Hi, my great grandmother was Edith( edie ) Pinnock married to Thomas William Barnett. They lived at 121 Parkway Rd Eaton.They had three children, Tom, hilda( my grandmother ) & beatrice. We grew up with the story that Edith & a brother were iligitimat, there mother was well up the ranks of house keeping & went to work in France,  it is unclear wether Edith & brother are of french &/or spanish origin. There mother never had to worry about money. Thomas Barnett my greatgrandfather, had a sister Eliza, Thomas fathered a child while still married to Edith, Edith & kids( adults) left him & moved to Torque for a year then came out to new zealand, only then let friends know where they were. I believe Thomas married the mother of his child. I have marriage certs, photos of Thomas & sister, & of Edith, she lived till 94, I was to young to remember her. Hope this helps
