The Reynolds family come into my family tree through my great-grandmother Ethel
Bennett, as her mother was a Reynolds - Clara Reynolds in 1864 in Beachampton,
Bucks.
I have managed to trace her family line back as far as William Reynolds who was born before 1800 (I'm not sure exactly when or where..) He married a lady called Ann, unfortunately I don't know her surname but I do know she was born in Evenly in Oxfordshire. William and Ann had a number of children all of which were born in the village of Beachampton in Buckinghamshire. They were Thomas (1822), Louisa (1824), Henry (1826), Benjamin (1828), Richard (1832-32), Hannah (1832-1852), Ann (1835) , John (1837-37) and James (1838). William Reynolds sadly died in 1841 leaving Ann to struggle to bring the remaining children up. Benjamin Reynolds who was born in 1828 married Mary Bennett in 1859 in Beachampton, Bucks and their children were all born in Beachampton. They were Arthur (1860), Charles (1861), Clara (1864) and Louise (1867). Clara Reynolds was born in Beachampton in 1864 and left home at quite an early age to work as a maid in a house in Stony Stratford. She married James Bennett in Beachampton in 1888. The name Reynolds is thought to come from Normandy in France and may have been introduced to England at the time of William the Conqueror, through Willhelmus filius Rainaldi in 1086 |
