I didn't realize that there were this many Tuvells! My grandfather was Samuel Tuvell and came from a very large family that I know absolutely nothing about. He had several marriages, but in his second to last one, he married Florence Miller and had my mother, Deborah, and two other girls and one boy. He then divorced my grandmother and remarried someone else named Linda. He fought in WW2 (entered illegaly at the age of 16) and was wounded in action and sent back home. He has since passed away, but my grandmother (still carrying this surname) is still alive.
I was told that the name Tuvell is not common because it is a variation. My grandfather actually told us that it was varied from O'Tuvell and that we were Irish, but someone in my family found out recently that it is not true and we are not Irish at all. My background is quite confusing, but it is nice to know there are lots of other Tuvells out there!
