Hi All,
Hope you are all well, come to that hope you are all alive and kicking.
I’m wondering if anyone followed up on the Fewell info we received From Trevor Mills?
If my notes are correct, the advice we received was:-
Robert Fewell married in April 1581 Suffolk.
Giles Fewell born abt 1581 Withersfield, Suffolk marr Elizabeth ?
Daniel Fewell born abt 1620 Thaxted.
Daniel Fewell born abt 1645 Thaxted.
John Fewell Fewell born abt 1678 married Elizabeth Green 1707 Dunmow, Essex
Philip married Ann Judd 26 Dec 1736 at Dunmow, parents of William 21 Nov 1737
That scenario is very feasible and Withersfield is only a few miles over the Essex/Suffolk border and not that far from Thaxted.
I’ve just had another crack at verifying the Trevor Mills info and here is what I’ve managed to ascertain:-
From Family SearchRobartt Fewell married Marie Boughtell 20 Apr 1581 at Withersfield, Suffolk.
Giles Fewell son of Robartt & Marie Fewell baptised 12 March 1581 at Withersfield, the only child I could find for Robartt & Marie on Family Search.
Aegidii (Giles) Fewell married Elizabetha Trueman 29 Jun 1603 at Thaxted, Essex. Note that Giles and Elizabeth’s first child was named Marie. 7 children found baptised at Thaxted 1604 to 1621 possibly 8.
Daniel M Fewell son of Egidii (Giles) & Elizabetha Fewell baptised 7 Oct 1621 at Thaxted.
Daniel Fewell married Anna Carter 22 Sep 1644 at Thaxted.
Daniel Fewell son of Daniel & Anna Fewell baptised 1646 (no day or month given) at Thaxted
Daniel Fewell married Sara Wood 1669 at Thaxted, from both Family Search and FindMyPast, neither site showed day or month.
John Fewell married Elizabeth Green 1707 at Great Dunmow (from FindMyPast)
Philip Fuell married Anna Maria Judd 26 Dec 1736 at Takeley (not Dunmow) Essex. This and later Essex Fewell families were researched by myself and others in the relevant parish registers.
I can only find one child (Giles 1581) of Robartt and Marie Fewell with the resources I can access from Australia, nor can I determine/verify the Suffolk to Essex link.
I would like to know if anyone has been able to prove the link, if there is one, between the Giles Fewell son of Robartt and Marie Fewell baptised 12 March 1581 in Withersfield Suffolk and the Giles (aka Aegidis in PRs) Fewell who married Elizabetha Trueman/Trewman 29 Jun 1603 at Thaxted Essex?
Also did anyone ever hear from Trevor Mills again after his initial approach to us?
I recall Trevor was going to try and access his father's genealogy records in a computer which he stated was located in his mother's house but as I recall that's the last we heard of him. I tried to contact him via PM on here but no response.
Hope to hear from you even if it's just a hi to let me know you're alive and well.
Regards,
