Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,496 Send Message	Welcome to the boards Pamela. It's unlikely that anyone will just happen by your post. The Tunwell name appears to be relatively uncommon but there are many, many Woodheads. Try using the search facility top right of this page and enter names of people you might be looking for and see if any matches come up. You can then try to contact them through the GR system - if they have the same email address they registered with GR they will receive a message saying you're trying to contact them. Unfortunately a reply is not a given. Marriages 1929 - the only marriage from 1837 to 2007 involving both names TUNWELL William Woodhead W. Ham 4a 844 Woodhead Florence A Tunwell W.Ham 4a 844 3 children from that marriage, including a Pamela If you want help to trace ancestors you need to give as much information as you have ie. names, places, dates and let us know what you're wanting to find out.
