COULD you assist me in a quest to find a family surname: Chivell?
My sister Joyce married a man called Chivell. Both died, but among their effects were some medals. I have had them cleaned and the ribbons renewed.
The medals were awarded for service from 1914 to 1918 in the Great War in France, as a driver of horses with the Royal Army Service Corps.
Army records show an address in Kendal. It is faint and hardly legible.
The England and Wales census dated 1911 includes a Mr Chivell at 150 or 153 Highgate, Kendal.
I believe there must be family relatives around somewhere.
