DARVELL of CHESHAM

[David Hankey]

I am looking for any information regarding Bertram Joseph Darvell who married my cousin, Hilda Hankey.

I think 'bertienursie' can help me. Hope you see this post.

Best wishes,

David

Look to see if my line of Darvell (Darvill) was married to Thomas Harding the martyr of Chesham.  Our family line comes from Chesham, England.  My father is Arthur John Darvill (1930) - His father was Frederick John Darvill (Baker)1899-1987 was married to Bernice Nutter. His father Fredrick Darville (Baker) 1874-1952 was married to Lizzie Gomm. His father Fredrick Darvill (Carpenter) 1853-1891 was married to Elizabeth.  His father William Darvill (Wheelwright) 1927-1860 was married to Elenor.  His father Jacob Darvill (Farmer) 1796-1854 was married twice (Mary & Elizabeth).  That's where I get stuck,  Anyone researching this line?  I was once told we were related to Thomas Harding of Chesham, but I can't get back far enough to see if he might have been married to a Darvill or Darvell.  I know Thomas' wife's first name was Alice.  Any info would be appreciated from this Darvill line. Thank you!  Nancy Ann Darvill Lee (aka Kapua)

I can't really help, Kapua, as none of the names you have appear in my line but no doubt there is a link somewhere as the town of Chesham crops up in my investigations. This family is a bit removed from my line and since I found the link to my line I haven't done any research along the Darvell line at all.

Regards, David

There are no marriage records for Thomas Harding in the parish register for the appropriate time, though there are a couple for sons of a Thomas Harding who could possibly be his brothers.  Not to Darvells though.
 I think you have a very hard task on your hands because Harding was, and still is, a very common name in the Chesham area and in the sixteenth century Thomas was a very common Christian name.
Incidentally there is still a Darvells bakery in Chesham. Great bread.  Hannah
