Phil Nichols Along with two colleagues, I'm compiling a book on Somerset photographers 1841-1939. Although most of the photographers included are listed in directories of the period, we've also included other photographers named in newspaper articles, and those for whom we've collected photos taken by them. We have a cabinet card image (estimated date about 1905), with a stamp on the reverse "G Gyngell, photographic artist". We understand the photographer to be Augustus George Gyngell (1834-1911), and, if we have dated the photo correctly, it would be during his time at Woodcock Street, Castle Cary, Somerset. We've created a timeline for him, (as well as for the other 785 photographers we're researching), which includes biographical information, census data, and newspaper reports : the first report we've traced for AGG was in 1844 as an intrepid 8 year old "the child with the iron nerve" ! If anyone on the list knows of any interesting background stories on Augustus George Gyngell, I'd be fascinated to hear from you with many thanks. Phil Nichols. |

Louis Puente Hello, we have obtained a clock with an inscription that reads, G. H. Gingell, R.E. Corps of 1st. P.O.W.S. & Miners 1906. We are curious to learn anything about this person. Any help is very appreciated. Thank you. |

Linda Werrett Hi, just happened across the Gingell website and wanted to say what a fabulous resource! My mother was Eileen M. J. Gingell of Cwmbran area South Wales UK dob 1925 and beyond her Dad Edwin John Gingell, I knew very little. Brings a lump to my throat to know their memory is being kept alive this way. Thanks Craig Gingell! |

|
Mary Webb I was interested in Craig Gingell's pic of Gingells Farm Road as we live at Gingells Farm. I have been led to believe that the name came about as a family of Gingells lived here (not sure when though). I also noted Ann Gingell with her connection to Siston (Syston) which is near to here. Any further info welcomed. |
|
Kay Bridgeman Hi. I am researching Bridgeman in Christian Malford and have a marriage between my relative John Bridgeman and Elizabeth Gingell in 1784 - as there is an Elizabeth born in 1764 an it appears to be in Christian Malford. From your records I note her father was an Agricultural Labourer so was John Bridgeman. - Very interesting and informative sight. Incidentally. if you are able to confirm my findings, please let me know as there are records in the Census on here but not for a marriage... I found that by trawling through marriages on another site. Thanks. |
|
Kathi Haslam-Murray My 7th Great-Grand Aunt was Martha Goodship, married to John Gingell in 1766. I am happy to have found this site while searching the Gingell name! Thank you! |

Geoffrey Michael Roberts Ettie Maud Gingell was my grandmother. She was brought up in the Grenadier Guards Officers school in London (although I believe great grandad was not an officer this was arranged for family reasons), sat on the knee of Queen Victoria and received a silver sixpence from her. When the time came to leave school she went "below stairs" with many of her school friends marrying above stairs. It's great to know that the Gingell tree not only goes so far back but also is alive and well today. |

|
Herbert Lee Gingell Hello all Gingells wherever you are. |
|
Patricia Eaton Franklin Hello. I am the niece of the late Vera Phyllis Gingell, wife of my late Uncle William Franklin Moyer. Aunt Vera was a lovely, sweet woman, with a tender air about her. She lived with my uncle in Ashley, PA, a tiny, mining town nestled in the mountains. Uncle William and she never had children of their own, but they welcomed me and my brothers with open arms. Despite our high energy, she trusted us with the good china, and that brought out our best behavior. The house, which had been in our family since 1906, was only let go after Vera passed. Vera was our favorite. We all miss her. |
|
Barbara Marian Gingell I'm the daughter of Norman Gingell and Marian Gingell (Taylor). Norman was born in Cheltenham, England on Oct. 3, 1901 to Samuel Edmund Gingell (12/16/1861) and his wife, Emily Gingell (James). In addition to my Dad, there were 7 other children namely...William Samuel, Alexander Reginald, Alfred Henry, Grace Amelia, Archie George, Ida Emily and May. All but Archie and May relocated to the USA. Any information about these family members, their children, etc. would be appreciated! Thanks and Happy 2011. |

Raymond Francis Bird Have only recently gone on the internet at home, hence discovering this great site on the Gingell's - my congratulations to Craig and all concerned. In particular I love seeing the old photos and reading those extra snippets of info that puts a bit of "flesh on the bone" on that persons life. Anyhow while pressing little buttons here and gadgets there, (yes I am new to this internet lark on my own) I stumbled upon this guest list column, so thought I would say hello - Hello all you Gingells!! My own connection to the clan is via my grandmother Emily Gingell that married a Reg Bird. I had intended to ask a serious question but think I have gone "on a bit" so will leave that for another day, plus it's New years eve and time to get washed and changed and off to the pub. Happy new year to you all. Raymond Bird. |

