Most of the family were wiped out by one bomb that destroyed their entire street in Peckham during WW2.

My uncle has been doing some family tree stuff and most of his and fathers side of the family come from Peckham...well that is where they lived during the war. There is irish ancestry in there as well. Apparently one of them was a boxer of some note called Dennington. The house they lived in in Peckham survived the blitz, but was blown up in the making of the film 'Battle of Britain' come years later I was told. Ironic or what.
I wonder if our families ever met/were neighbours?
On my Mum's side the family name is 'Henty' who were two brothers who first took sheep to Australia. They have a statue somewhere in Australia to commemorate them.
Are from here, Graham O? (see pic) Northumberland.Graham O said:Have got a very muddled ancestry. Most of the paternal family have been military connected, so there's been a lot of travel and deaths! The maternal family come from Portsmouth and Hampshire. Personally from Portsmouth, but the surname comes from the Scottish Borders.
No idea if he is a relation, but an Ogle was one of the men who shoved a red hot iron up Edward II's bum to kill him. The Ogle family fell out of royal favour after that!
