Another Email from Grant:
I found the site by typing in the words Bentall and Felsted togoether on the
Google search engine - it's amazing how much family history you can find by
entering surnames, especially relatively unusual ones, in combination with a
placename.
By the way, although my great-grandmother Mary Bentall is shown in your tree
as being born at Workhouse, Felsted, it was by then known as "The Old
Workhouse" and was a private home. She continued to live there during her
early childhood.Another minor point - Mary's sister is shown as Clara or Celia Bentall. I
expect the handwriting in the register was illegible. Actually, her name was
Clara.She married someone called Portway and moved to the Tottenham area. I
have this fact from my 95-year-old aunt, who is a granddaughter of Mary and
a great-niece of Clara. She is a mine of information.
Grant
Let me know if you want me to give you the details to continue the line from
Mary down to the present day.
