Just to add, on checking the parish registers, I have been lucky enough to find a mother's maiden and 2 dates of birth. I found the mother's maiden name on an entry in 1812 so well worth a look if you can

Heather,

forgive me, I don't mean to be rude or seem ungrateful but I've Googled, 'til I'm blue in the face.

I've found 'oodles' of Saywells and Sewells (both are family names) but finding the connection is the difficulty.

I have to work backwards and at the moment I'm stuck.
