Title: Widnall Surname
Post by: laurence2 on Friday 24 June 11 13:01 BST (UK)

Interested in the Widnall surname in England, York's, Nott's, Debyshire areas or any other reference to the surname, and also Canada, Ontario, Thunder Bay area 1900-to date, and again any other reference to the surname.

Thanks Laurence

Thank You Mort29, Garstonite and Stanmapstone for your help it is appreciated.

I do have a Widnall line for my own pedigree line that goes back to Robert Widnall born Circa 1806 nottinghamshire, and i am trying to expand the family surname into other lines of the surname Widnall, there are some corruptions with this surname, such as Witmall, Widmell, Withall, and Widneal that i have seen, although it may take some time, I'm hoping to find all the widnall family lines that i can.
