• Notes

  From: "Andrew Sellon" < andrew.sellon@lineone.net > Subject: RE: Bendall at Cam Hunt as I will, I can not find Marilyn's query about the name Bendall. I amnot going to allow that from asking her if she has come across the name ofLittlehales associated with Bendall?My gr gr gr grandfather William Sellon had a childhood sweetheart namedSarah Littlehales. He left school in London, (she lived in Westminster,where he was at school), to go up to Cambridge. He did not get far with hisstudies there, having got her pregnant and being forced to give them up onmarriage. He then studied for the church (and ended up in Clerkenwell asperpetual curate, and gained the sobriquet 'Silvertongue Sellon').Sarah Littlehales had a nephew, Bendall Robert Littlehales, Vice-Admiral ofthe Red, 1765 - 1847, who took her grandson, my gr gr grandfather namedWilliam Richard Baker Smith (who later changed his name to Sellon to complywith the terms of a bequest) into the Royal Navy as Midshipman.
