Hi Ann
My husband is descended from Margaret Mansell, the daughter of Thomas Mansell and Susannah Wales. I am interested in Josiah Mansell who went to USA. No wonder I couldn't find him.
Margaret Mansell married John Bate or Bates.

Hello,

I am researching the Mansell fasmily tree. I saw you posting and I have a Henry James Mansell b about 1880 in London England , his father was my great grandfather Thomas Mansell b Shrewsbury England 1860.

Information on Henry is scant. It appears he was a seafarer who may have settled in Canada about 1900?. After this date my information ends.

Henry had 3 sisters and 1 brother. His youngest sister Ada settled in Canada, the others remained in the NW of England.

Not sure if this is the Henry you are researching but the link to Canada and the NE of the USA may be more than coincidence.

Regards

Stuart Mansell

You probably know that mourning dove was a great grandmother of Elvis Presley? She also my great maybe great great grandmother of mine. My father researched all of this but his records were misplaced when he passed away I. 1998. If you find any addtl info please let me know. In the meantime we are still searching for my fathers search results.

Hi Elizabeth. My gggrandfather was Sylvester Mansell b. approx 1854 in Tn. He had 2 sons, my ggrandfather, Edmon aka Edward Sylvester b. approx 1875 in Illinois & Taylor Franklin aka Franklin Taylor b. approx 1877 in Arkansas. On the 1880 census they were listed as Mansull. His wife was Elizabeth. From the information given on the census I believe she was a second wife. This is the only record I have ever found on Sylvester, therefore I am looking at a brick wall. I believe he used another name, but I don't have any idea what it was. The 2 brothers came to Oklahoma in the early 1900's. If you have any information on Sylvester I would appreciate it.

My maiden name is Mansell. My dad, Wilbur Leon Mansell, was born in Hobart, OK. His dad and mom were Ira Vance and Lula Mansell. Dad had several brothers and sisters but do not know all their names. Is interesting to find other Mansells.

Great idea, I prefer email too- I think attaching photos, etc. are easier that way. msu6880@hotmail.com

Yes, Wendy has been a great Mansell source for those family members who stayed in Toronto.

I would love the pix of Mansell headstones at Prospect Cemetery. Does this mean you also live in Toronto, Canada?

Jane

Re: Mansell>Toronto>Ontario>Canada

jpetz50 — 2012-01-12 21:40:37Z

Yes, isn't it interesting that you get a lot of research for one side of the family but have a heck of a time with another branch of the family. I did find a John Edwin Usher also.

No, I am not in Toronto but grew-up in Michigan. My family are from Chicago, Illinois and my Grandpa Mansell is the one from Toronto originally. When my husband retires we are going to go back to my home state to be closer to family. Thank you for the link. I will check it out.
Happy Hunting!!

Wow! what part of Ohio do you travel through the upper part like Toledo? We are in Toledo about once a month to see Jim's stepmom and stepsister. A friend of mine wants to make a book out of all of her genealogy work. I am trying to organize my information. It is a major task. I enjoy doing it though. Also, you need to go back through everything periodically because you realize that it leads you to another avenue to research.

Thank you and take care-

Yes, Elizabeth Noblett is/was my 1st cousin 3x removed. I have a lot of Noblett research. There is also an Usher researcher I have communicated with in the past. He gave me quite a bit of material.

Here is a link to a "conversation" I had with a lady re a painting by John Edwin Usher. I may take you into the middle of the conversation but ...... It's very interesting. I found a painting by the same name, by a different artist, in a museum in Iowa. I haven't been able to get by there to ck it out.

http://www.mythings.com/Valuations.aspx?itemid=582615

The second link (below)is to a book published in Toronto c. 1900 that also talks about the painting & has a brief bio.

Enjoy!!

p.s.Are you in Toronto?

Re: Mansell>Toronto>Ontario>Canada

zaap2000 — 2012-01-12 20:00:10Z

Yes...if memory serves me, it is Wendy. She has me as a family member on her ancestry tree. She has a lot of good info there. There are a bunch of obits I sent her. Maybe she will add you if you are not already there. I have pix of Mansell headstone at Prospect Cemetery as well as others. Let me know if you would like them.

How do we make contact via private e-mail. I don't do this very often plus, I can send file attachment!

Jean

Re: Mansell>Toronto>Ontario>Canada

jpetz50 — 2012-01-12 19:21:10Z

Hi Jean,

Does the name John Edward Usher and Elizabeth Noblett show up in your searches? Also, there was a John Usher born in 1860 in Etobicoke, York, Ontario but with out the census to look at, it is hard to tell if this is your Usher. Good luck and it is difficult to know if you have the right person without seeing the actual document.

