English as far back as we can trace.
But the family rumour is we are originally German, hence the name Enkel, but so far no trace over a 100 years back.
Found references to our family having been wealthy in the past, owning a large parcel of land in London which is why there is a street and pub named after us, just off Seven Sister road.
The Enkel arms, used to have our coat of arms, stands on the corner of Seven Sisters Road and Enkel St. Had a pint there many years ago .
One curious history bit, there was an Enkel with my first name back in the 1700s who was a cutler in London.
At the time this was discovered I used to make surgical instruments, which of course were originally made by cutlers!!
We got about a bit, there is an Enkel Fireman in Canada, Enkels owned a shop there, and we put our stamp on Australia too something to do with pineapples IIRC.
