I found some records on the Seax site. I was able to trace the Wheeler family back a couple of generations (I'd been stuck at 1798 with Sarah Wheeler), and I found some new names relating to that branch of the family: Saitch/Satch/Sach, South, and Hobro. All of these people lived in Messing, Essex in the 18th and 17th centuries.
I tried to find information about Sarah Wheeler's husband, Joseph Winkell (spelled Wincle on their Colchester marriage record of 1818). He was from Kelvedon, according to the 1851 census, but I couldn't find a baptism record of anyone with a similar name. There is a large Wyncoll family in northeast Essex (the same area as my Winkell family), and I think they must be connected somehow. Finding that connection is proving to be next to impossible, though.

Hi My 5x great grandparents were called Sach (pronounced Saitch) and lived in Messing and Layer Marney. Any connections? Karen
Hi Karen,
Without more information, I really don't know if there's a connection. My Saitch line starts with Amy Saitch (1730), then goes back to her father, Edward Sach (1699). Edward was baptized in Fairstead, but Amy was baptized (and married) in Messing. Amy's siblings were Mary (1718), Elizabeth (1722), John (1726), Zaccheus (1733), and James (1736). Are any of those names familiar?
