Hunwickes in Essex/Suffolk
I am looking for information on the Hunwicke family from the Essex area, specifically Colchester.
My great grandfather was William James Hunwicke (born in the late 1800s), he had two brothers Stanley (who married Elsie) and Eley (who married Grace). William married Ruth Smith and they spent WW1 posted on Ascension Island.
I believe them to be descended from Hunwickes from Kelvedon (near Colchester, Essex).
In 1821 a William Hunwicke married Ann Ely in Kelvedon. They had at least 7 children one of which was called William Eley Hunwicke (c. 24 Aug 1824, in Kelvedon). My theory is my great grandfather is a descendant of this line.
I am also interested in tracing the Eley/Ely side of the family.
