Hi Julied, Here is some "totally useless info", there was a Fewell at Rainsford School Chelmsford, the same time as myself.  Also like myself he lived in the north part of Chelmsford.  Considering  how close Chignall St James is to that part of Chelmsford, I wonder if he was descended from the Chignal Fewells.  Now it's really bugging me that I can't recall his first name, I'll just have to hope for a flash of inspiration.

Hi All
I have a list of Takeley marriages.  I was once told that the Fewell's originated from Takeley, but when I got the list off the net there was only a couple of Fuell's and several Jewels/Juels.  I wondered at the time if these had been mis read.   Now looking back over the list, I think some of the first names are names that have poped up before and I think there is a good chance that who ever translated this list had thought that the F was a J.
This is how I first started on the Fewell trail, the Arthur Fewell that I first looked for was written as Arthur Jewell in the RMA Chelsea.
If any one hasn't already found this list from Takeley, I can send it.

Hi Findem, how interesting about the 'school friend.'  Don't you just hate it when you can't think of a name like that, I know it bugs the hell out of me till I can come up with the answer.  I know there's a web site here is Aus for finding lost school friends [www.schoolfriends.com.au], I wonder if there's a similar one in the UK.

Hi Julie
Yes there is a site for finding old friends here, it's http://www.friendsreunited.co.uk/.
I found one I hadn't seen for 30 years on there. Or should I say he found me!!!

Hi Sue, hope Findem reads this and can hopefully track down his long lost school friend.  Like you I also tracked someone down here who I'd gone to boarding school with many moons ago!
Julie
[wish all these Fewells were as easy to track down]!!

Hi Julie and Susie, I am aware of FriendsReunited and was a paid up member for a year but hadn't tried to contact (was it Peter) Fewell because I only recalled him recently whilst thinking of the Fewell and Chignal St James connection.  I have now let my membership lapse mainly on principal, I object to paying a fee to a site which deposits Tracking Cookies on your PC.  They have another site called GenesReunited (used to be called GenesConnected), where you can put your family tree, I have put a very brief tree on it, that site also deposits Tracking Cookies on your system.  I have a free program, Spybot which detects them and removes them, so I have quite a list of sites which deposit Tracking Cookies.  Thanks for mentioning it though, I may at some time go back in when I have a few more names to look for, I have already made contact with several childhood and school friends, comforting to know there are so many still alive
