Siobhan - I am led to believe - with no proof of course - that the family did oringinate from somewhere in Europe, Germany, Switzerland etc. but have no information as to when they arrived in this country. It could well be that Hannah and Thomas were the ones who came across. And no, as of yet I have not got their death certs. Fortunately the line I am following is down from Thomas Bartholomew, Thomas James and then Thomas Jabez. Ironically, the line I am following shows that Thomas Jabez emigrtated to New Zealand, met another English immigrant there, married, had children and then they all trouped off to Melbourne Australia. Quite a journey in fact. Thank you for your help. I will now try and explore the possibility that Thomas and Hannah were the original immigrants from Europe. |

Siobhan - thank you - yes that is the right Thomas James Fehr, son of Thomas Bartholomew. And no, I hadn't seen the other link and am just going to have a look now. Many thanks. |

Bren - thank you very much. This is most frustrating isn't it when folk you know existed, married and produced offspring seem to disappear into thin air when you are looking for them. Thank you for trying anyway. |

someone can help me. I am stuck. I am researching the Fehr family and need assistance. I have a Thomas Bartholomew Fehr b. abt. 1786 d. 1846 Dudley and wife Hannah ?? b. abt 1786 d. 1850 Dudley. I have searched igi, freebmd and these boards and cannot locate the birth of Thomas Bartholomew or his marriage to Hannah whose surname I do not know. I am wondering if their marriage took place in Dudley or possibly the Birmingham area. I only have one child up to now of the marriage and that is Thomas James Fehr b. abt 1811-14. I have been able to get Thomas James family via the census returns. I am hoping against hope that someone will be able to help me with |
