Burnell Family Tree
| This
website details the family history of one branch of the Burnell family
which can be traced back to Roundhay (now a suburb of Leeds, Yorkshire)
in the mid 17th
century. It also covers the ancestors of two of the youngest members of the Burnell family - Matthew and Peter, grandsons to Martin Burnell, the author of this site. For five generations the family lived in the village of Little Ribston in the West Riding. The picture shows the burial place of Robert and Hannah Burnell in the churchyard in Spofforth - the local parish church. The earliest ancestor so far traced is John Burnell, who was one of two brothers living in Roundhay from at least 1632. It is not known for certain where he was born, but he may well be linked to Burnells living in Leeds itself around 1600. Use the links on the left to navigate the site. Sorry
