Notes for Mary Eleanor Gambell
Originally I was informed she was name ‘ Mary Frances Gambell’.
FreeBMD has her name as ‘Mary Eleanor Gambell’ in its birth record; this is correctly transcribed from the index.
In the 1911 census her father clearly wrote her name as Mary Eleanor, so this is what it was!
In 1977 her death is with the name Mary Eleanor; this confirms that my original information about her second name was wrong.
Stephen Marks says she was known as Molly.
She had been given the Marshall tryptych of miniatures and in 1977 left them to her cousin Isobel Powys who had married Herbert Hanry Marks, by whose son Stephen Powys Marks they came to me. They had probably last been in the hands of Marshall descendants when Julia Barrington was given them and then married Henry Philip Powys. My conjecture is that they were given to William Cunliffe Powys by his father Henry Philip Powys, thereby leaving Hardwick where they might have stayed after Julia’s death in 1821. William Cunliffe might have received them any time up to 1859 when his father died.
