My father's side of the family was originally called Ezechiel but I can't find any reference to anyone of that name (with that spelling), save a James Ezechiel and family in the 1901 Census. Has anyone else seen that name anywhere - in censuses or anything??!!! Many thanks Peter

Ezechiel was the prophet in the bible and is more commonly a first or middle name.Have you tried the surname lists to see if some one is researching this one?

On the 1891 census I have found a Gertrude Ezechiel living in Willesden, Middlesex. Born in India. Jeannie

Sorry, a correction to my last message, Gertrude Ezechiel was a pupil at a school in Crown Hill Road, it is hard to read but looks like a convent and boarding school. Could your family have been in India during the 19th Century. Jeannie

Peter.. the Biblical spelling is Ezekiel so you could perhaps try that version? Beryl Darlington DUR

They were in India in the latter part of the last century...many thanks for all my replies - any other Ezechiels gratefully received!

I've had a look on the 2000 Electoral Register and their are only 3 in the whole of the UK. Will send you the names if you like. Regards Nesta
