Lindsell/Linsell/Lynsell surname

[littlemak]

This is fascinating, my Annies Father was a William and I cant find either of them anywhere prior to 1911 when Annie is married to my Grandfather   although it did not mention that my William was a soldior on Annies marriage certificate when she married my Grandfather in 1906.
I am just clutching at straws here.

Sorry I can't throw any similar light on your William Lindsell littlemak.

Just taking another very quick look at your Annie Tracey (nee Lindsell) - it doesn't help you at all - but have you considered the possibility that she might  be the 15 year old General Servant at the Orsett Stores in Orsett - in the 1901 census - born Grays - I can't easily find a suitable birth for her either - but can't think of anywhere in that area that could be anything like what has been given for her in 1911

No obvious sign of either suspect in 1891

The 1911 gives her birth year as approx 1883 - have you been able to confirm that from her marriage or death certs - and do you have Williams occupation from the marriage cert - are there any clues from witnesses?

You can see I'm clutching at straws too

Cheers

Hi Sue
Thankyou for taking the time to look for my Annie, yes I  had thought she might be the servant in 1901 but as she is not at home I can not be sure that it is her
My Annie was a Catholic and married my Grandfather in 1906 at the register office of the Lexden district, all the other marriages in my Grandfathers family took place at St Albrights church, Stanway.
Her Fathers occupation is given as farm labourer and he is noted as deceased. I have not found his death yet, however this line has been put to one side due to the frustration of it so he may pop up somewhere now.
Annie's age is given as 23 years so that would make her year of birth circa 1883 ish which tallies with the 1911 census.
The witnesses on her marriage certificate are my Grandfathers sister Alma Louise Rippingale and her husband Harry Herbert Rippingale so that does not help at all
She really is a conundrum.

Yup - the "too hard basket" certainly seems like the best place for them for now Carol

Here's hoping you can solve it sometime - what's the story on 1921 census???

Cheers
Sue

I know Sue, none of my Mothers family have proved easy and as for my Fathers lets just not go there.
As for the 1921 census, well goodness knows how long we will have to wait for  that to come out, but when it does the family should be in Brentwood at Alfred Road along with my Mother aged  4 or 5.

Right hopefully I will get this right, and if I have you should be able to see an image of the 1911 census for my Grandparents with the place of birth of my Annie Tracey formerly Lindsell.
If so can anyone please tell me what it says for Annie Tracey's place of birth?
Thankyou
Carol

Carol - knowing all the other suggestions that have been made from your other posts - seeing this again reminded me when I looked before I (very) vaguely wondered Lexden - only other clue is possibly in Essex - as Alfred didn't include counties with his or the other persons places of birth - maybe he thought - 'because  everyone knew they were within the county'

No more help than before I'm sure

Cheers

Hello

I hope I am not too late to join this thread.  I have a Lindsell from Debden in my tree - Emma, daughter of Joshua Linsdell who was born in Debden in 1832.  In the 1841 census she was living at Ricketts in Debden with her parents and three sisters.  Her father was an ag. lab. also born in Debden on 29.2.1808 and the son of a Thomas Linsdell (born c. 1777) and Catherine Subbing (b. 1.4.1785).  From info gleaned from various websites I have got back to a John Linsell b. 1646.  Does anyone have these Linsells/Linsdells in their tree?  Also, there is a village called Linsdell not far from Debden - is this relevant?

Hil

PS - Emma married George Gray in Cambridge on 8.2.1853.  They had at least 11 children and Emma died in Barnet at the age of 93.

Gary,

Have just stumbled on this thread.   My 2x great grandmother was Letitia LINSELL who married Joseph PEARMAIN at Great Dunmow in 1820.   The census information shows her born in Great Easton ca 1797.

I've not managed to find any more information (so far) as I need to take a trip over to the ERO at some stage.
