Mancktelow family Kent

[minchmike]

We have traced our family back to a William Makeloe c.1600 in Pembury, Kent, but does anyone know where the name came from originally?  Someone told us it could be Huegenot but wasn't sure.  Hope someone can help.

Hi

I am a Mancktelow moved to the UK from South Africa. My grandfather was from Kent... think we might be related?

  In Kent I have only (rarely) come across this name, each time spelt Manktelow. Have you tried the surname database on the internet. It seems to agree with what you think. Hope this helps.   ama

Hi

It is quite possible.   Can you tell me his name and I will look through the records - mostly compiled by my sister who is now living abroad.

Hi

His name was Roy Gaynor Mancktelow. Check out this link:

Hi M Mike
I think the spelling you have MANCKTELOW  is simply a varient of MANKTELOW .These names were only located in Kent and Sussex with very few exeptions until more recent years when they  spread a bit wider.The general concensus of opinion settles on Hugeonot origins as you have been told. There are quite a few about in my area ,I went to school with 4 or 5 MANKTELOW ,s and I expect they all have grand children by now so the name will be increase in numbers .
                                                    Regards Rog.

I can't find any mention of a Roy Gaynor on the huge family tree produced by my sister & brother-in-law, but if you can give me some dates and additional information about grandparents etc., I will pass it on to them and they may be able to help.

I will ask my Aunt what she knows of the name. She was born a MacKellow, and is a direct decendant of the Manktellow family in Pembury, as too am I. My Aunt is my Aunt-in-Law, and we have only just discovered that we are directly related through the Manktellow line. William Manktellow born 1594 Pembury was my 9x Great Grandfather! We must be related somewhere!

My wife's GGGGGF Thomas Lilliott married Elizabeth Manktelow in Westerham, Kent, in Feb 1774.  It is possible that the name FINNIS is linked in here somewhere, but I haven't discovered how yet (if at all).  Does any of this appear in any of your trees?
