Thanks a heap for adding to the confusion Susie, we need that like a hole in the head!!, there was already more than enough to go round. Seriously though it does look as though some careful rechecking is required "just in case". Apart from that Jewell versus Fewell thing, we still have a 6 year gap to contend with, so as you say Julie there must be children baptised elsewhere (at least a Margaret). I can't imagine them being celibate for six years, especially as there was no Telly in those days. It will be great to get this business sorted and be able to move on to determining the next ancestor. He I believe will be a William Fewell son of William & Hannah, baptised 5 Feb 1744 at Gt Waltham. Being baptised in 1744, he looks promising for the William who married Margaret Twin in 1768, subject to passing tests such as did he die before 1768 or marry someone else.

I reckon you are right about widening our Fewell search. I have tried the IGI for Fewell clues but haven't come up with anything that I can see as useful, no doubt it is there staring me in the face. I must one of these days get myself a copy of the British Vital Records disc, it might be more forthcoming than the IGI, not only for Fewell but other family names. Well my wife is waiting for her turn on the net, so I guess it's the Telly for me.

Hi all,
Found an interesting "Fewells of Essex" site run by Trevor Fewell, it has Fewells we are interested in also the Chignall St James connection. The URL is www.trevorfewell.clara.net/ well worth a look.
I obtained the URL from Annemarie Shuttle, her site is also worth looking at has loads of different surnames plus Fewell, I'll sort out her URL and put it on the Essex board.

Hi Julie, Sue, Jaq, Kath and Trevor,
Has anyone searched the Chignall St James Parish Registers to check if William Fewell and Margaret Twin baptised any children there, either between 1770 and 1776 or after 1791? I know you won't have Jaq but you remarked that you have become attached to the Fewell family so I didn't want you to feel left out
PS If you haven't registered on RootsChat yet Trevor, it's time you did

Welcome MiddleEnglander.
From memory I believe that Gt Waltham, was once called Waltham Parva. I have read that once people could no longer support themselves and were to go on to Parish Relief, they were removed to the the Parish where they were baptised. Thanks for the Chignall St James info.
