Re: my middle name is armenell
in reply to a message by Pie
My great great great grandmother was born on a ship coming to Melbourne Australia from Cormwell named ARMENELL MARION . The father was in such a hurry to register the birth ..he registered her as Marion Armenell ...after the ship . The name has been passed down to the eldest daughter ..but unfortunately I had 2 sons . The full name of the baby was MARION ARMENELL DAVIES . The DAVIES descendants have regular family reunions . It's all do very interesting . I love family history stuff . gpj

How interesting , my middle name is ARMENELL... In our family history the oldest daughter has Armenell as a middle name. My aunt who was Nancy Armenell Herbert, had 4 sons and no daughters. My mother Betty Margret HERBERT had a daughter (me) Sally Armenell HASLINGDEN. When my aunt died I inherited the family diamond ring, which was known as the Armenell ring.

Hi . My middle name is Armenell also . It has been passed down to the eldest daughter of each generation. It was originally the name of a ship bringing settlers to Australia . My mum is Marion Armenell Webster .. her Mother was Teresa Armenell ... her mother had Armenell as a middle name ..etc . They originally came from St Michael's Mount in Cornwall . I'm not sure if your relatives are from there also . I've never heard of the Armenell diamond . How very interesting .
I would love to know more . Thankyou . Julie
