Wonder if she was being looked after by the Hicker's:

She is mistranscribed on Ancestry as Fewhill, just down as a visitor in the Hicker household, no mother with her.

Hi Niki, L L and seaham lass

Wedding certificate shows only two Hicks as
witness for Elizabeth, and Richard Wellings Father for him.
The Elizabeth who married John was from
Hey on wye and not the Ditton priors area, we need
some one old enough to have a child for Elizabeths
mother
thanks guys

Bit of a long shot...only two Elizabeth Fewtrell's christenings are listed on the IGI for Ditton Priors. if she was base born Elizabeth born 1818 could be a possibility for her mother.

Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean about the Elizabeth who married John - or where Hey on Wye fits in ?

That's the 1841 posted with a John Fewtrell and could be brother and sister as 1841 doesn't give relationships.

Christine

Hi Christine
Maybe I shouldn't assume but I also thought they were brother and sister.

There is a marriage for a John Fewtrell to Mary Reynolds in Ditton Prior in 1825.
Possibly Elizabeth (1826) parents ?

Thanks guys
its so frustrating aint it,i wondered if
her mother had died giving birth to her, or one
of the hicks had been father, the old lady with
Edward Elizabeth F visiting on 1851 couls she
have been something to do with her
until i find out, i cant move on
thanks
