Hello,
I wonder if anyones doing any research or knows anything about the old Steele line of Sandbach Cheshire?
I have been in contact with a Steele cousin who sent me lots of info and the family tree of these Steeles who match up with my Steeles in the early
1700's which is as far as I had managed to get back to on my own.
The tree then stretches back to 1540 when Thomas Steele of Weston was born. He was married to Alice Latham.
His son, Richard was married to Laticia Shaw and then Richard and Laticia's son, grand son and great grandson were all called William Steele.
Then the great grandson William married Mary Coniam;
they had John who married Elizabeth.
Now though the old seat of the Steeles was Sandbach Cheshire at a place called Giddy Hall (now no longer exists) they did move about a bit and there's a whole branch of Irish based descendents though no irish by birth.
So some of these Steels lived and worked in Ireland then returned to England as in the case of John and Elizabeth Steele who moved down to Suffolk.
This is where this old tree meets my tree;
John and Liz had William Steel (now the 'e' at the end gets dropped)
Will married Prudence Naylor and they raised their family in Icklingham, Suffolk.
Will and Pru had William Steel (this is now 1758) and he married a Mary (?)
Will and Mary had Henry Steel in 1791 and he went onto marry Miriam Paine, descended from Dentons (her mother was Miriam Denton) also an old family this yime of Great Barton and Rushbrooke Suffolk.
Now, Henry and Miriam had Charles Edward Steel who became a veterinary surgeon in the Army Medical Corps.
He married a farmers daughter from Ardleigh, Essex, Frances Bedford and they had my great great grandfather, Edwin Bedford Steel (1871-1914) who was in the RAMC (captain 1798 then Major 1906)
Edwin married Ethel Mary Robinson, of a big wealthy Liverpool family of brokers, barristers and academics;
Edwin and Ethel had my great grandfather Christopher Bedford Steel in 1907;
He married my great grandma Ivy 'Rusty' Topham in 1937;
My grandma was born in 1938; my mum born in 1957 and I was born in 1983!
Any help, info on these old Steeles and the rest of those who were married to the Steeles would be most apprreciated.
Bye for now
