Hi Kieth
you infor is spot on regarding my mum & dad and grandfather.
I can complete any gaps you have regarding all my nieces & nephews.
As you say all of this is on view in the public domain so i can post me email address then after you have noted it I can return & delete the post from the boards. I have seven brothers and sister Anne, Ellen, Mary & Maureen and Tony, Raymond & me the youngest son.
The generic Wraxall tree you have sounds fantastic.
Email is barneythebookie@tiscali.co.uk
Cheers

Pete,

If you are who I think you are your dad Walter had two brothers Sydney and Anthony and your Grandad was also a Walter Wraxall and Grandma Mary Wraxall (nee Kennedy).

If this is so were you one of possibly five kids with two brothers Anthony and Raymond and sisters Maureen and perhaps an Ellen?

If I am correct please let me know. Perhaps we can correspond by Email or I can Phone you. I don't think it is a good idea to display you entire family tree details here for all to see especially all the one that are still living.

I have your entire gentic Wraxall tree going back a very very long way.

What I am missing is details about the younger Wraxalls in your family. I have one of your brothers having two sons and sister having one son (I know their names and dates of birth, but will not disclose them here).
I did not know about your children.

You have a vast number of cousins from various generations most living in the Manchester Area. I can tell you about them too.

Keith.

Sir Nathaniel Wraxall 1st Bt. only had had two sisters and no brothers.

One sister was called Rebecca Wraxall, she died in 1786 she married a Captain James Robertson.

The other sister was Catherine Wraxall of whom little is known, she is mentioned as a beneficiary in the will of the baronet's father.

The Baronet's wife Jane Lascelles b1751 d1831 was married in 1789. She was a daughter of Peter Lascelles Esq. of Knights House in the county of Hertfordshire.

Jane Lascelles' will is in the National Archives. Unfortunately she does not mention in her will any siblings. The only beneficiaries are her two sons, her eldest grandson (who became the 3rd Baronet), her servant and St. James' Church in Dover where she and her husband are buried.

This is the sole extent to which I can help you. I am not aware of any other records that can help.

The 'Lascelles' name is the family name of the Earls of Harewood and their descendants. The first Earl of Harewood was created in 1812, 61 years after Jane Lascelles was born. So it is not surprising that I have been unable to find in reference books such as early editions of Burkes Peerage any reference to a Peter Lascelles of Knights House Herts. within the lineage of the Earls of Harewood. Peter Lascelles was a gentleman of property and coupled with that name, I believe him to be a descendent of a much earlier branch of the Lascelles family which goes all the way back to John de Lascelles of Hinderskelfe, Yorkshire who was known to be living in 1315 who married a lady called Joanna.

Hi there,

Can anyone help me with the first baronet and his family? My 3G Granny, Anne Lascelles, is listed in her husband's obituary in the British Medical Journal as the niece of the first Baronet, Sir Nathaniel William Wraxall. I need to find out about his siblings and his wife's (Jane Lascelles), family.

Any help gratefully rec'd

Hello again Wally,

I have just read this earlier post, after I replied to your later post saying your father had died.

This post gives me some of the information I asked for and confirms what I suspected, that you are what I call a "True Canadian Wraxall".

Unfortunately for my research quite a few Wraxalls from another line from Manchester (who I call Manchester Wraxalls) also decided to live in Canada, which makes my work a bit harder!

Your grandmother was born Charlotte Adam Laing b1911 and died in 1997. Your grandfather was John Wraxall b1904 d1960.

Your grandfather was a first cousin to my grandfather Sir Charles Wraxall 7th Bt.

So we are cousins too!

I believe your grandfather had a sister Annie Lillian Honerine Wraxall b1906 is this correct?

I don't have much information on the younger Canadian generations such as yourself so your help would be much appreciated.

When was your father born? What about (your) aunt(s) & uncle(s) and all your and their descendents?

If you don’t want to post their details here for security (as anybody can see it), we should correspond by E-mail and I can always phone you.

I can tell you all about your ancestors.

I believe my first cousin Sylvia Wraxall (daughter of Sir Morville Wraxall 8th Bt.) stayed with some of your Canadian relatives in the 1970's.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Keith Philip Wraxall Hunter.
(Grandson of Sir Charles Wraxall 7th Bt.)

