Sussex / Re: Fenner Family in Sussex

Hi Coffee Girl,
 I did check the info at the Genie library to no avail. I had no idea that John Ellams Fenner had been sent to gaol for bankruptcy and was listed as a Tunbridge Ware maker. Thank you for that information. It should give me a little more to follow up. I also looked through all my Fenner information hoping to find links for you but again it was to no avail, I'm sorry to say.
I shall keep my eyes open though.

Regards
Gizelle

Hi Lesley,

I descend from the Fenner family you describe. ie John Fenner and Sarah Ellams, through their son John Ellams Fenner. To date I have not been able to connect them with the Tunbridge Ware Fenners.
Several family members have mentioned that we descend from Capt Thomas Fenner who sailed with Drake at the time of the Spanish armada but 200 years is a long gap to fill. There are many John Fenners who appear in the Kent, Sussex area records but I have not been able to get beyond the one who married Sarah Ellams. He certainly looks promising as Elizabeth's father. I will look through some sources at the genie library where I work to see if I can find any more information.

regards
Gizelle

Family History Beginners Board / The Fenner Family of Chiltington Sussex

I have seen a post about John Fenner from Chiltington who married Sarah Ellams from Tonbridge in 1749 in Pembury (PR trans Pembury 1560 - 1812). This is part of my family. Wondering if anyone in the family have heard that there is a connection with Thomas Fenner who sailed with Drake. A cousin seems certain this is so but I have my doubts.
