The Ginns of Belchamp

I would like to find any information about the Ginn Families living in and around Belchamp St. Paul's in the 19th Century. My maternal Grandfather was Stanley William GINN - born Barnet, Herts 1890 to John Herbert GINN and Alice GINN formerly Caplin. (My great grandparents) John Herbert was born Belchamp St. Paul's 1860. His parents were Henry & Sarah GINN. (My great great grandparents) Henry was born c1833 Foxearth. Henry's parents were John GINN (dob c1801) & Hannah GINN (my great great great grandparents).

It seems to me there were at least 3 Ginn families living in the area in the 1800s and I am sure they were all related. I would love to hear from anyone who could provide me further information or indeed a distant relation.


Many thanks,



Brian Robinson
