Well, I never. This is an answer from another list (AUS-MILITARY), which may well be on the way to a solution: Linda just checked the free BMD site in the UK - found an Alfred Charles Ensil who married in 1892 in Stourbridge - found the name Ensil on another site that I know in the same area the late 1800's. Might be that your A Ensil belongs to the same family - is it worth checking into the movements of this Alfred Charles Ensil or contacting the local research centre in the UK to see if they can help with any information? Long shot I know but the only other Ensil's that I have turned up are from Estonia or the name has been used as a christian name. Lynette -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
