The Raindle/Raindall/Rendall/Rendle Family of Merriott

Earliest Mentions            19th Century            Censuses            20th Century

This family is somewhat difficult to track through the Merriott records because of the variations in the way the name was spelled.   There arose the situation of, for example, children growing up & spelling their surname in a different way to their parents, once they themselves were having children baptised.  As a result, I am including all forms of the name on this page.  The variations in the early records may be nothing more than the personal interpretation of the spelling of the name by whomever was doing the recording.  

Earliest Mention in the Records

The earliest records occur in the first part of the 18th century, being the baptisms & burials of the family of Matthew & Martha Raindel/Rayndel/Rayndol:

Matthew & Martha Raindel Burial 6 July 1712 Eliz
Baptism  21 January 1712 William
Baptism  19 May 1714 Robert
Baptism  16 September 1716 Isaac
Baptism  16 September 1716 Elizabeth
Burial  14 October 1716 Isaac
Burial  29 January 1719 Matthew		 Baptism  January. 1719 Matthew
Baptism  2 February 1720 Martha
Baptism  28 October 1723 Matthew
Burial  25 April 1725 William
Baptism  30 October 1726 William
Burial  14 January 1727 Robert
Baptism  10 March 1727 Mary
Burial  1 June 1729 Mary

Towards the middle of the 18th century, the surname was being spelt with an "e" rather than an "ai": Rendle/Rendal/Rendall/Rendel/Rendell.   Later the "ai" spelling reappeared.

19th Century

During the time of the censuses, the surnames RENDALL & RAINDLE & variations were the 13th most common surname in Merriott.    There does seem to be an injection of at least one line of "new" blood into Merriott with the marriage of the Yeoman William Rendall, of Hinton St George to Mary Templeman in 1804.
