I'm sorry I won't be of much help to you. I don't have anyone by the names you listed. The only person I have associated with Fewster who is from Ireland would be James Francis Fewster's wife Elizabeth Burnett. She was born in Ireland and came to Baltimore, MD and married James Fewster. I have no idea where he was from. Kelli

Hi Leslie-Ann,
I am not related directly to Joseph Fewster and Ann Wiltshire, but my Sister-in-law descends through their son Joseph Fewster, who married Amelia Leighfield's, son Oswald Hector Born 1874 Ballarat, Victoria who Married 1893 Victoria to Jane Gould.

I found Joseph Fewster married Amelia Leighfield Dec Qtr 1855 5A 23 in Highworth, 6m North East of Swindon, Wilshire. Their eldest two sons were born there as well. Registered Albert Fewster Birth Mar 1856 Highworth 5A 15 and Francis Job Fewster Birth Mar 1858 Highworth 5A 4.

As for John Fewster + Ann Wiltshire They are listed in the 1841 English Census at Parish of Stapleton, Hundred of Barton Regis, Gloucestershire. REf: HO 107/ Piece 378/ Book 13/ Folio 58 Page 11
Address: Freeland Cottages
John Fuester Age 40 - Occ Labourer - Born in County N
Ann Fuester 30 Y
Joseph Fuester 7 N
William Fuester 5 N
Jane Fuester 15 Y
Mary Ann Fuester 3 N
Hannah Fuester 3 days Old Y
Elizabeth Ven 80 Nurse N
In this Census the Enumerator listed all Males first.

In the IGI, there are Two Mary Ann's Christened in Britol, Both are listed with Parents John + Ann as per below:
Fuster Mary Ann chr 22 Jan 1832 Philip & Jacob, Bristol,
Gloucester, Parents John Fuster/Ann Fuster
Fuester Mary Ann Chr: 13 Jan 1839 St Marys, Bristol,
Gloucester, Parents John Fuester/Ann Fuester
There is time here for one child to have died and the other Born in its place. I have notr had time to search for a death as yet.

From the Victorian Death Records of Australia, I know that John and Amelia had another son Charles Fewster Born 1829, his death Record states Born Bristol, He died 1863 aged 34
years in Victoria, Australia.

I have also found that the Surname has about ten Variations to it : Fuester Fuester Feuster Feuester Fewster Furster
Fester Fenester Fenster Foster, There maybe even more, who knows?

Not to sure if you are still collecting data. But my G.Grand Father William Henry Fewster married Catherine Mary O’Donnell (daughter of Private James O’Donnell) 25th May 1894 in Essendon. I’ve started mucking around with our family history and I’ve a bit of detail on the Fewster side if you are interested and it’s of use.

Kind regards,

Hello Debbie,

Thank you so much for following this up. I didn't receive any response to this and so have put this couple on the backburner while working on easier 'prey'. My maternal grandmother was a Fewster and I would dearly love any information you might have.

Once again, thank you, and best wishes

John Fewster and Ann Wiltshire

_Ellay — 2003-07-03 12:11:32Z

Hello,

I have traced my FEWSTER ancestry back as far John FEWSTER and his wife Anne WILTSHIRE whose son Joseph FEWSTER was born c1835 at Bristol, England based on information contained in the birth certificate of his son (my great great grandfather) John Fewster born 1862 at Ballarat, Victoria (Australia).

Joseph married Amelia LEIGHFIELD (ch 27 August 1837 @ Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, Eng.) in November 1855 and the couple were then in Greenwich in England before embarking on the Annie Wilson on their way to Victoria.

I would love to hear from anyone who has FEWSTER ancestors in Bristol or the Somerset area at the beginning of the 19th century who may be connected, as I have been unable to find any trace of John and Ann or any other children so far.

Best wishes to everyone,

Leslie-Ann

I'm researching the descendants of Thomas Fewster/Feuster (1791-1866) and wife, Alice(1794-1878).They immigrated from England and arrived in Baltimore in 1830. From there, most of the family settled in Fayette County, PA.

It is possible that there was an older son/sons who remained in MD. About the same time, the surname begins to appear in Michigan and Ontario, Canada. I can't help but feel that there is some connection.

I have found the surname in various census reports as FEWSTER, FEUSTER, FUESTER, FOOSTER, FUSTER, FEASTER, FEISTER and FENSTER.
