HANNIBALL in COLCHESTER

[Er Indoorz]

Hi all

I'm stumped and desperately need some help!

I've managed to trace my 3rd Great Grandfather who was born in Colchester in 1804 or 1805  I cant seem to get further back than him on this side!

Any help would be very much appreciated!!!

hi Kelly

Have you tried looking for Honeyball variant also - there are a few of them on the LDS site for Essex.

What was your 3rd great grandfather's name - and where did you get Colchester from?  It could be he was born in the surrounding area - lots of small villages would have come under Colchester area.

Have you found all of his children?  Sometimes their names can point you in the right direction - especially if he named his first son after his father, second son after wife's father, etc (of course, this helps if there's an unusual name somewhere in the family......)

Good luck

Hi Kelly,
I would imagine Hunnable would be another variant, over the years I have noticed the name Hunnable and variants in Essex PRs.  Can't say I noticed the Hanniball spelling but as I wasn't looking for the name there could have been some lurking around.

Good luck.

Hi Helen

My 3rd Great Grandfathers name was Thomas Allen Hunnibal.
I got Colchester for Henry from the LDS site but it shows no parish.
Is there a way to look up areas instead of names?

I think I have managed to find my 4th and 5th Great Grandfather on the LDS site.   

They were both called Thomas and the surname spelt Hunniball/Honeyble.

They were born in Mistley, so I am taking a guess that this could be them as Henry was born in Colchester, which isn't that far.
