Hi there
I am researching the Pinder family and have found that Elizabeth Lunn married John Pinder of Shelley Bank, Kirkburton on 26 Jun 1831 at All Hallows, Almondbury.
I have found a christening of an Elizabeth Lunn in the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Linthwaite, Almondbury on 8 May 1808. This gives her father as Benjamin Lunn and her mother as Hannah. Is it likely that this could be the same Elizabeth Lunn?
In the 1851 census, as Elizabeth Pinder, her birthplace is given as Golcar but in other censuses just listed as Yorkshire. I can't find any Elizabeth Lunn born in Golcar around 1808.
The only Benjamin Lunn I can find from this area married Hannah Hewitt, which looked promising, but their children don't seem to include an Elizabeth and they seem to be connected to St Peter's in Huddersfield, so I don't think this can be the correct Benjamin Lunn. In 1841 census there is a Benjamin Lann (Lunn) with wife Hannah living in Almondbury - I suspect this is that same Benjamin rather than the one I'm after, but I don't know.
I then found a Benjamin Lunn married to Hannah Gartside with a child called Lydia christened at Honley in 1816, but no sign of a child called Elizabeth.
There is a Benjamin Lunn baptised on 20 Apr 1784 in Almondbury, All Hallows, Yorkshire with Father called John Lunn, from Crosland. This looks hopeful as the children of John Pinder and Elizabeth Lunn are all born in South Crosland.
I'm a bit confused about all of this! I really want to find the Elizabeth Lunn who married John Pinder and be able to trace that line back. I don't know if Benjamin is her father's name or not, and that's part of the problem.
If anyone can help me to shed any light on this, I'd be most grateful! :)
Kind regards, Joy Smith

Hi
Golcar would have been in the parish of Huddersfield Saint Peter's and it is close to Linthwaite. But to confuse or to clear things up parts of Linthwaite where also in the parish of Huddersfield depending on which side of the river you lived. So could be the same.

Benjamin and Hannah looks strong contenders to me. John and Elizabeth named 2 of their children by these names too.

Hi Joy
My husband is a Pinder ............ did any of your Pinders move to Lincolnshire ? My husbands 4x great grandfather was a Nathaniel Pinder born Aswarby Lincs, c 1793 parents Jonathan Pinder and Ann? Send me a PM if you think there's a link with the families .
Sorry to go slightly off topic,

Thank you to all for the replies. I'll pursue the Benjamin and Elizabeth line!
Regarding the Pinder family, I haven't found any connections to Lincolnshire or any Nathaniels Pinders. Seems that the connection started in West Yorkshire (back to 1780) and then moved not very many miles into Lancashire. Sorry!
Regards
Joy
