Lindsell/Linsell/Lynsell surname

[viking-man]

Hi
Was wondering whether anyone has come across the surname Lindsell/Linsell/Lynsell from around the little villages in Essex (Ashdon, Dunmow, Debden, Stebbing) 1530-1800 ?

If you have I would love to hear from you as I have a wealth of info to share & would like to dot the i's & cross the t's

Hi Gary,
    I don't have any Lindsell's directly myself, however my 1st Cousin Once removed is a Lindsell and i had looked into her father's family a little bit for her.
    Her father was a James William Lindsell, b1902 in Romford, i belive his father was James Thomas Lindsell b1867 Herongate, then his was Thomas Lindsell b1837 Hockley and finaly Thomas Lindsell b1803 (who was in Ashingdon on the 1841 census).  Now i know that is is not the areas of Essex you are talking about, but is not a common name so i was hoping you might have found a connection moving towards those areas of essex.

Hi Richard
My last Lindsell was Mary Lindsell born 1804 Great Dunmow dau of Robert Lindsell born 1763 Great Easton. Don't think any lines were in your areas unless other children of Robert's brothers moved that way which is possible.  Robert only has girls but he had many brothers: John 1760, William 1760, Richard 1763, Thomas 1765, James 1767 all born at Great Dunmow.  (Richard became a famous cricketeer in his 80's & lived to 93)

Be interesting to see where your Thomas born 1803 came from.

If you do end up finding a connection then I have the Linsell's back to 1531 & they married into gentry (Jocelyn's) which takes the tree back to King Alfred & beyond.

Hi Gary
I think we might have be in touch before but my Lindsell is  Annie born circa 1884 no idea where I have been unable to find her birth certificate or find her in any census returns. All I do know is her Father was William Lindsell.

Thanks Gary, i really don't know where he came from as all i have is the 1841 census for him, which as you know just says in County or not for the birth plasce, so i know he is from Essex but have no idea where, as it looks like he died before 1851 (wife is listed as widow with children on census).

Hi Carol

Just wondering whether you've tried [you prob have] Ancestry.co.uk for the census / birth of Annie or even sign up on free BMD, she's there somewhere hiding from you 
I know Ancestry doesn't show all census records though.  How is Annie related to you?

Hi Richard

Has Essex got a baptisimal index by any chance?  Years ago I paid Essex R.O. for a couple of hours research and they turned up a lot of stuff I would never have found off my own back.  It was £12 /hr then but that was back in 1990's

Hi Gary, not yet no. The Seax web site does have some registers scanned and availabe for free online, but so far nothing around the dates i'm looking for.

I havent tried Ancestry lately but I did check out the census on findmypast mind you it has been a while since I looked for her so perhaps I will go back and take another look for her.
