In the early 19th century some Tovells settled in Windsor. I am trying to find which part of Suffolk/Norfolk/Essex they came from. The second Windsor generation was Samuel Tovell 1805-51. Samuel's father's dates are 1786-1850. Samuel's children were Henry William, Emily, George, Samuel William, Charles, Walter and Frederick Augustus. Any help much appreciated. Peter T

Gen - I've now found that the Windsor Tovells came from Chelmondiston via Samuel (b 1791) brother of Daniel.

Tovells from Chelmondiston

I have only recently come across this site and was interested to learn (at least I am assuming this is the case) that you are a descendant of the Chelmondiston Tovell family. My own father, George Alfred Tovell was the son of Walter Edward Tovell (whose sister Mabel married Walter Gardiner - whose daughter Toni married King Hussein of Jordan). Walter was the son of Daniel Tovell and Ada Alberta King. Daniel was named after his father, Daniel who married 3 wives but Maria Cleveland was his mother. Daniel in turn was the son of Samuel who married Martha Manning. So far all were rooted in Chelmondiston - but with Samuel the easy road becomes more difficult as he appears to have come from elsewhere and to date I have not discovered exactly where. Would you know?

If you have the time to respond I should be very glad to hear from you.

Hello Anne - Samuel (husband of Martha Manning) came from Erwarton, was born about 1769, and died Chelmondiston 24 May 1804. He was my G3 grandfather. If you'd like to compare notes please email me on tovell@cwcom.net , Peter

Hi Peter - thanks for your e-mail.

Please could you tell me exactly how you know Samuel Tovell came from Erwarton. I have spent hours looking through Suffolk parish records and could not find out his birthplace. Because so many Tovells originate from Essex I began to assume he had come from there especially as another contact of mine, Judy Kimber who has also been doing research on the Tovell line, came to the same conclusion.

Also, what is your own direct ancestry line? Mine is through Samuel/Martha - Daniel/Maria Cleveland - Daniel/Ada Alberta King- Walter Edward Tovell (my grandfather)/Kate Maud French and George Alfred Tovell (my father).

Have you been doing genealogy for long? I first started almost 30 years ago now.

Hope to hear from you.

Anne

Hello Anne - I spent a while at the Ipswich records office and found a marriage on April 19th 1787 of Samuel T to Martha Manning (b July 16th 1765), Samuel was stated as being from Erwarton and Martha from Chelmo. Further information from that marriage (not fully confirmed as it was nearing closing time) seemed to be as follows:
Martha Manning, daughter of John Manning (b Jan 12th 1745, d 19th Oct 1785) and Martha Asbys (m 28th Nov 1764), was (maybe) the sister of Walter M (b 24 Oct 1784), Thomas M (b 29th Oct 1780), Benjamin M (b 10th April 1774, d 6 Oct 1781), Joseph M (b 26th April1767, d 14 April 1794) and James M (b 9th June 1771 and subsequently married Esther Skipper on 8th Dec 1795, having children Sarah 1796 and Esther 1799). John Manning was the son of Thomas Snr and Suzannah (d 18th Dec 1775). There's plenty more but I don't want to confuse you; it all seemed fairly clear at the time, but the above is from my notes.
My connection is through Samuel junior (brother of Daniel b 1801) who went via the British army to settle in Windsor (long story). Peter T

Hi Peter

Thanks a lot for your e-mail. Please could you tell me where Samuel and Martha were married? Was it Chelmondiston?

I must get my own records out this weekend. I had started putting everything on to the computer but I tend to do my genealogy nowadays in fits and starts. I do have quite a lot of info (from baptismal/marriage/deaths recorded in parish registers) on the Manning family but can't remember off hand just how far back I went.

You mention Windsor -- do you know any of the current Chelmondiston or Ipswich Tovells? Until you came along I had no idea we were in Windsor!

Anne