Sally Eileen Berry I live in California. My great-great grandmother was Lucy Ody Gingell (b. 1817, d. 1891, Willesley, Wiltshire), born to Benjamin Gingell (b. 1767 d 1847) and Martha Ody, b. 1777 Sherston, d 1851). Children were Ann Gingell, Lucy Ody Gingell, Mary Gingell, Harriet Gingell. Lucy Ody Gingell married Isaac Berry, b. Sherston Magna 1809 and they had Benjamin Gingell Berry (my great-grandfather), George Berry, William Isaac Berry, Martin Berry, Albert Berry, Martha Berry, Sidney Berry. This is family tree info I learned from Pauline Berry of Painswick, Gloucestershire this summer while visiting my grandfather's birthplace (he was Albert Edward Berry who emigrated to Can.). I was trying to see if I could find out who Benjamin Gingell's (b 1767) parent's were and anything farther back if possible. |
|
Sherrill Plumridge I have relations on my husbands side that I am having difficulty finding on any census records. Janet Gingell born Aug 7 1871 (possibly in Wroughton) and Anna Gingell who married a Richard House 6/7/1872. Has anyone any information on them. These dates came from handwritten records handed down the family. Regards Sherrill. |
|
Norman Ardin Just found this site could not believe it when I saw the Ardin name. Have no idea who they are as have never known anybody in the family mention relitives outside of the Midlands area, at the age of 73 bit late to start finding out but glad to know they exist. |
|
Linda Jeffery Interesting website! I have just found out that my husband's aunt Joan Eileen Jeffery married a Roy Frederick Gingell around 1944. He was wearing a uniform - army? - at their wedding. They had a son called Alan Michael Gingell around 1945. Then unfortunately Joan Gingell died on 1/12/1948, aged 27, and is buried at Hither Green Cemetery in SW London. I believe Alan Gingell, the son, who was looked after by his maternal grandmother Dolly Osborne in Tollesbury in Essex after his mother's death, was also killed in 1966 (perhaps a motorcycle accident?). If there is anyone out there that recognizes this Roy Gingell, who may have remarried, I would be grateful for any information at all as this aunt was a complete mystery. Thank you. Linda (in Sydney, Australia). |
|
Linda Dowman I have just discovered that my family are decended from the Gingells and have traced them back to William Gingell in 1705 at Lyneham, Wiltshire. |

|
Karen Whyte Hello everyone, I have a Louisa Gingell in my tree born: c1856 St George, Bristol, who married Samuel Robert Flook Phipps in 1881 Bristol. (Samuel was the Brother of my G.G.Grandfather Henry PHIPPS). They are recorded together on the 1881/91/1901 census together - but I can't find her on the 1861/71, so therefor haven't got a clue who her Father or family were? I know her and Samuel were landlords of The Cross Keys Pub in Moravian Road Kingswood from 1901-1906. She's a mystery to me, so with a bit of luck one of you may be able to shed some light on her story? |
|

Born in Vancouver, British Columbia. She is my sister that was put up for adoption at birth. Her birth parents are Susan Slater (Gingell) and Rick Gavel. Please contact me if you have any possible info. |

Jennifer Anne Rankin
I always knew of my Great Grandfather as William Smith but a family story told that he was born a Gingell but ran away from home and took the name Smith (reason unknown). After many months of searching I got a BIG clue from the 1911 census which told me he was born in Longhope, Gloucestershire. I followed that road and recently acquired his death certificate which states "William Gingell known as William Smith".

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.

On Mary Elizabeth Gingell's first marriage in 1934 to Edward Young, her father John George Gingell gave his occupation as groundsman. Mary Elizabeth Gingell 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 J. Denham at 85 Town Road, Edmonton, and then in 1951 had a son Ian William Denham, who was put up for adoption about a year later. Any information will be special. Thank you for reading this. Regards Elaine. |

Andy Foyle 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. |
|
Kay Trying to connect with Gingell who fought for the Americans in Revolutionary War. His name is George Gingell and was born in Wiltshire, England in 1750. His son's name was James and James was married to Elizabeth Grinman (I have the proof of this). Their son another James was born in 1817 here. Anyone have any information? Ship documents are vague. Thank you for any nugget. |
|
Jeremy Anderson 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 the 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. |
|
Neil Gingell Hiya. Looking for Gingells everywhere and how far back the name goes. |
|
Karen Frame Would love to hear from anyone who knows the family. |
|
Robert Clive Gingell 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! |
|
Rachael Hayes 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 |

Alan Gingell Great website thanks Craig. Trying to find family from my dad Alan Christopher Gingell to his grandad Arthur Gingell and his dad William Henry Gingell.

Mike Wells In my Pike family tree I have a marriage through the Wilts Marriage Licence Bonds between John Pike to Hannah Gingell of Biddestone. I believe it took place c 11 Sep 1796 and that John was christened 11 May 1767. I have nothing on Hannah though. I would be interested if anyone can throw light on this couple, descendants or/and ancestors. |

Josephine D. Gingell This site is just great. My maiden name was Gingell and my children keep it as a double barrel surname as they are proud of it. I am the daughter of Joseph Edward Gingell my sisters are called Patricia A. Gingell and Margaret C. Gingell and my brothers William Gingell and Robert Gingell (now deceased). My Grandfather was also called Joseph Edward Gingell, but this is all I know. |
