| There are many references to Vindens and Vindins in the London area, and some had no doubt moved into the capital from other areas. Tracing families in London is difficult, but I have had some success with three families so far |
| The Vindin Family of Kensington, Australia, and Canada |
| This large family descends from John Vindin (1751-1823), a baker of Brompton Row, Kensington. John's daughter-in-law and some of his grandchildren migrated to Australia during the 1850s, and have many descendants there. These are discussed on the Australia page. One of John's grandsons migrated to Canada. |
| The Vindon Family of Hammersmith, Westminster, and Marylebone |
| Joseph Finden (c1750-1823) of Dogmersfield Hampshire married Jane Lunn in 1790 and Hannah Culver in 1807. Both marriages took place at Crondall Hampshire. Joseph and Hannah's son John Vindon (1808-1871) married Mary Ann Taylor at Fulham in 1830. They lived in the Hammersmith, Westminster, and Marylebone areas, and in 1851 were living at 5 Green Coat Cottages, Westminster. Their children included Charles Thomas, James, Mary Ann, Charlotte, and several others who died in infancy. Charles Thomas (c1832-1914) was a policeman. James (c1837-1907) migrated to Australia. |
| The Vinden Family of Lambeth and Battersea |
| This
family descends from John Vinden (c1819-1887), a plasterer, and
his wife Jane, who lived in the Lambeth and Battersea areas of
Surrey (now South London). They used the surname Cooper in census
returns, though their marriage and their deaths were registered
in the name Vinden. John and Jane's children included Jane, John
Hatton, Julia, and Helen. John Hatton Vinden (1851-1915) married
Mary Higginbottom in 1873 at St Mary, Lambeth, Surrey, and had
at least nine children. By 1881 they were living in Battersea.
John Hatton Vinden's son James Johnson Hatton Vinden had migrated
to Australia by 1913.
