We have traced our family back to a William Makeloe c.1600 in Pembury, Kent, but does anyone know where the name came from originally? Someone told us it could be Huegenot but wasn't sure. Hope someone can help.

Hi
I am a Mancktelow moved to the UK from South Africa. My grandfather was from Kent... think we might be related?
-
In Kent I have only (rarely) come across this name, each time spelt Manktelow. Have you tried the surname database on the internet. It seems to agree with what you think. Hope this helps. ama

Hi
It is quite possible. Can you tell me his name and I will look through the records - mostly compiled by my sister who is now living abroad.

Hi
His name was Roy Gaynor Mancktelow. Check out this link:

Hi M Mike
I think the spelling you have MANCKTELOW is simply a varient of MANKTELOW .These names were only located in Kent and Sussex with very few exeptions until more recent years when they spread a bit wider.The general concensus of opinion settles on Hugeonot origins as you have been told. There are quite a few about in my area ,I went to school with 4 or 5 MANKTELOW ,s and I expect they all have grand children by now so the name will be increase in numbers .
Regards Rog.

I can't find any mention of a Roy Gaynor on the huge family tree produced by my sister & brother-in-law, but if you can give me some dates and additional information about grandparents etc., I will pass it on to them and they may be able to help.

I will ask my Aunt what she knows of the name. She was born a MacKellow, and is a direct decendant of the Manktellow family in Pembury, as too am I. My Aunt is my Aunt-in-Law, and we have only just discovered that we are directly related through the Manktellow line. William Manktellow born 1594 Pembury was my 9x Great Grandfather! We must be related somewhere!

My wife's GGGGGF Thomas Lilliott married Elizabeth Manktelow in Westerham, Kent, in Feb 1774. It is possible that the name FINNIS is linked in here somewhere, but I haven't discovered how yet (if at all). Does any of this appear in any of your trees?

I'm researching the history of Margate Football Club and a player with the surname Manktelow made a few appearances for the club during the 1910/11 season. Players from that era were almost always local so any ideas on who it might have been ? I know that a J Manktelow was on Margate FC's Management Committee during the 1954/55 season and that a Jim Manktelow ran The Oxford Hotel, Margate in 1958 so possibly all three - the player, committee member and landlord were Jim. Be good if anybody knows more.
-
My husband comes from Pembury and knew some Mancktelows - It's amazing to think the family may have been in the village, or at least the area, for so long.

I have searched our family tree and found several Elizabeths - born at Yalding, Pembury and Wadhurst, Sussex. One of them might have married a Thomas Lilliott but I don't have a record of it. I haven't been able to find a Jim or James but I guess there is a connection somewhere.
Best wishes

Oh no! Here's another Mancktelow - in Sevenoaks. I and others have traced the name from my family to 1590. They are all listed on Genes Reunited. I can reveal them to anyone interested.

Hello all, I have been following this with interest, as I too have traced the "Mankelow" name back to circa 1600 Pembury. I have also found a old debate on-line about the same thing,
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~duncansimpson/extra/mankelow_origin_email.html
From this it seems the name "could be" French as there was a French influence on the ancient iron industry in the E.Sussex and Kent Weald, and that William or "someone" could have been imported to show the English how to make iron.
On a slightly different tact, in some historical fiction, cannon were manned by French or Italian mercenaries, so could be one came over here?

I have a Mancktelow connection in my family history.
The family could have originated from the Flemish weavers who came over in the 14th century.
The Flemish weavers settled in many parts of Kent and some weavers cottages still survive.
The weaving industry declined after Elizabeth I banned the export of unfinished cloth, and then a lot of families moved into land.
I think this group predate the Huguenots, who are mainly the 16th and 17th centuries, but I am not an expert.
Just an idea,
regards

Thanks for that, it's another lead. :)
There is also so many different spellings, my earlist is William Mackallo circa 1570.

Could we be related? I am looking at "Decendants of William Mackallo" (just Google this) I am 13th Generation.
If I can be of further help, please contact. :)

how us mancktelow's get around lol!. Hi my name is Hayden Mancktelow and i live in Australia and my family is large over here, but we unfortunately know nothing about our family history. It is a bit of a story as to why we know nothing. What i can say is my grandfather who migrated here with his parents sometime in the early 1900's, name is Frederick Mancktelow and if alive would probably be in his 90's or there abouts. Any information would be greatly appreciated at this time. Thank you, cheers

do you know if he had a middle forename?

'My' Manktelow was Charles Manktelow who married my great aunt, Helena Bater, in 1904 at the Baptist Chapel, Tunbridge Wells. Charles was a domestic gardener. Ring a bell withanybody?
My spelling of Manktelow is as it was on the marriage certificate.

Has anyone heard of a Mr W. F Mancktelow of Swaffield Rd Sevenoaks Kent? Or a Mr R Mancktelow both stepsons of a Mr Arthur Frederick Holmes of Quaker Hall Lane Sevenoaks?

Hello,
I think you may mean William Frederick and Reginald Mancktelow. Reginald's daughter, Enid, died in 1990 but her husband is my neighbour and nearly ninety.

We are definitely related. I have my family tre3 in which William Mackallo (Manktelow) is the first generation. Born to Constance Gold in Pembury in 1594. he died in 1638.
She had 11 children most of which died when very young.

Welcome to rootschat
Do you have approximate dates for them

They were still taking photos in the late 1980s, that's unfortunately all I know. And I believe they were from Severoaks, Kent. Thanks!
