I am a new boy to the Society and have been researching my SEWELL ancestors for a few years. I have a possible link to Theophilus SEWELL (or SUELL) b c1665 who married at Ryhall, Rutland in 1694 to a Mary. Their son William b1694 married in 1716 also at Ryhall a Catherine Holmes b1690.
I belive their son John c1720 - 1781 married Vartue Mary HAWGOOD b1725
at Langham, Rutland in 1745. Among their many children (15?) was Hannah
1759 - 1815. She did not marry but appears to have had a child by Christopher WILLIAMSON b1758 at Langham. This was Christopher Williamson SEWELL 1784 - 1868 who married Mary STEVENS 1784 - 1849 in 1808. Amongst their seven children was Christopher 1812 - 1888 who married in 1839 Elizabeth TURNER 1811 - 1862, they had nine children. Their third was John Turner SEWELL 1843 - 1917 who left Langham and married in Wittering (then Northamptonshire) Mary Ann BARNETT b1841 in 1863. They had six children when he appears to have abandoned his wife and children in Wittering about 1875 and headed for the Iron works in Derbyshire where he married again in 1876 at Alfreton to Jane DOOLEY b1850. and had two more sons. Mary Ann SEWELL remarried in 1882 at Stamford, Lincs. declaring herself to be a widow. She married Joseph CARTER 1847 - 1907.
Her son Ernest Edward SEWELL 1875 - 1934 left Wittering around 1900 for Hendon, Middlesex where he met Charlotte PRIOR 1879 - 1948 They were married in 1905 and had five children, their youngest Roy Edward 1919 - 1997 married at the end of WW2 in Brunswick, Germany to Ingeborg Anni KOLBE b1928. I am their only child and was born there in 1946. We all came to Hendon, Middlesex in 1948 when my father was demobilized from the British Army.
I hope I have not gone on too long for my first posting. I have of course greater detail of most of the above people and also of their brothers & sisters, marriages, deaths etc. I look forward to helping anyone with information I may have and maybe I will be able to extend my knowledge from other members.
