Not Brentford
Brentford Dynasties - Neville
Introduction
The Neville family moved to Brentford from Buckinghamshire about 1810 and about 3 generations lived in Brentford until the 20th century. They were in trades of market gardening, coopering and tailoring. Towards the end of the 19th century a few of them including my great grandfather Fred Neville became teachers in Brentford and Ealing. Fred Neville retired to Whitstable, Kent along with his brothers and sisters, Joseph, Amy and Augusta. Fred built his own cottage in Whitstable which is still there I believe.Family Tree
