London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: 93 Sydney Street Chelsea/Kensington 1930

Heather, hi.

George Ernest and Evelyn Rassell were my mother's cousins and I knew Evelyn well.
Rose, their mother was my mother's aunt and my mothers sister lived with the Rassells when she was younger.
My grandfather, Rose's brother, read about Ernest's death in the News of the World. So the family were aware of it. Yes it was Kingstonians, and it was possibly another relative who played for Dulwich. When younger, football was a big thing in my family.
I have no recollection of my aunt saying that Ernest played for Fulham or Chelsea. The family did live in Fulham as Matthew Dunkley, the eldest brother and his and Rose's mother  Emma lived with them together with my grandfather and they had a dairy business.

So, are your father and my father cousins?
Are you a Rassell or a Dunkley descendent?

Love to hear from you again,

Christine

Hi, just by chance I googled Rassell and football and came up with this page of yours. So had to register with Roots to get to reply!

My mother in law was a Dunkley and her aunt was Rose Rassell and the footballer we believe was one of her Children.
We have photos somewhere.
Believed he played for Dulwich hamlet and he was not a professional, but not sure on that as this part of the family we haven't researched much.
We do have extensive Dunkley research however, which might be of interest..

Hope that is of interest to you

cheers
