Mancktelow family Kent

[jefftrice]

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,

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.

Hello.
I am trying to find the same thing. I had a reply today -

Hope this helps.
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
