Surnames: TEAL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wYRBAIB/327 Message Board Post: I have been researching the name of Teal for 14 years and I have been stuck for many years trying to trace Robert Teal born 1757, Treswell/Truswell, Nottinghamshire, UK, Died 10 October 1830, East Retford, Notts. Left a Will leaving property and land in Misterton, Notts, which surprised me as he was a boatman. He married Mary Lawrence in 1778 at Sutton Cum Lound, Notts church and had 5 children: Elzabeth bapt 15.11.1781; Robert bap 9.10.1785 (his name crossed out 3 times in his father's Will); Emanuel bapt 14.10.1787; Mary bapt 1.11.1789 and John bapt 28.9.1794. Both Emanuel and John were left property and land in Misterton, they are both buried there. I can not find Robert's parents, his brothers or sisters, any information on this family would be gratefully received. Sarah Finch
