I believe Mary was a daughter of Stephen Fennell b.1800 in S.C. and Annis Unknown b: 1800 S.C. Stephen was the son of Henry Fennell b. 1780 d 1935 S.C. Some people think that a Isham Fennell b. 1760 may have been Henry father, but have not found evidence yet.

Hope this helps

Do you have any information about Mary Fennell who was born in 1826 in Emanuel County? She was married to Michael Mixon also born in 1826 possibly in Barnwell, S. C. They were married in Emanuel County, Ga.

Any Info would be helpful.

Thanks

My dad was Roy Wendell Fennell, born July 30, 1902. I have since found a relative who was related to my dad's first wife, Opal Ellis. There was a daughter born named Arlene, my half sister, whom I never met. And according to this relative, Arlene had already died. Tell me some more names of your Fennell relatives and let's see if we can make a connection. Thanks for your reply.

Re: Want to know all of the fennell's, black, white, whatever,

joe_fennell — 2012-04-18 05:57:39Z

There are some black families with this name (tho I'm white.) I was reading a sports page in Augusta once and a black basketball player for Augusta College with the same name as mine was on the front page.

There are many origins of this surname.

There is an Irish Fennell that derives from Gaelic, originally written something like "Fionghail", and it means "fair valour".

There is an English Fennell that derives from the word the Angle word "fenn" and the common surname suffix "nell" (e.g. Parnell, Cornell) that means "a son of" or "of the family", and it means "son of a bog dweller".

My uncle thinks we are "fair valours", but I think it's more likely that we are bog dwellers.

There are Huguenot, Italian, and Polish names that are similar sounding, too.

Re: Fennells of Georgia and South Carolina

joe_fennell — 2012-04-18 05:26:51Z

I may be one of those descendants. My father and grandfather came from Laurens County, which adjoins or is near each of those three counties you named.

Re: looking for a connection

joe_fennell — 2012-04-18 04:53:54Z

My father is a Fennell from around Dublin, Georgia. His father was the youngest of, I believe it was, nine children. The seven oldest were girls and the two youngest were boys. My grandfather's name was Thelmer Fennell. He was also born around Dublin.

I am looking for information on Mary Fennell born 1826 In Emanuel County Ga. Married in Apr. 4, 1849 in Emanuel county Ga. to Michael Mixon born 1826. They lived in Burke County Ga. and had 2 daughters, Jane born 1850 and Ann born 1853. Both Mary and Michael were dead before 1860 and their daughters were supposedly sent to live in Johnson County. We have heard the story that Michael was killed by his brother during an argument. I would appreciate any info you might have about this and am wondering if this might be part of your line.

Thanks

Re: Thomas Fennell, b approx 1864

kyliehowe — 2012-03-16 02:38:29Z

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for that response. I don't have much more to add to the information I have already put up. I'm trying to get myself a copy of the wedding records from WA to get more, but currently have nothing other than a wedding date and place, which I found through Ellen Jackson's details. Even the year of birth that I have has no firm evidence to support it, and I don't think he moved to Victoria with Ellen and his children. I'll keep digging, though, and get back in touch if I find more.

Thanks again,

Kylie

Re: Thomas Fennell, b approx 1864

check details of grandchildren of Patrick (Mangles 1822)& Ellen(Eleanor)nee Dillon MARRIED 1826(father Thomas Dillon 1800) your Thomas Fennell may be a child of one of their sons Thomas Aloyius(1st), John(2nd) or Daniel(4TH)(of 13 children). I have descended from Stephen 3rd son (1829)Thomas Aloyisus died around 1864 he was married to Harriet(nee Pabst) see Germantown(Holbrook). I have scant information on either of these sons of Patrick & ELLEN.iF you can get any information such as details on your Thomas death notice and burial site would help greatly. the three eldest sons including Thomas Aloysius,John and Stephen went to the CAlifornia gold rush in 1849 folklore??? possible birthplace is Campbelltown or Wagga Wagga as most were Licencees of Hotels. any documentation when your great grandparents were married and your grandfathers birth certificate will help piece together the more of theclan information. regards stephen fennell email: stephen.fennell@deedi.qld.gov.au

He died in 2000 in a drunken state. He had a stroke. His oldest daughter gave his body to the University of Arizona as a cadaver. The school used his body for two years and then called to ask what she wanted done with the remains. She said, "flush them down the toilet where they belong."

