Cambridgeshire / Tunwell plus Kimpton/Chandler
« on: Sunday 07 May 06 16:43 BST (UK)  »
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.

My great-grandfather, William Henry Wood, was a baker born in Westminster, close to Horseferry Road.  According to his marriage certificate in 1879, his father was also William Henry Wood, also a baker.  I have a possible sighting of the family on the 1871 census but nothing conclusive earlier.  (There is a Willliam Wood in the right place on the 1851 census, but no occupation is listed.)  Frankly I am running out of clues and places to follow them up - can anyone make any suggestions?
