Chisnalls
Chisnall is the middle name of my great-grandfather Frederick Chisnall Andrews.
I haven't been able to establish a definite connection to this family, but there were Chisnalls living in Ipswich at the same time as my Andrews ancestors. In the 1851 census I found Thomas Chisnall living at 42 Fore Street. He was a carpenter employing one man. His wife was Eliza Chisnall, 38, his daughter was also called Eliza, 15 and a scholar, and his son was Henry, 11, and also a scholar. The family must have been reasonably well off to be sending their children to school at this age.
