Recently, their story was featured in an ITV episode of The Graveyard Detectives.

Possible Gingells?

I came across the following message I found in my inbox, and I should have posted this ages ago, so here goes...

Dear Craig

Attached is a photo found in my grandmother's collection which she believes are Gingells. Do you have any idea who they might be ? Remember my direct line is George and Hannah (nee Fortune) Gingell of Hilperton/Trowbridge. They were still alive at the turn of the 20th Century, so it is possible this photo is of a family wedding. If so, it would have to be a wedding of one of the daughters as the two sons left for the States.

Best wishes

Richard

Olympic Bronze Medal

This Olympic Bronze Medal came up for auction on 25 August 2009 at Dreweatts in Bristol. I'm not sure why anyone would part with a medal, but here it is. Awarded to Albert Gingell in the 1908 London Olympics for in the freestyle wrestling lightweight class.

Here is a link to the auctioneer's website, incorrectly attributing the medal to Samuel Gingell -

"Olympics - A London 1908 bronze medal, awarded to Samuel Gingell (Great Britain), the rim engraved 'Third Prize Light Wrestling (C. AS. C.), with scroll surmounts and suspension loop for wearing; together with a Services Army pocket watch, (2)."


http://www.dnfa.co.uk/bristol/search.asp?view=lotno&auction=20362&lotno=636&uniqueid=365736-1

The medal was sold together with a Services Army pocket watch for £800.
