Hi Mark I'm sorry I should have put in more detail of where and when for my Ansell/Angell dilemma. It would have saved you a bit of unnecessary research - but thank you for your time and interest! It is always a dilemma how much detail to put. I was hoping someone would come and claim the family for me! Charles Henry Ansell (1852 - 1882 India) married Hannah Mary Anne Jane Cooper in Bengal, India in 1878. They had 3 children Arthur Henry Cooper Ansell (1879 - 1880), Charles Henry Ansell (1881 - 1926) and Nina Viola Adelaide Ansell (1881 - ). As you can see they could not be the Angell/Ricketts connection in England. After her husband's death. Mary Anne Jane Ansell married Frederick Ricketts in India in 1886, having a further 4 children (that I know of) - Alfred and Vera, twins born in 1887 died in infancy, and Mona (1890 - ) and Albert (1891 - 1942). I think I have just found a strong connection to Mona Ricketts, who may be able to shed some light. So I hope that helps with any possible connections Hi Rachel, I think you need to look at records from the UK. Ancestry has the marriage in St George-in-the East in London, 1888 of Charles Henry Angell. The list of marriage banns for that year shows his bride as Elizabeth Ricketts. This marriage certificate would certainly help on your question.
