| Comments: | A big hello to all you lucky people who bear the name Funnell. It is great to see so many family members interested in finding their roots.
I`m fascinated by the hardships and struggle our relatives had to go through just to survive. There is a site called "Funnell`s Wood" which has good links to family trees and interesting tit-bits. Good Luck with the search, Jim. p.s. I have been trying to get people to say Funn-ell for forty five years. |

| Comments: | Hello All Funnell's
It was interesting to find so many Funnell's. I think most of the family Emigrated from England. Portsmouth I believe. The family Plot dates back to the early 1800's , with the owner buying the family plot for 6 pounds. We are in the Kingston area now. My grandfather was Charles Hugh Funnell , he was named after the man who purchased the plot Charles Hugh Linter. Who was an American and married Ann Funnell and they had a baby that died. Mr Linter ran a Grocery Store in Kingston. He immigrated fron Watertown Newe York which is 30 miles from Kingston. Super reading all the stories . Thank You Bill Funnell |

| Comments: | Hello allyou Funnells.
I have a data base on most of the Funnells born/married/died in England from 1760. My own family date from Rodmell/Rottingdean in Sussex. Mostly blacksmiths or agricultural workers a couple of shepherds and bad boys thrown, some of the ladies of our 'family' were not behind the door either at pushing themselves forward, long live the emancipated women she always leaves records for us to read. I would love to hear from any Funnells and would be happy to share information. I live in Seaford Sussex so am near enough to go look at the records office for thee too if required. |

| Comments: | Hi again, I am pretty sure my relative that moved to Australia was named Thomas, was a free man and moved to the Camden area in nsw Australia. As far as I can make out he was a blacksmith. I have no knowledge of any family in Britain or the area Thomas was from but if someone reading this thinks they are related please feel free to contact me on the above email address. It would be awesome to say the least to be able to trace my British forefathers and be able to look back more than a couple of hundred years. |

| Comments: | I am writing on behalf of a good friend, George Funnell. He was born in 1926 in England. Unfortunately when he was 3 years old his mother left him in an orphanage at Eastborne. He says he had a brother which his mother kept. George has no known relatives and understandably would love to find a family connection. He also lived in a boys home north of London. He then joined the army and moved to Australia when he was about 21. If anyone has any information or thinks they could be related, please contact me. |

| Comments: | well,
a dark sheep of the family! I am now 7 with a sister living in Australia. I never knew of my father's history but have now traced a birth certificate. Born 3rd April 1917 to an Ada Funnell who was a cook/domestic and resided at 12 South Street, Lewes. No father on the certificate!! I do remember my father saying his mother died when he was young (which may not be true) and he was brought up in an orpange in Lewes before joining the army at 14. Sadly dad died when only 50. Any small tips of help or how I might progress I would find really usefull. |

| Comments: | Just an update on my search for R. S. Funnell - his name is Ronald Spencer Funnell, and I've now tracked down one of the two publications I mentioned in my earlier posting. I've also found another one called Surf-Riding on the Atlantic Coast, self-published in 1953. I think he might have had something to do with Newquay. He appears to be an early (and so far uncelebrated) pioneer of Cornish surfing! Does this ring any bells for any Funnells out there? |

| Comments: | Hi - I'm trying to track down a R. S. Funnell who wrote a book called Newquay and Cornwall, The Handy 1/- Guide, published in 1934. I wonder if he is the same person as Ronald Funnell who wrote The Art of Surf-riding also in 1934, the first British guide to surfing? I'm trying to track down both books for research purposes. If you know anything about R.S/Ronald, I'd like to know something about him! |

I'm the son of Steven Funnell, from Coulsdon, England. It's my dads 60th on September 29th this year. He is married to Hilary, maiden name Cross, who has a rather big family and who are all quite scary (apart from my mother). I have two sisters - Emma and Fay Funnell (not yet married - it's the 9th Feb 2007). Or am I, however I have the goods to reproduce and follow on this fantastic surname which is pronounced Funn-ell and not Fun-all. Long live the king! Dale |

| Comments: | Hi,
I have just stumbled upon your interesting Funnell page. My Grandparents were William Ebenezer and Alice Funnell from England, who emigrated to Canada about 1910, living in various places before finally settling in the Okanagan Valley of BC - Canada's only little strip of semi-desert. Two of their five children were born in Canada. I am distantly related to Ros Doig who posted earlier messages here and mention me. My interest is in tracing the background of William Ebenezer. So far I have not found out where he was born, the location or date of the marriage to Alice Tucker, or exactly when they emigrated to Canada. I recently found out he is the son of another William Funnell from Sussex (I note many Funnells came from Sussex), who married Louisa ? (last name not known.) His birth year should be about 1856. In addition to William E., they had two other children, Edith and Albert J. Anybody else out there have a connection? |

| Comments: | Good evening, my grandfather was Thomas Earnest Funnell, who was an early pioneer (1911) in the Peace River country of N. Alberta Canada. I would love to hear from Funnells, especially those associated with horses who are living in England. I have a daughter who has just graduated from university as a mechanical engineer and she is moving to England to ride horses and to find a job as an engineer. She is a serious student of dressage riding.
Thanks for the great opportunity to read about other Funnell's. |

