Chells of England
Hi I have been researching the family name CHELL.It is unusual name from England. Sometimes spelt CHEAL or CHELLE. I have managed to trace the family of CHELL back to early 1700.
Nathaniel CHELL is the main ancestor of the family CHELL, from Staffordshire.His decesendants have had large families with 10 or more children in each family, in each generation.
The most interesting family member is Richard CHELL born 1776 and was sent to Australia as a convict in 1789, for stealing some items of clothing. Apparently he got 7yrs for the crime. Not sure what happened to him after he completed his sentence. Its possible he returned to England, cannot find any records to support this. If anyone is fimilar with these records (convict - settlers?) I would appreciate your help. Voi
