Lancashire / Re: JONES of Earlestown in your tree?

Sorry Rowan, circumstances have made it necessary for me to change ISP, hence a new website address.

https://www.sugarbakers.co.uk

So the page you were looking for is  ... www.sugarbakers.co.uk/loc-earles.html ... but also check the database as I've since added more info from the later censuses.
Thank you for thinking of the website, and I'll be happy to add anything further.

Hans Bahlow's book "German Names" does not include Quinsel, it does, however, include Quensell ...

" Quensell ... 'a bulbous vessel'? "

... so, sorry, no help with location.

After all this time, I've now found I need to move my website for technical reasons.

There is no reference to Dickens in Hans Bahlow’s ‘German Names !

Also, my website regarding the sugarbakers mentioned by KGarrad is at www.mawer.clara.net

Keith ... you might want to contact the archivist at Boughton House to see if records of a governess are available.

I think the abode reads Boughton House, which is just north of Kettering ... but a likely place to be a governess.
