Hello, I shall be returning to Newport in June for a week of intensive research in an attempt to break down some BAGWELL brick walls. One line of enquiry is the possibility that this is a corruption of the DAGWELL surname. In advance of my visit I am collating what DAGWELL information I can from other sources. There is plenty to be found on Ancestry.com and the IGI dating back to the mid 1400's, but without verification I have to take much of this with a pinch of salt. If any of you have information relating to DAGWELL in your researches I would be pleased to hear from you. Regards, Dean Bagwell
