Hi Listers, Have only just this minute found and joined this list. I am looking for anyone who is researching the Surnames HANNELL/HENNELL in Herts. and who possibly originated in Germany then came to UK and settled and went to Herts (not sure where started off in Herts) but ended up in Butcherly Green and at least one (mine) went to Westminster, London. Seemed to be very Poor in 1800's. My John was a Shoemaker who was married to a Mary who died when his Son James b.1813 was 4yrs. old when he moved to London with him. The ending for John was very sad. The name then changed to HENNELL my Maiden name. Any help or ideas please. Best wishes Sandra
