Title: Location of 'Pinkes'
Post by: anla on Wednesday 18 July 12 22:28 BST (UK)
Does anyone know which district that this name, 'Pinkes', refers to? It is given as a place of birth for an ancestor of mine. It is listed as, 'Pinkes London' as his place of birth. I have searched the internet with no luck. I noted that it is the name of a Jewish book of records.
He was born in the 1840's, and lived in the St Pancras area.

Hi. I have looked on Ancestry and St Pancras area but can find nothing with this name. If you can supply the name and date of birth of your ancestor I will be happy to search again for you.

Hi

Is that from a transcription or the actual census?

Pimlico would seem worth investigating.

Thanks for the help offered so far.
The name is Richard Samuel Mitchell, born 1843.
He is the second husband of Sarah Allaway.
The name 'Pinkes' is on the transcription and the actual census.

What is the census (RG, folio, page)  reference?

If  RG12; Piece: 130; Folio: 28; Page: 49, then It's pretty obvious it's Pimlico

It looks like Pimlico to me - it's also been given that as an alternative name on Ancestry.

Sorry for delay - I was called away again.
Yes - I have just seen the entry on the 1891 census, where it gives the name 'Prinkes' and 'Pimlico' in brackets.
Thanks to everyone.

In future, quoting the piece and page will enable us to see the original page and make it easier to find and ponder upon.

Definitely PIMLICO. 1901 census confirms this too. Cabman his occupation.  Driving a horse and carriage.
