Still looking for any further information on the following family:
James PINKERTON born Combe, Presteigne l8l4 - baptised Weobley
Susannah PINKERTON born Combe, Presteigne l8l9 - baptised Weobley
Both given as children of Elizabeth PINKERTON of Presteigne - only -(Obviously the
vicar at Weobley was very understanding!! Not once, but twice!! - unless this
would have been the nearest church?)
Has anyone else come across this family? On Susannah's mar. cert. it says her
father was a gardener - but no name! Could there possibly have been a large house
in Combe? Perhaps Elizabeth went there to work in service? There does not appear
to be any other local reference to this name, I gather! On various documents the
name changes from PINGINTON, to PILKINGTON to PINKERTON to PINKINGTON- so don't
think I stand much chance of getting much further on this line...unless someone
else out there knows something I don't!! Would love to hear from you if you do!!
Susannah PINKINGTON married Charles PRICE (b. Dilwyn l8l9) in Weobley on lst July
l84l. Charles was the son of Stephen PRICE, wheelwright master, b. Llanstephan
Radnor about l792 and his wife Mary (b. TOMKINS) b. Dilwyn l792, daughter of
Joseph and Mary TOMKINS (CRESSWELL).
Any information on anything above will be gratefully acknowledged...even
information on Comb(e) Marsh itself! I visited Weobley earlier this year - what a
treasure!
