Surnames: ATWELL CLOSE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4YB.2ACEB/423.1 Message Board Post: After much research today I have traced our ATWELL line to James ATWELL born 1822 Compton Dundon, Somerset, ENG m. 1844 to Rosanna CLOSE b. 1824 Compton Dundon, Somerset, ENG. Children Joseph b 1848, Abelina b 1850, Stephen b 1854, Dinah b 1858. They came to Australia in 1863. James b. 1822 father named James ATWELL & mother Ann according to IGI records. Love to hear from anyone linked to this line or anyone who knows of siblings of James ATWELL or mothers maiden name. Thanks Melanie tplace@iinet.net.au
