I'm sure you've stumbled across the marriage in Ballygowan on 16th March 1850 of the schoolmaster Morrow Frew, son of farmer Robert Frew, and Ellen Gibson, the daughter of farmer William Gibson. <br />When Sophia Jane Stewart, the daughter of a farmer William Stewart, married John Morrow Frew in Comber in 1893, she was named as the daughter of a farmer of Ballymacreely, William Stewart.<br />I have never come across any connection between these Frews and the Frew family of Killyleagh, although there most likely IS a family link hidden away there somewhere. <br />Also, I have never found any link between the Ballymacreely Stewarts and my own Stewart ancestors who originated in Crossnacreevy near Moneyreagh, Co. Down.<br />Perhaps a DNA link will eventually surface to tie us all together, but until then, we'll have to keep nosing around in whatever records we can unearth.Alison Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06933759167588431735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-501652378201239820.post-49544350534342098942020-05-26T06:22:17.413+01:002020-05-26T06:22:17.413+01:00I've been trying to trace Morrow Frew (1822-19...I've been trying to trace Morrow Frew (1822-1908) from Killyleagh. he was the school master of the national School at Tullycore, just north of Killyleagh. A son, John Morrow Frew (1870-1942) married Sophia Jane Stewart (1867-1949) and they emigrated to Vancouver, Canada.<br />There would not appear to be a connection to your Frews/Stewarts yet it is a relatively rare name in County Down.<br />In any event fantastic amount of information you have accumulated is amazing.
