I have a document about my great, great, great grandparents who died in the early 1800s and lived in Tinwald and London. It reads:
Transcript of Inscription on back of old oil painting by Maria Mundell

This picture is of Alexander Mundell, husband of Susanna Champneys. The only surviving son of his family who came to this country (England) from Normandy with William I. He had seven sons but near a grandson of his name to carry it on, and six daughters. Exceptance one all lived to Mans Estate. Tinwald near Dumfries was the Estate. He was born 3rd Feb 1768 and died March 19 1837. Susanna Champneys, 2nd daughter of Bradmill, Herts, of the family of Champneys of Orcharley, Somersetshire, married to Alex.

On the back of the stone she had all her Brothers and Sisters names inscribed.

I would be glad to hear from anyone who is a descendant of one of this family as I have a photograph showing Dr Champneys daughter dated about 1860 and would like to share knowledge
