FEWELL Family

[essexbird2004]

Hello Guys

Having trawled over the last 21 pages which i hasten to add took me 2 hours...with a small break for refreshment
I am none the wiser lol

Anyway A kind gentleman Pm'd me about the Fewell family and he is in touch with the grandchildren of Arthur Fewell & Harriet Gladwell. The grandchildren are in their late 70's and still live in the Waltham's

now the gentleman in question Alan has been speaking to the grandchildren for me and here is a quote from one of his e-mails

"Rita said that their Grandparents were Arthur & Harriet at Chignall, then Thomas their Gt Grandfather. She thought that maybe some previous generation might have come from Thaxted area, but wasn't sure"

Well she may not be sure but surely it's another small lead for all us resarching William Fewell & Margaret Twin

What defines the Thaxted area? How far is Takeley from Thaxted? How far is Felstead from Thaxted?

Also having looked as you all know at Little & Great Waltham PR's for a couple of years now there is only one other FEWELL (thats contempery with William in age) and that is Samuel FEWELL who was in Great Waltham in 1772 when he is a witness to a marriage and also in 1774 when he married Sarah Wood his marriage states he's of Great Waltham. Samuel was buried in Little Waltham in 1817 aged 69 which gives him a birth year of circa 1750....this is to much of a coincedence for me and I am assuming he may be Williams Brother until it can be proved otherwise. There are no bap. in G or L Waltham for Samuel so he just seems to appear in the early 1770's about the same time as William appears in Great Waltham!!!

So does anyone have any records of a Samuel Fewell being bap/born circa 1750
In a previous post it says John Fewell & Elizabeth Lanham had a son Samuel but when was this?
What years are misssing from the Thaxted Pr's?

I'd like to find a birth for this Samuel and also see if he has a brother William......

Can you all look at your notes and see what you have please...

Hope everyone is well

Hi Kath,

I found these some years ago:

Children of Thomas & Catarino ffewell, both baptised at Thaxted, a note in my "Spares" database states there was no other info attached to the entries.

Daniel 21 Feb 1714.
Mary 26 Dec 1716.

I wouldn't have been searching for Fewells at Thaxted so these two were probably just noticed in passing, it's  possible there are others.

Time for bed.

Regards.

Hi Kath
Samuel of John Fewel & Elizabeth Lanham are mine.
Samuel was born 1775 Great Canfield and died 1839 South Weald.  His siblings are James b1768, Charles 1769, Elizabeth 1771, Ann 1773, Alice 1776, William 1778, Philomon 1781, Sarah 1783, Lucy 1785.
It's John & Elizabeth that I can't get passed. They married in Great Canfield 3 Feb 1768, but I don't know where or when he was born. He was married to Mary before Elizabeth and had a son called John b1766.
I did wonder if maybe he was son of Thomas Fewel & Elizabeth Judd  m 20/07/1735 Takeley. they had William 27/4/1740, Thomas 27/04/1740 &
John 3/10/1742.

Hope everyone is keeping well.
Take care

Thanx D & Sue x

Ahh so that Samuel is far to late to be considered.
God this is becoming a nightmare

These 2 families have got to link up somewhere Sue i am positive of that just wish we could both get past our brickwalls
Anyway I will soldier on and see if there is anything else on the 'houdini's' of the Fewells

Yeah we are good here thanx
Hope all is well your end

I will have to take a look at the Thaxted records unless Kevan wants to look as i believe he has the records on fiche
I'll have to Pm him

Hi all,

A couple of Fewells I found during my recent (short) time at the ERO.

Chignal Smealey.
Looking for the Eve family I found Grace? daughter of James Fawell/Fewell baptised 19 Aug 1604 on D/P 351/1/1, that might have been amongst marriages because it appears in amongst some marriages in my notes.

Little Leighs.
Thomas Fewell, abode Black Notley, buried 3 Nov 1836 aged 77 years, on D/P 151/1/7.
I was searching the Lt Leighs burials 1820 1915 for John & Hannah Fletcher, Thomas was the only Fewell I noted in that period.

Only had time for 2 days and 2 hours at the ERO  , now having withdrawal symptoms.

I noticed a lone Fewell burial in Ashdon D/P 18/1/5 online image 12
1705 Fewell John
but no Fewell/Fuell baptisms seen between 1650s and 1730s in Ashdon.
Apart from Saffron Walden places near Ashdon are Hadstock, Helions Bumpstead, Little Walden

I would be interested to know if anyone has come across this couple :
William Fewell [~1785-1843 London] & Mary Harrison [1783 Whitechapel-1832 Lambeth]
married 23 May 1805 St Mary Whitechapel, London
their children [more or less born in around London]
Rebecca b. 1806
William Harrison b. 1808
Eliza[beth] b.1814
Sarah Ellen b. 1820-1822
Maria b. 1829

I would like to know William's parents.

Thanks for any help

Hello Odile

Sorry I haven't come across that family.  My Fewells did move to London but not until the early 1880s.

Hi Odile,

I haven't seen anything regarding that couple but then I haven't searched outside Essex for Fewells, if you get nowhere with your query on this (Essex) board and you haven't tried the London board, you might get lucky there.

Good luck

Merry Xmas to all.
