Help!! 
Is anyone researching the Fewings/Fewins name in Devon? Years ago there used to be a group of Fewings descendent's that kept in touch through a newsletter. I would love to hear from anyone looking for the Fewings name to share a few ideas or even exchange information.

Hi Magaret
My best friend was a Fewings. She lives in Somerset and has several sisters and a brother. Her father came from a large family, maybe children from 2 different fathers.
Good luck with your search.
Regards, Nicola.

Hi Nicola
Has your friend ever tried tracing her family tree? There were a lot of Fewings tracing their ancestors a few years ago but I seldom find anyone looking now.
Regards
Margaret

Hi Sue
I am looking for the birth or parents of John Fewins/Fewings who married Ann Styles in Creacombe in 1828. It has taken me 20 years to get this far and I have now hit the proverbial brick wall. I know Ann was born in Morebath but John died sometime between 1832 and 1839 and so far I can't find when or where he died and can't even attempt a guess at his age when he married. In 1839 Ann had a son called Nathaniel Fewings and says she is a widow. On familysearch there is a christening of a Nathaniel Dart Fewings the same date and place so I am presuming that it is the same child.
The strange thing is she re-married a Nathaniel Davey so I think that the child was his and not John's.
Do you know if your John had a child called John? I know I am clutching at straws but I don't know where to look next.
Regards
Margaret

Hi Sue
Thanks for replying. The only reference to the name Dart I can think of is that Creacombe is on the river Dart. No!don't even go there I had already thought of that link!!! 
I think I maybe able to help you. A few years ago someone contacted me about the Angell/Fewings name and I found that an Angell had married a Fewings but for the life of me I can't find the reference and I normally keep everything to do with the Fewings name just in case. I do know that some of my Fewings used the mother's maiden name as a middle name. If I do come across the link I will let you know but I am almost sure I saw it on the IGI and then a census return.
Thanks once again.
Regards
Margaret

A lot of my Fewins seemed to have Angell in their names. One day I may find where that has come from.
Well hello there cousin! John Angell Fewings is my great great great grandfather! He married Jane Alford 3 Jun 1838 in Monk Okehampton - I just got the marriage certificate last weekend. Their daughter Mary married Frederick Waycott, and their son William Waycott was my father's father's father.
John Angell Fewings is the son of John Fewin(g)s and Ann Stanbury, married 26 Sep 1813 in Hatherleigh. Ann Stanbury is the daughter of Peter Stanbury and Ann Angell, married 20 Sep 1781 also in Hatherleigh. All this is on the IGI, but I've got a lot more if you'd like to compare notes. Looking forward to hearing from you.
