Have you looked in other members trees (look under "search" near the top of the screen and pick off "search all member trees")

It's unlikely that you will find someone who may just "know" your family. Start with your parents and try to work backwards from them looking at marriage records and then birth records until you get back to 1911 when you can look for people in your family on the 1911 census.

If you need any help give us some first names and approximate years of birth and area that they come from.

There are at least 300 names in "search all member trees" for both surnames.

There are a few other people on Genes with the same names as you in their trees. You can contact them directly if you use the "search" button.

No-one will ‘know’ of these people if not connected.

Have you tried to do any research?

You seem to have in your GR tree a lot of people named Tunwell with very recent birth years - you must be in touch with them to have obtained their permission
