I am trying to find more information about my 5 x Great Grandfather, Thomas Lindsell (or variants) who I believe established a Coach, Cart and Wheelwright business in 1740 located in East Street, Prittlewell, Essex where the present Railway Hotel now stands. The firms advert of the 18th century also reads 'agent for the leading manufactures of agricultural implements and basket carriages'. The business was subsequently run by my 4 x GG, 3 x GG and 3 x G Uncle until the premises and private house were destroyed by fire in November 1872. In the extract from the Parish Register Transcript of St Mary's, Prittlewell there is a baptism for John Lyndsey in 1769 and a Mary Linsey in 1772 both have parents listed as Thomas and Ann. Could these be the parents of my 4 x GG, Thomas born C1758? No other details about Thomas or Ann Lindsell have come to light. Can anyone please help with information on Thomas and Ann Lindsell (or variants) or the business itself? David Lindsell
