Although my name was Roberts I have been searching the Roberts family who came from Lewes. Richard Roberts married Sarah Ticehurst of S.Malling in 1819 Sarah and Richard were first cousins of ? Robinson Funnell of St Mary in the Castle tea dealer 1810/11. I also have Ellen King married to Isaac Funnell of the Cliffe, Lewes born 1822 Southover marchants clerk son of William Baker and Lucy Funnell. Do you have any knowledge of these.
Hi Brenda,
Yes, you’ll find Ellen King married to Isaac Funnell and William Baker Funnell married to Lucy Crowhurst and ancestors in the genealogy section:
http://www.funnell.org/fh
You will also find details on Robinson Funnell, tea dealer. St Mary in the Castle is in Hastings, not Lewes. I have more information on this family that I haven’t had time to put online yet.
This is the main Chiddingly tree with over 800 Funnells.
Hi
I am a Yorkshire girl married to a Funnell from the Brighton and Worthing area living in Yorkshire. We are mere twigs with 4 twiglets between us - and wondering which tree we may belong to.
Have a few details to offer and will collate information for posting later.
Look forward to that. Apart from those Funnells from Brighton and area already in the database, I have several as yet unpublished “twigs” from Brighton.
I am a Funnell….Originally from Hailsham and did notice a Emma Funnell in your research Years ago…. was really interesting to see my name through the family and even more so to to see so many samuels as this is my sons name and never knew it to be a family name!!! Intriguing!
Hi, My daughter came across this site today. My Gt Grandmother was Emilie (Emily?) Funnell b.7/11/1862. I don’t know quite where she fits in but I already knew about ‘the watch’ because I have been handed down an old newspaper cutting about it. I also have a ‘Birthday book’ which belonged to her from 1884. I noticed she wasn’t listed as one of Edwards children, have you any ideas? Emily married Richard John Price (Portsmouth) Kind regards Nikki.
She is probably Emily born in Portsea (4th quarter 1862 2b 374), daughter of Alfred Funnell and Fanny Thorpe. She is mentioned in the comment to this story. That would make her Edward the watchmakers niece. I’d be very interested in more details about your cutting and birthday book if you’re willing to share.
