Hi I have came across some details off a Medieval English/Scottish Family Hextild, I.E Malcolm,Earl of Athol d.between 1186 and 1198 m 2nd wife Hextilda ,daughter of Waltheof or Uchtred( son of Donald Bane),and Widow of Richard Comyn from this point on there are details of Hextild`s at Roxborough / Kelso /Northumberland /Hexham with a burn running into the River Tyne called Hextall`s, i can not find any connections of Hextall`s History and Hexam Northumberland. I was wondering , no hoping that there may be a connection with the two names Hextild / Hextall .Staffordshire Historical records show details of Hegstils leading to Hextall`s being Lord`s of the Manor . and with connections to Duke of Buckingham/Stafford I am sorry to say that i have little experience in Genealogy todate but i am trying very hard to learn . I do hope that someone may find a little time to give some help/guidance in my research kind regards Ian James Hextall. Below are so details about myself . My names Ian James Hextall I have been researching my family name Now for some time, I was born in Coalville in Leicestershire 28 June 1953 and I now live in a small town in Scotland called Denny, this is in Stirlingshire. I hope that you do not mind me getting in touch with you through this email Address. I found it on the Internet under the name (Hextall) I am Building up as much interesting information about the name as I can I would like to think that all this information would become a Free reference point for anyone wishing to gain data about their Hextall Family Roots I now have many interesting details about this name going back to the c1200 with around 1300 Hextall family members in my tree so far. I have and do keep in touch With Hextalls from all around the world. A lot of this information is not on any web site and never will be I don't wish anyone To make a financial gain from this data. I spend long hours as you may note from the timing of this email Researching on this hobby/quest. Right to my question I was hoping that you would like to help in acquiring some details that I may add to my research i.e. your family connections, old photos, interesting stories. Did you know we have Royal links with the Tudors family after the Battle of Bosworth, and that there is a c1200 church with beautiful stained glass Windows dedicated to the Hextall family, Hextalls were also Mayors of Dover and lived in Dover Castle. You may wish to ask questions about the Hextall family name. I will do my best to answer all emails that I receive [email protected] I hope that you may spare some time to reply to my email. If you feel that at this time it is not possible that's fine. Would you please perhaps help me with some details of someone that might wish to help with this surname research. Very Kind Regards I