Re: Mansell>Toronto>Ontario>Canada

jpetz50 — 2012-01-12 19:02:36Z

Hi Jean- Is your Mansell contact Wendy? I was fortunate enough to meet her last summer when she came to our reunion near Chicago, IL. Yes, it is always good to keep in touch and share what we have discovered. The FamilySearch site is helpful if you have not tried them. If you have good names to work with you can find out a lot through that site too.

Thank you for getting back with me.

Sincerely,

Jane

Hi, Jane, thanks for contacting me. It's great to hear from a person directly/closely related to one of the family lines I am researching!

I have the marriage info & with the help of another Mansell researcher, we have filled in a lot of the family history in Toronto. My connection is on the Usher side. Elizabeth Noblett Usher was Amy's mother.

Keep in touch. Maybe we can share some info & pictures (mostly from other researcher who I can probably put u in touch with.)

Hi ,

Thanks for your response. It appear's Mansell's are every where. I have not managed to establish a link with the USA branch though I identified a Canadian branch from the early 1900's.

I am not aware of a Francis in my line. I will keep researching Henry - thanks again.

Re: Henry Mansell b 1768 Shropshire

karenpeerterry64 — 2011-11-06 16:50:15Z

I have not researched my Mansells that far back. I have Francis H. Mansell b. abt 1780> Shropshire, married Mary Ann Hendricks(son?) in England by 1800. Francis was a pudler of sorts came to USA, NY then mostly Morris
County NJ by 1830 ish, for a consortium of business/money peoples who paid for his voyage and other Englishman that would work a mine in Morris Co. NJ for them. Francis died early, possibly 1839, his wife Mary Ann (AKA MARION) Hendricks (son) Mansell was very industrious in Boonton, NJ and bought land from the Mining Company for houses to be build. She died by (I may be off a little, would have to check my notes) I believe 1860 ish, buried in Boonton, NJ. I have definite dates and tombstone pictures. Right now not easily accessible. Other than the H in my Francis name I do not recall or found a Henry for my Mansells. Never know, though.

My Grandparents were Henry J. Mansel 1879-1951 and Fannie Jane (Elliott) Mansel 1889-1983, My Parents were Elmer Lee Howell 1925-2005 and Wilma Jean (Mansel) Howell 1926-1991. I used to take Grandmother Mansel to the family reunion down at either Duncan or Durant It has been a long time ago. She would visit with Harley. My Mom was their youngest child and we lived the closest to Grandma and Grandpa. I was only about 8 when Grandpa Mansel passed away but I do remember him. His father,my Great grandfather, Robert Mansel, fought in the civil war. Seems strange doesn't it.

Re: Mourning Flowers and Morning Dove White

ThelmaWaldroup43 — 2011-07-28 15:13:31Z

My grandmother's name was Elizabeth Mourning or Morning. We don't know how it it spelled. One cousin said she had heard something about her grandmother or mother was Cherokee. I started doing research with the information I had and found that her grandmother Arey Ann Woods was a full blood Cherokee. I found this on someone elses tree. They have no other information about it. I can find no information that connects our line of McKenzie to Mourning Flowers. I know that Morning Dove White married William Mansell and is a great grandmother to Elvis. I don't remember how many greats William and my gr,gr,grandfather were brothers. This was on my grandfather Zeigler's side.

Re: Mourning Flowers and Morning Dove White

kathype1 — 2011-07-26 20:30:45Z

Mourning Flowers is one of my great...whatever grandmothers, she married Edward Mancill about 1771 I am descended throught their daughter Mary Polly Mancill who married a Holley. This is facsinating about the Cherokee hertitage. How did you find this information out? (oral history, a older relative, family Bibles?) I just came back from a Smoky mountain vacation and while there saw the "Unto these Hills" drama in Cherokee... now, this is my history too. Please let me know any details that you might know, thanks Kathy

This was my great, great grandfather. I always find them both as being born about 1795 . this had had me wondering if they were twins.

Mansell / Fullwood family

JeanetteAllen21 — 2011-07-13 18:48:03Z

Hello Mansell clan. I am looking for the adopted daughter of John Mansell (DOB 1865) from Crewe England and his wife Ann Jane (DOB 1860)Nee Fullwood, from Liverpool England. They married about 1899 and were living in Smallthorne, Stoke on Trent England. In 1901 they adopted a female child from Leek workhouse. They changed the child's name from Martha Ann Shufflebotham to Angelika Mansell. From an entry on the Family Search website I believe they were in Gage Nebraska in 1910. I believe Ann Jane may have died in Stoke on Trent England in 1925, if so they or she must have returned to UK. Any information especially about the child gratefully received.
