Title: Robert Pinkney
Post by: daisylazy on Wednesday 30 December 15 16:37 GMT (UK)
I hav'nt been on here for a very long time. I asked this question in 2008 I think. I am searching for the birth/baptism of my gg grandfather Robert Pinkney, born about 1825 in Tudhoe, Fullwell, Durham...these are the places listed in various census's. On his marriage cert in 1850 to Jane Telford, his father is listed as John, coal miner.
I dont think I will ever find the answer to this so I can move further back in my ancestry.
Regards Doreen Jacques nee Pinkney

You probably already know that Robert shows on the 1841 census but without family.  No 1841 entry for a John Pinkney miner.

Were either of the witnesses on the 1850 marriage cert surname Pinkney?
