Hello all, This is my first post here. I have been researching my Mead family line via Ancestry and in particular a 2nd Gt. Grandfather John Chennell who was married to Eliza Lineger and worked as a Gardener on the Windsor royal estate. Census info from 1851 onwards consistently states he was born in Warnham, Sussex in 1838, however I just cannot find any trace of him in any records i have searched for that name/DoB in Warnham itself, though there are certainly Chennells in Warnham. Other Ancestry Trees with Chennells also seem to come to dead end at this same point. In the 1851 census, when he is (apparently) only 13, he is living with a family in Hanover Square London and then in 1861 census and thereafter he is living and working at Windsor.
Here's hoping anyone may be able to help.