Re: MY DAD

keith57hunter — 2009-08-26 23:08:47Z

Wally,

Sorry to read about your dad here.

I am writing a book on the history of the Wraxall family.

I am trying to figure out whether your father George was a descendent of a Wraxall that originated from Manchester or more likely a descendent of Horace Henry Edwin Wraxall b1871 (in England) who d1906 in Canada in a railway accident.

When was your father George born and was it in Canada or England?

Details of your mum, grandfather, grandmother, aunts and uncles would be very much appreciated.

Once I have placed you I will be able to tell you a great deal about your family.

With thanks,

Keith Philip Wraxall Hunter
(Grandson of Sir Charles Wraxall 7th Bt.)

Re: Hello Wraxalls

keith57hunter — 2009-08-26 22:48:14Z

Sorry for the delay I have only just read this board today in August!

Sir Charles Wraxall 7th Bt. was my grandfather, his son Morville who became Sir Morville Wraxall 8th Bt. was my Uncle (and godfather). Charles Wraxall's daughter is Gwendolyn (Gwen) who is my mother and is still very much alive (81 years old) and lives near Croydon in Surrey.

She married my father in Oct 1945 in Alexandria and returned to his native Scotland in early 1946, subsequently they moved to England in 1954. Sir Charles, his wife Marceline (my grandmother who was French) and Morville left Egypt and came and joined my parents in 1946.

Who is the gentleman in the day care centre? Perhaps I can get in touch with him somehow?

If you send me an Email Address I can send you a photo of them taken in 1945,so he would instantly recognise them.

Hi, My father was named Albert Morville Wraxall, married to Margaret Redfern. He had two sisters and a brother William. Two of his cousins were named Thomas And Walter Wraxall. It seems as though the existing Wraxalls can be traced back to one of these four great men.

Hello Wraxalls

feygirl777 — 2009-02-06 02:45:23Z

Hi I am posting this today in hopes you may be able to help me. Today I had a rather interesting conversation with a gentleman in a day centre I work at. He is wondering about a family he met in Egypt during the 2nd world war, namely Sir Charles Wraxall, the family were living in Alexandria. Sir Charles had a son Morville and a daughter Guendaline Lassels (please excuse my spelling). Any information anyone has would be most appreciated.

Hi keith

no problem there are 2 wraxalls in canada that belong to my family Ian is the younger brother, and david the other
try j.jubbly@gmail.com

Re: wraxall

keith57hunter — 2008-11-25 18:27:01Z

Jo,

Whilst phoning random Wraxalls in the Canadian Telephone directory, I think I may have talked to your brother Ian?

This was most confusing to me as I was tracing Canadian Wraxalls descended from a brother of the 6th Baronet.

Instead I found someone who I believe to be your brother, who is what I call a Manchester Wraxall living in the wrong part of the world!

Last time you responded to my posted message you were abroad and left your Email address. Is it o.k. for me to contact you using that, to discuss what you know of your family as I have now decided I need to try to make a tree for descendents of Mary Ellen who was your grandfather Morville Wraxall's (b1884) mother.

Any help from you and Debbie (who is your second cousin, her grandmother Emily being a sister of your grandfather Morville) would be much appreciated.

your right with a name like wraxall,
i do remember a morville visiting my grandmother many years ago, does the name silvia ring a bell? i remember that name to.
my grandmother was charlotte and my grandfather was john, maybe we can get to know who and how we are related using this site. but as i have said and so have you we dont seem to be very chatty. i just plain forget to check this once and a while. and i think i was the one to start it! i will leave this with you to think about

Re: wraxall

joand521 — 2008-11-08 06:01:39Z

Hi Keith
How fascinating

I only know some of the history, I belelive that my Grandfather William Mporville, that his parents were Morville and Mary Ellen Wraxall ( the family history calls her Lady Mary Ellen) I have a little more information in the uk ( am in gozo at the moment) but our family is not a close one , and all the children of WIlliam/Morville and Christina ( married in 1910 I think) are dead, there is one inlaw still alive, but it is the children now

e-mail me my email is j.jubbly at google mail dot com
sorry to have to spell it out but it would not work otherwise
look forwards to finding out more( shame there is no money, but that is nothing new)
