Ewbank, Lunt and Redgrave Family History

The Lunts

The Lunts get pride of place on this page as I've been working on that side of my family recently. So far I've traced our Lunt connections back to about 1690, mostly in Lancashire and to a lesser extent in North Wales. The majority of this information, which includes more than 850 individuals from dozens of surnames, has come from the Government’s records of births, marriages and deaths (from 1837), from the UK censuses taken between 1841 and 1911 and from parish registers of baptisms, marriages and burials. I've also spent many happy hours in County Record Offices and wandering around graveyards!

Along the way I've learned about our ancestors, their work, their relationships, and how and where they lived their lives. It's interesting stuff - I hope you enjoy learning about them as much as I have. You can follow my Lunt family history by clicking on the link at the top of the page.

The Ewbanks

Rowland Lorenzo Ewbank, my paternal grandfather, was born in 1895, the fifth generation of a Hull family that could trace their Yorkshire roots back to the early seventeenth century. He served as a member of the Royal Artillery in WW1 and survived the war only to die in February 1921, probably of the Spanish Flu which was sweeping through Europe at the time.

Ewbank is very much a 'northern' surname that probably has its roots in the Cumbria/Yorkshire/County Durham borders - there's even a place called 'High Ewebank'in the wilds of Cumbria. I've traced my particular branch of the family tree back the village of Barton in North Yorkshire and to Thomas Ewbank who was born in about 1629.

The Redgraves

Thomas Redgrave and Phyllis May Butt were married in Edmonton, north London, in 1936. Tom, who was born in 1906, was the youngest of ten children of Joseph and Caroline Redgrave, eight of whom survived into adulthood; Phyllis was an only child whose father, Walter Butt, was born in Gibralter whist her mother, Eleanor Ann Ingall, was born in Southwark.

The Redgraves seem originally to have come from the Rayleigh area of Essex before moving to the Southwark area of London in the mid 19th Century.
