Cornaby

Our Cornaby ancestors came from Bungay in Suffolk:

  • Harry William Cornaby (known in later life as Henry) b.1820 who married Celia Lincoln. We know they had at least five children, including:
  • Harry William Cornaby (known as William Cornaby), b.1846. He married Elizabeth White, and they had three children, including:
  • Celia, b.1877. She married William Charles Brown in 1902, and they had five children, including:
  • Dorothy May Brown, b.1903. She married William Ashman and they had six children.
  • Their daughter, Sheila, married John English.
  • Their son, Colin is married to Louise Duerden.

Two of Henry and Celia Cornaby's granddaughters emigrated to Canada. Their story is told on a separate page.

The oldest Cornaby we know about, Henry (or Harry William), was a cordwainer. See the Tradesmen section on a cordwainer
