Hi Julie, great to find someone researching the same Fewell line, I am also researching William Fewell, I hadn't located his marriage yet although I had found a lead pointing to Felsted. I have found four children of William and Margaret so far, no doubt there are others out there somewhere, all four baptised in Gt Waltham.
William Fewell 24 Jan 1779.
Melly Fuel 18 Jun 1786.
Samuel Fuel 1 Mar 1789.
Sophia Fuel 15 May 1791. Sophia is my ancestor, she married into my Searles line.
Whilst over in the UK in 2002 I found purely by chance the following baptism in the Felsted PRs, William Fewell baptised 5 Feb 1744, parents William and Hannah. Unfortunately at that point my time in the UK was up so I was unable to check if he married or was buried at Felsted.
Do you have the full date of his marriage to Margaret Twinn in 1768 and was the info from Parish Registers ?
Do you have any details of William and Margaret's children ?
Hope the info is of use to you, all being well I will be in Essex later this year and intend to follow up on this family.

Yes I will keep in touch. I have contacted a friend who has some of the Felsted PRs on fiche, to see if he can locate the 1768 marriage of William Fewell and Margaret Twinn also to check if any of their children were baptised in Felsted between 1768 and 1776. I know he hasn't a full set of Felsted fiche, I'm just hoping that he has fiche covering those dates, so fingers crossed!!

Hi Susie1,
Thanks a lot for the info, I had previously confirmed the baptisms of William, Melly, Samuel & Sophia in parish registers but still have the other two from the IGI to confirm, Mary & James, also a John abt 1790 mentioned by Julied. Very interested to hear of Milic (could be Milicent) who married William Eve because I have an Eve line at Gt Waltham and High Easter. I haven't a found a William Eve in my line but then I don't pretend to have found all of them. Around the time Milic Fewell and William Eve were born my Eves were being baptised at High Easter but there are gaps!
Where did you find Milic ? Out of interest I would like to find out where she was born/baptised.
Do you have any Eves or Fewells in your tree?

Hi Findem
Milic's marriage I found on the Essex IGI, while going throught the fiche last week. But, I have seen the name before somewhere and at the moment I can't remember where. It was in a list along with all the other children. If I remember I will let you know.
I am doing the Fewell line, and at the moment have been trying to put all the births, marriages and deaths I have found in Great Canfield in some kind of order.
I think I have got our link back to John who married Elizabeth Lanham in
1768. John was not born in Great Canfield, or at least I can't find a birth but all his children were.
When I started with the Fewell's they were living in Edmonton area, but traced them back to Great Canfield.
Which line are you doing?
Sue

Hi Julie & Susie,
I'm originally from Chelmsford, Essex but now living in New South Wales, Australia, OK Julie, now you know where Susie and I are from, so where are you located ?
Susie, if you check my post of 4/6/04 it will explain my line and save me writing it again (I'm a slow typer). Haven't heard yet from the friend in the UK who has some of the Felsted PR fiche, so I'm hoping that means he does have the relevant fiche to do my Fewell/Twinn etc lookup !!.

The more I think about Millic Fewell who married William Eve 9 Jul 1804 at Gt Watham (per IGI) the more convinced I am that Millic and Melly baptised 18/6/1786 at Gt Waltham are one and the same. I seem to recall that my wife and I struggled a bit with the baptism entry writing before deciding on Melly, perhaps it was a dodgey i that looked like an e. It's a shame I didn't photocopy the register entry so I could now recheck it. When I'm able, I'll recheck it in the PR and also look at the marriage entry. I will in the meantime chase up my original notes to see if I commented on any difficulty in deciphering Melly.

Hi Julie & Sue, My friend has confirmed the marriage, William Fewell married Margaret Twin (as spelt, no double n) 3 May 1768 at Felsted, in the presence of Edward Connell & Thos Green. He found no children of theirs in Felsted, he also checked a Gt Waltham fische and confirms the children we already have. The Mary Ann you mentioned is only shown as Mary in the register fische but the date is correct. Another entry in the Gt Waltham Baptism Register fische read "........... of William & Margaret Fewell baptised Jan 20 1770". My friend wrote that the name part of the entry was not illegible, or crossed out, it was just blank. It begs the question was this a still-born child? I wonder whether the original Gt Waltham register could contain an explanatory note somewhere which hasn't been put on the fische? So apart from the unnamed 1770 entry in Gt Waltham there are no baptisms in Felsted & Gt Waltham between 1768 & 1776 , so where were William & Margaret between 1770 & 1776?. Bit of a mystery there at the moment, unless of course they abstained for a while.
