Lindsell/Linsell/Lynsell surname

[Wigsey]

Hi Crystal

Thanks for being so prompt but I do not want to get your hopes up as my infor is very limited as my tree is really on the paternal side and you are on the maternal side.  It is funny how names get changed around as Lizzie Lindsell I thought was Elizabeth Hannah but on her marriage certificate she is Hannah Elizabeth and on her gravestone she is just Hannah.

Not sure how all this works yet but I think you are right that I need more postings - I might have to reply to you again!

I assume you are/were a Grimes.

Regards
Wigsey

Hi Wigsey

That explains why I am having trouble finding her, the searches bring up next to nothing and certainly nothing concrete 

I am unable to find a conclusive date of birth

Do you have access to her marriage certificate?
I only have William Lindsell's Army record of marriage on which she is just Elizabeth Bride
also do you know or have a photo of the whereabouts of her gravestone citing place date of death - Is it with Williams? again I have no record of a death for either of them.

My mother was a Grimes

All the best
Crystal

Hi again

I have a copy of the marriage certificate of William and Lizzie and can send it to you when we have e-mail addresses.  William was born 10.5.1874 and died 6.2.1961.  Lizzie was born 24.12.1883 and died 2.1.1961.  They married 26.12.1904.  They are buried in Offwell Churchyard (burial index G153).  I have a photo I can also send you.  I also have some newspaper cuttings relating to them.

Perhaps you can give me some relevant dates for Nancy Broyd.  My Uncle has recollections of the Oakes living at Little Roke Road, Purley and he thought someone worked on the railway.  Is he correct?

Must close as off out but hope info is of use.

Best wishes

Wigsey

Hi and Thank you for those details, I had Honiton recorded as a possible place of death for William.

Yes your uncle is almost correct the Grimes bakery was on the corner of Little Roke Road Kenley (nr Purley). I will pm you my email address and then give you details for Nancy Oakes her mother was Sarah Anne Broyd who was married to Tom Rance Oakes who lived in Brighton Road, South Croydon Surrey  when my Grandmother was little then in Little Roke Road, Kenley I was told that he was the first to drive a Rolls Royce in Purley.

My reply may not be quite so quick as I have a busy week but I will definitely let you know once we make contact, after all I am really looking forward to receiving all the bits and pieces you have kindly offered

all the best Crystal

Hi all

I am searching for a Henry Lindsell who married Elizabeth Woodham at Layston (nr Buntingford, Herts,) 7 April 1715, and had 3 daughters Elizabeth, Lucy and Susannah all born betweeen c1716 and 1720, and all still alive in 1737 when they are mentioned in grandfather Thomas Woodham  of Linton (Cambs) will proved 1739. Henry and his flock disappear although we have a Lucy Lindsell marrying at Ashdon in 1748 who might be connected, Lucy being not such a common name at the time. They may well be non-conformists - many of the connected families were, - so may have just ducked under the radar, but if anyone can find them I would be very grateful.

Many thanks

Hello all,

Just found this thread too, my Mum was a Lindsell, i have them back to 1773 in Bocking, my branch moved to Ashington, Northumberland in the early 1870's. I have done lots of research of the Lindsell's in the Bocking, Braintree area.

I know this thread was few a years ago but I'm hoping that some of you may still be here!! I'm looking for some help trying to untangle Lindsells left right and centre from two of my trees in the Bocking/Braintree area 1800s and earlier!!!

On one hand I have a Mary Ann Lindsell c1836 (my 3rd Gt-Gm) marrying Walter Potter (3rd Gt-Gf), both Braintree - I have her parents as possibly William Lindsell c1801/Susanna Clark.

On another I have a Rebbeca Kettley c1813 marrying Abraham Lindsell - his parents poss Daniel Lindsell/Mary Cook.

And a floating piece of a tree with Joseph Lindsell c1781 marrying Hannah Chissellc1787!

And I also found an Elizabeth Potter marrying a Thomas Lindsell in Bocking in 1811 and started to wonder if she linked to me via Potters and Lindsells!!

Thanks in advance for any replies!!

My connection to the Lindsell family in Essex does not date back before William born 1874 so I hope that there is someone on here that can offer you more help than me.
Good Luck
