Hi Janet

Are you sure about the birth date of your Fred? I have a Fred in our Mehews but he is born c. 1876? Do you have your Fred's birth certificate to confirm this?

May be Fred is a family name and your Mehews are an offshoot of ours cousins etc. It is such an unusual name. Another odd question - is there any evidence of your Mehews being Baptists. Our Mehews were baptists and this has carried on to recent times.

Hope we can find a connection.
