Re: Winnell - Sheffield

Hi Bev,

When Kinsey and Catherine married in 1739, it was by Licence.
The licence gives both their ages as 21 years and that they were
both of Silkstone. Another entry says Kinsey is of Ecclesfield.

This would give a birth date of about 1718 for Kinsey.

Kinsey WINDLE of Sheff.
Baptised 4 June 1718 at Sheffield Parish Church. Father - Tho' (dyer).

Kinsey WINNEL buried 20 June 1718 at Sheffield Parish Church,
son of Thos' Winnel, dyer.

Kinsey WINDLE of Sheff.
Baptised 29 January 1719 at Sheffield Parish Church. Father - Tho' (dyer).

Both the baptisms are on this site.

Kinsey Winnell, Breeches Maker, of Southey Green near Sheffield,
buried 7 Sept 1817 age 80 yrs, Sheffield Parish Church.
Southey Green is now a suburb of Sheffield, and is roughly half way
between Sheffield and Ecclesfield.

Both the above baptisms are on this site.

Re: Winnell - Sheffield

Hi Bev,

Kinsie Winnell married Martha Beldon, 30 June 1763 at Sheffield Parish Church.

On the baptisms of George, Charles, John, Hannah and Catherine, their
father Kinsey is a breeches maker. George's entry also says 'by Martha'.
Martha was buried 22 October 1783, wife of Kinsey, Sheffield Parish Church.

So, this is the Kinsey Winnell who died in 1817 aged 80yrs.
I would guess he was born somewhere between 1737 and 1742.

Tho. Windle married Martha Kinsay, 4 November 1706 at
Sheffield Parish Church.

I'm presuming that the Kinsey Windle, baptised 1719 might be the one
who married Catherine Goodyear in 1739.

There are three baptisms at Sheffield Parish Church -
John Windle of Sheff. bap 19 March 1742
Charles Windle of Sheff, bap 8 Oct 1746
George Windle of Sheff. bap 13 June 1750
All have the father Kinsey, a gardener.

Re: Winnell - Sheffield

Thanks Moira.
You are a real gem. I didn't expect to find out so much about the family. The change of name from Windle to Winnell is very interesting as in one of William's court records I seem to remember it referring to a William Windle. I thought he was just being a naughty boy and using an alias. This is something he did for a few years after moving to the Colony of Victoria.In fact his first three children were all baptised with the family name of Williams?

I have ordered a copy of the Will of Kinsey, Dec. 1794. I'm happy to forward a copy to Sheffield Indexers when I receive it if you are interested.

Kind regards,
Bev
