Cantell family

[jdn5764]

Hi everyone,

Trying to do a bit of detective work for my Uncle.

His father was William James Cantell botn June 4th 1888, died 24th July 1957.

He married Helen O'Grady & they had several childten. She died whilst I believe liiving in B-ham.

He remarried Ethel Winifred Clarke (nee Allcock) in 1945 and they had two children Kenneth William and Janet Diane.

From what I can make out, William james Cantell father was Charles William Cantell, born 1855, birth district Witney. I think he married a Sarah Church from Pangborne. That is as much as I have been able to find out, if anyone can find out more about them and the Cantell family it would be appreciated,.

There is a rumour that another child was born, but neither with Helen or Ehtel. How true this is I do not know.

Would this be them in the 1871 census?

Sarah Church married William Charles Cantell in 1887

This looks like William James in 1901
as you can see his mother Sarah is a widow.
address.....Guildford Road, Chertsey

I beleive my branch of the Cantell family hails from Witney too, stonemasons in fact. But I don't recognise the names and dates exactly. My grandfather was Charles William Cantell, but born in 1872 not 1855 (he died in Buckingham in 1951). I don't know a William James, though I do have a George James 1858-1948.