Re: Wallace Earl Fennell

gmike53 — 2012-01-12 18:32:44Z

When Wallace Earl died in 2000. He was alone in Arizona. As far as I know he had not made peace with God. However, Cecil Edwards, his half brother was met by me about five weeks before he passed away, and Christ Jesus had made a bitg change in his life. I hope to see Cecil one day in heaven.

Re: JAMES ROBERT FENNELL

boxmommy — 2012-01-11 15:11:34Z

If the name of Moses or Morris Fennell is correct, this family
is probably descended from a slave belonging to the Fennel family of Trinity which moved from Virginia about 1818. One of their daughters married a Reverend Moses Morris. It appears
that this Moses Fennell married several times as he is shown divorced in 1910 living with his parents Alex and Mary Fennell in Decatur and married again by 1930 (married 4 yrs).
Hope this helps.

Re: Fennell/Farrell

likefen1 — 2011-11-06 01:49:37Z

We are quite sure that my husband's grandfather, Charles John Fennell, who I am researching, lived at 32 Little Coram St. in St Pancras, in the 1881 census. He was Henry & Mary (Ferguson) Fennell's son (John Fennell & Emma Burroughes son). He moved to Ontario, Canada when he was 14 as a home child and in 1907 married Mary St. Louis in Carp, ON. He died in 1960 Ottawa (where his 3 children were born- my father-in-law, Ernest Albert, the youngest b. 1917-d. 1989. Charles had a sister, Emma E. b. about 1775. We think she came to Canada too, but don't know what happened to their parents.Since Charles came to Canada as a Home Boy, we assume that something happened to the parents. If anyone has any other information on this family or the extended family, we'd appreciate it.

Thanks Kylie, I can know cross your Ellen off my list and try looking elsewhere.

Re: Thomas Fennell, b approx 1864

kyliehowe — 2011-10-29 07:12:12Z

I think there must be two Ellens, yes! My Ellen was Ellen Hall Jackson, daughter of Thomas Jackson (alias Sidney Hall when he was convicted if break and enter and transported as an 18 year old - Ernest's middle name was also Sidney). Her mother was Mary Hennessy as you noted and she had several siblings as well.

Hope that helps get to the bottom of things!

Re: Thomas Fennell, b approx 1864

sdgrant_1 — 2011-10-29 06:59:10Z

Hi Kylie,

Thanks for getting back to me. I am still puzzled, I brought the bth cert for Ernest born 22 April 1894, it states that Ellen was 24 years old, my Ellen would have been 37 years of age in 1894. On Ellen's death reg., 1917 aged 50 (this puts her born c.1867)it says her parents were Thos. Jackson and Mary Hennessy, my Ellen her parents were Thomas Pavia Jackson and Catherine Lyons and she was born 1857 so I guess there must be two Ellen's that married Fennells??????????

Sue

Re: Thomas Fennell, b approx 1864

kyliehowe — 2011-10-28 20:50:04Z

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the information.

I think there might be no listing for the sons of Ellen Jackson and Thomas Fennell on the pioneer index because both sons took on their stepfather's surname, Hales. I have my information about them from the Victorian Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages, backed up by family anecdotes about the name change. Ellen Hales (nee Jackson) died in 1917 in Essendon, Victoria, from the same sources.

William went on to cut a fairly large figure in Victorian society as one half of the Craig and Hales confectionary company and in local government politics. He had 2 children and died in 1949. Ernest had one daughter, and worked in the airline industry back in the early days of commerical air travel. He died in 1979.

I'm not certain if the Thomas that you found is related, but I will see what else I can dig up with that bit of information.

Thanks!

Kylie

Hi,
I have a Ellen Jackson who married Thomas Fennell on the 5 July 1889 in Perth, WA., (info from marriage certificate). His father is Michael Fennell.I know she has died before her mother but cannot find her death anywhere (her mum died 20 Nov 1929). A Thomas Fennell died 1 May 1945 but I am not sure if this is him, I don't know if they had any children?
I cannot find any males born between 1889-1900 under the name Fennell on the Pioneer Index.
Could you tell me where you got you information from?

One photo that looks like it may have been from the 40's is of a toddler named Arthur Temple Fennell and notes that he is 16 months old. There are other photos of people I do not know. I can scan this picture and forward it if you are interested. There are other photos that I could send that are not identified. My family lived in Baltimore City when I was born. If interested, give me an e-mail address and I will forward this picture. If it is your Arthur, maybe the other picture will be of interest.
