Henrietta Susan Faille (née Cunyngham)

Henrietta Susan Faille of Lille, described in the compensation records as the sister of Anthony Cunyngham of the claim, made an apparently unsuccessful counterclaim on Cunynghams estate on St Kitts..

1. An Anthony Cunyngham son of Daniel of Hampton Middlesex matriculated Balliol Oxford in 27/10/1763 aged 17. A death certificate dated 1829 but referring to a death-date of 15/08/1828 posted on a genealogical website shows the death at Lille of an Antoine Cunyngham 'rentier gentilhomme anglais, age de quatre-vingt deux ans ne a Kingston pres de Londres' and identifies him as the son of Daniel Cunyngham and Elizabeth Hodges. This must be the same man as the man matriculating at Balliol. The same site does not, however, identify any Anthony Cunyngham as the son of Anthony Cunyngham (1746-1828). Nevertheless, Henrietta Susan Faille of Lille, described in the compensation records as the sister of Anthony Cunyngham of the claim, made a counterclaim on Cunynghams. She is shown in the same genealogical source as the daughter of Anthony Cunyngham (the latter's birthdate is given as 1764, which is clearly erroneous for 1746). Therefore the Anthony Cunyngham of the claim must have been the son of Anthony Cunyngham (1746-1828), and the cousin of the Pearce Hall sisters (q.v.) who also counterclaimed.
