Huckle and Slingo are from my father's side of the family. A skeleton of their family trees were completed some years ago by Howard Lambert and Angela Catt respectively. Since then I have extended the basic trees and families.

The Slingos started with Tempas Slinger of Crowmarsh Gifford born in 1674. The name Slinger is said to be Northern English and Dutch: from an agent derivative of Middle English sling, Dutch slinge (strap) for hurling stones, hence an occupational name for a soldier or hunter armed with a sling, or nickname for someone who was a particularly good shot with this weapon. The word was also used of the ropes and pulleys used for lifting blocks of stone during building work, and the surname would also have denoted a worker who operated these slings.
 My Slingos started off in Oxfordshire although the highest prevalence of Slingos in 1881 were in Surrey.In the late 1700's they moved to Bath, Somerset and by the late 1800's the family had settled in Bristol. They married into the Yeatman family who originated from the Wiltshire/Dorset borders but had moved to Bristol during the 1820's

The earliest Huckle that I have record of is William Huckle born in about 1730 in Southill, Bedfordshire. From there they moved to Clapham in Surrey, then to Selby in Yorkshire and from the late 1800's they had settled in Bristol where many of their relatives live now.ancient surname is English. It is said to derive from the early personal names Hucca or Uccak, themselves short forms of the even older name Uhtroed. The first recording of this name was in Huntingdonshier in 1221.It could also come from a German topographic name Huckel, Hückel (small hill)

The Brunyees married into the Huckle family. It is said that Matthew Brunyee came to England in the 1600's to help drain and farm at the Isle of Axholme(The "Dutch Canal" was built between the Ouse and Aire rivers).

The Day's are from mostly from Semley in Wiltshire where they were farmers. However due to paucity of work one of them, John, walked to Wales to find work as a miner. Here he met and married Mary Jones, a village girl originating from Llangybi in Cardiganshire.

Although Jones is a very prolific name in Wales, our family was lucky enough (though not lucky for my g-g-grandfather!) to have many of the vital records going back to mid 1800's. This was because my g-g-grandfather died in the American Civil War and so as the family could claim a pension they had to get all of the relevant certificates together for the authorities in Washington as proof of relationship. Many years ago my uncle enquired if there was any record of Jonathan Morgan Jones and was sent these vital certificates.

FRANK SINCLAIR ORMOND. Now known as FRANK SINCLAIR COOKE thanks to Neil Devers and DNA. He was the first of 10 illigitimate children of Agnes Campbll St Clair and Charles James Cooke. The other children emigrated with their parents to New Zealand.
 are in the 1901 census where he was said to be born in Gloucestershire and the 1911 census where he said he was born in Holborn, London. Where he was before that, no one knows.
