Can anyone help me find out why my uncle's middle name was Tunwell? So far my best guess is that it came into the family with the marriage of Thomas Kimpton and Sarah Kirby Chandler in Cambridge in 1851. Both were born in Cambridge c.1823.

Hi, not sure if you got an answer to this as you posted it 10 years ago!! Sarah Kirby Chandler's parents were John Chandler and Elizabeth Tunwell (daughter of Thomas Tunwell and Jane Searle). Hope this helps the mystery albeit an old one!Cheers

Gosh - talk about everything comes to she who waits! This is the first response I've had to my query, but I did manage to establish the connection by other means, including making connection with an eighth cousin, and tapping into someone else's research which takes me back to Edward I. :)
Thank you very much for taking the trouble to respond - it was much appreciated.

Dear Half-Pint:
So glad to be of help!
Very interested in the fact you got back to Edward I!!! Did it go back through the Kimpton line? Could you share this info?
Cheers.

Very happy to share - I got the earlier information from the Maris Ancestry site at http://www.marisancestry.co.uk/Royal/index.htm
The attached file gives my personal descent from where it diverges from the Maris line.
I seem to have been having difficulty sending this reply - can you please confirm that you've received it?
