I have Elizabeth Fletcher Fewell as the daughter of John Fewell and Maria Clarke and therefore the sister of my ancestor William Fewell.  I was given this information by another researcher who gave her a date of birth of 3 August 1838.
I will check further.

Hi Barbara
Hope you are well 

Thank you, it was just an assumption she was the daughter of James Fewell and Mary Fletcher because of the middle name, i will apply for all the childrens certs to see what is going on, i will also get Elizabeth Fletcher Fewell's just to make sure, unless whoever told you can get a copy in which case any chance they can send a copy to you so you could pass it onto me,
I will change the info i have on Elizabeth Fletcher to what you have told me and just await confirmation from you or the birth cert hunnie

Thanx so much

Hello again Kath

I have dug out the correspondence on Elizabeth Fletcher Fewell which took place in 2001.

The researcher has the marriage certificate of Elizabeth Fletcher Fewell who married George Rolf/Rolfe on 20 May 1861.  On the marriage cert she gives her father's name as John. He also has her birth certificate.  She was born in Great Canfield 3 August 1838 the daughter of John Fewell and Maria nee Clarke.

I believe the Rolfs were living next door to John Fewell and his son Isaac in the 1871 census but will check.

Another researcher suggested that Maria Clarke's parents were James Clarke and Elizabeth Fletcher married at High Roding in 1800.  This would account for the middle name of Fletcher.

I will try to contact the researcher who gave me this information.

Barbara

Did I give you the details from the death certificates of William Fewell and Hannah Ann Fewell nee Morrell?

[Barbara F]

The Rolfe family is next door to John Fewell in 1871.  In 1861 Elizabeth Fletcher Fewell is living with her father in High Roding.  She has 2 illegitimate children.

This does all seem to check out.
