Here's what I know, for what it's worth. The Gingles surname is Northern Irish (Ulster, especially County Antrim), probably from the hybrid name Mac Inglis (Gaelic and English), meaning ‘son of the English speaker’, from the Scottish Inglis or Ingles. There is a surname spelt Gingell, from the county of Wiltshire in the west country of England, that may be related to the Gingles. They are doing a family tree and want Gingles to be included, so check out their web site at http://www.gingell.com/familytree/welcome.asp.
Good hunting!
Thanks for the information, Cyndi! I can start doing a little more digging now. I've been registered on the Gingell website for some time but it's been an uphill battle trying to figure out family ties there. Isn't geneology fun!
