Hi all
My Grandmother Edith Mary Fergusson nee Higson 1869-1950 had a niece
also Edith Mary Higson born about 1908.
She married a Geoffrey CHEW and as far as I can remember they lived in
Davenport, Cheshire in the 1950s.
Hoping that these names ring a bell with somebody.
Jan

1066 seems correct, with a knight of that name originating from the Normandy village of Chieux coming ashore with William the Conqueror to fight, and win, the battle of Hastings. Subsequent settlement around the West Country in Chew Magna, Chew Major etc seems to have historical foundation as well. I have a picture of the family coat of arms, but the date of its grant is not known.
Happy Hunting!
Steve Chew

Dear Mr. Morrissey:
My name is Adair Burton Chew I am the son of Burton Adair Chew who was the last of 14 children of John Joyle Chew from Vernal, Utah. My great grandfather William Chew pioneered the Vernal area in 1853 and arrived with the Mormon wagon trains. They were sheep farmers origninally in Sabden, Lancashire, England. They have been for over 150 years sheep rancers in Utah. My Anunt Enola Chew (decdeased) did a tremendous amount of geneacological work on our family using the Mormon geneology computer banks in Salt Lake, City, Utah and was able coupled with trips to England corroberate ancestry to Obidiah Chew in 1100 in Sabden area, Lancashire, England
