Hi,
I'm back with some updated information but sadly none the wiser and something just doesn't match up here (sigh).
Quote:
You should also look at the Staffordshire name index
Two Wills on there:
Thomas Lynell 1750 Eccleshall and Thomas 1682 Walton Hurst, Eccleshall.
I've obtained these wills on the Lynel families of Walton Hurst which has given further information.
All the help you gave seems to match up but this is baffling me.
My Ellen Dean who names in her will dated 1766 her brother Thomas Lynel of Walton Hurst and also her sisters Elisabeth Podmore, Mary and Ellen Lynel. The witness on her will is Henry Lynel who signs his own name.
I found the Henry Lynel's will dated 1767 of Walton Hurst and the signatures match on both wills.
Quote:
Found Elizabeth's marriage to George Padmore and it is way out from Staffordshire.
St Margaret's Westminster 1764 according to Boyd's marriage index.
Elizabeth Linnell and George Padmore.
In Henry's will, he mentions his nephew Thomas and nieces Elisabeth wife of George Podmore (see above quote), Mary Lynel and Ellen Lynel now the wife of John Green. Henry also gives 5 pounds to Thomas and Ellen Turner children of the first wife of Simon Turner (see below quote) together with William Dean of Ellenhall Park (son of Ellen). Ellen Wilcox daughter of Thomas Wilcox & Ellin Lynel married Simon Turner 1738 Stafford, Staffordshire.
quote:
There's also another Ellin Lynel marrying Thomas Wilcox 1.5.1709.
My Ellin Dean who in her will names her brother and sisters as Lynil can't be their siblings but must be related somehow to this Lynel family.
I can't find any marriage of Ellin to William Dean, is it possible they never actually married and could this Ellin be the one who married Simon Turner but never divorced
I also can't find a death for Ellin Turner (wife of Simon) or of William Dean husband of Ellin and on Ellin's will dated 1766 she states she's a widow
?
I'm totally baffled and any ideas or help would be fantastic.
Kind regards
Adrian
