Hi Joyce, I live in Connecticut but most of my known relatives come from Rhode Island and before that England, still trying to trace my roots there, but I am amazed at how many Gingell's are around that we never knew, I was born in 1957 my father was Roland Gingell Jr, his father Roland Sr, and his father Albert. If you look on his or my name you can find the family tree and see if you note any connection anywhere, it's like the web page says we are all related somehow I look forward to hearing from you. Michelle.

Hi everyone. please bear with me, this is quite long , but any bit of this may jog someone's memory, that's what I'm hoping. I'm looking for Patrica Thompson nee Patricia Denham born Edmonton, Middlesex in 1950, her father was William Denham a director at some Electro plating company, maybe around Edmonton in the 1940s and 1950s. Her mother was Mary Gingell born 1914 Wandsworth, she was the daughter of John Gingell. On Mary's first marriage in 1934 to Edward Young, her father John gave his occupation as groundsman. Mary was living at 157 Atheldene Road, Earlsfield, in the parish of Wandsworth in 1934. I do not know when she divorced, but in 1950 she had Patricia Denham at 85 Town Road, Edmonton, and then in 1951 had a son Ian Denham, who was put up for adoption about a year later. Any information will be special. Thank you for reading this. Regards Elaine.

I'm reposting this message from February 2005, in case anyone has new information. W.B. Gingell, Architect, of Bristol. Can anyone throw any more light on William Gingell (1819-1900)? He was born in St Pancras, London, trained as an architect in Bath in the 1840s, and was in practice in Bristol from about 1852 almost up to his death. He was one of the most prolific architects in Bristol in the 19th century. Bristol General Hospital (1852) and the wonderful Lloyds Bank, Corn Street (1854-7) survive, along with much else. There are a couple of references to him on this site - but can any local Gingells claim descent? Does anyone know more? According to the 1881 census, he had a married daughter, Sophia Stenhouse; and his 3 sisters, who lived near him, had lodging with them a nephew (Ernest B. Gingell, born c.1861). He may have been W.B.G's son. Any information would be gratefully received.

I saw an article in 'Your Family Tree' about this website and the Gingell reunion. I haven't delved into the Gingell line in my family but I have the birth certificate for my paternal grandmother, Rhoda Diamond, who was born on 17 Feb 1869. Her father was George Diamond, a bricklayer, and her mother was Elizabeth Diamond formerly Elizabeth Gingell. The place of birth and residence was at 2 Artichoke Hill in the District of St George In East, in the East End of London, very close to the docks. This is all I know about my tenuous link to the Gingells - does anybody know anything about Elizabeth Gingell ? Any information would be appreciated.

Some time ago I sought help in tracing my grandfather (my grandmother was Francis Florence Gingell). I have since learned of a dastardly tale! It seems that the then Lord Methuen (a certain field marshall no less) was a wicked old goat who amused himself with the young serving girls at Corsham Court. Has any one else heard anything about this and can they add to the story. Should I be hiding my head in shame or laying siege to Corsham Court as the rightful tenant!

Does anyone have any information on Fanny Miles, born 1856 Kington St Michael? She married Joseph Davis from Marshfield in Gloucestershire and they adopted my Grandad around 1910 when he was about 5. I believe my Grandad was possibly a relatives child (maybe from the miles side of the family as his adoptive parents were in their early 50's when they took him in) Unfortunately, Fanny destroyed my Grandads birth certificate so I have no record of who he was, his adopted name was Frederick Charles Horace Davis born around 1905, possibly Hampshire area. Fanny Miles lived in Compton Dando in Somerset when she adopted/fostered my Grandad. If anyone has a child in their tree that may match this information, please contact me as I have reached a full stop in my genealogy research. Thanks From Rachael Hayes

URGENT HELP REQUIRED

ALICE MAUDE GINGELL b. 1882 in the Rhonda Valley daughter of John and Martha Gingell from Lyneham (see below).

ARTHUR J HUNT b. c1871 Grandson of Jacob and Maria Hunt of Lyneham (see below).

I am currently researching the Gingell and Hunt families of Lyneham who were linked through the marriage of John Gingell and Martha Hunt in 1875.

John was born in 1841, the son of Job Gingell and Elizabeth Simpkins. Martha was the child of Jacob and Maria Hunt of Lyneham b. c1850.

If anyone has information on these two strands of the family tree I would be most grateful for contact.

I have stumbled across your excellent web page in connection with my research into my Great Grandfather John Andrews. John married Ann Hall (nee Ann Gingell), widow of Thomas Hall, betweem July and September 1899, Ann having been widowed in 1892. John was minister at Hilperton Strict Baptist Chapel following the death of my Great Grandmother Harriett Neave in 1894 in Ipswich. When he actually moved to Hilperton I do not know but the Gingells certainly had an association with the church from your web site. By the time of their marriage Ann was certainly well past child bearing age so there is no 'blood' connection between us.

I know it is a long shot - has anybody by any chance got a wedding photograph taken at Hilperton baptist Church which might show my Great Grandfather? I couldn't see one in your portait gallery.

I can give you a bit of history about John if you are interested. Because of his strict Baptist views his daughter, my grandmother, had to elope as my grandfather was a member of the Church of England. He thought going to the theatre was an abomination but membership of the Church of England was even worse!