He had 3 sons and 1 daughter who in turn have had many other kids. Theres a whole group of Funnells here, about 20 i think.
My grandfather died Dec 02, age 77 |

| Comments: | Hi all, my mum's maiden name was Funnell.
I live in Nottingham UK, but my grandfather was a Brighton Funnell. This is a message mainly for John Victor Funnell. I spotted your reply mainly cos my girlfriend's a Melbourne girl - but if I'm right your Grandfather Frederick is my great Grandfather's brother. My Frederick was one of about 10 kids of William Funnell the grocer and pork butcher, who's widow Elizabeth is in the 1851 census as head of the household at 21 Gardner St, Brighton. Frederick here is 24 and down as a Sailor. The family tree my brother has compiled shows Frederick's occupation as Furniture Shop owner. Now, in the 1901 Census, Frederick is down as a furniture dealer in Clyde rd, Brighton, married to Amelia with 9 children. Though 1901 is too early to mention Edward Victor, one of Frederick's son's is down as what looks like Iran, or Ivan, but it's difficult to make out. He's down as 2 years old. I feel sure this is a genuine connection! If so, you may be interested in knowing the tree my brother has compiled is complete to William Funnell of Chiddingly born around 1660. |

My father's name was Edward Victor Funnell (died 1991, aged 89) but he quarrelled with all 7 of his brothers and sisters and I never met them He would never talk of his family so I know very little. I do know that one brother, Ivan Funnell, was Chief Cashier of the Brighton Co-op for some years and also a JP. It would be good if someone out there is an offspring of those missing relatives. |

William married Mary Ann Lilley in 1819 and she was underaged at the time of the marriage.

As many of you have said, I too was amazed with the number of Funnell's out there tracing down their family tree. I have just started and have little to go on. However, there are more than 100 Funnell households in New Zealand, some originating from the same Charles Funnell b1830 who emigrated from England in 1873 to NZ. I think that Charles married twice; first to Emma (of who I know little about except that she died in 1867), and secondly to Mary Bashford in 1869 and they had nine children. Of those children, Charles Triner Funnell b1870 was my great grandfather. I am starting to work on this line and am interested in any information! My best wishes to all. |

| Name: | Martin (Funnell) Harvey |
| E-mail address: | nong43@hotmail.com |
| Comments: | Big hello to all Funnells everywhere. My name is Martin
Harvey. I was born in Buckinghamshire (coincidentally enough at the Royal Canadian Red Cross Hospital) in Taplow in 1972. My mother is Carole Harvey (ne้ Funnell) born in High Wycombe (where I grew up), but before that our Funnell line is pure Sussex (my grandad, Ernest Charles Funnell (not the same one mentioned by Andrew Funnell) was born in Horsham, and his father, Ernest Funnell, was born in Etchingham. Ernest's father and grandfather were both called Charles, and the earlier Charles's father and grandfather were both Edwards. At present we can trace the Funnell line back to William Funnell, born in Chiddingly in 1668, married Mary Townset/Tomset in 1688. (None of this was my own work - the research back to 1796 was conducted by a distant cousin of mine, Wendy Russell (ne้ Funnell) and that back to 1668 was obtained by Jeff Funnell (as yet no proven relation)). I got hold of the information over a very short period in August, and it has given me a completely different perspective - all my life I'd thought of my family as just those members I knew, but now I realise that my family is huge and the members I knew just a small branch. If anyone thinks their tree may link into mine or can get back earlier than 1668, I'd be glad to hear from them. Maybe we can help each other. Like the puns, Geoff! There's a lot to be said for the corny joke. |

| Comments: | I have looked at your site with interest not least because
the Funnells at Chiddingly enter my family during the 1850's and also in 1949 my late Grandmother Catherine Marlow married her second husband George Richard Funnell who was born at Barcombe in Sussex in 1877/8. I have now started to research this family and I believe already that the Funnel family in Sussex, irrespective of place of birth are all related even though it may well be way back. I would appreciate your comments. Fred French |
