Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Re: Daniel Pinching marriage date?

Yes. but no. Horiato had a Daniel that went to jersey. That Dan (Sr) on jersey had a Dan (Jr & my Grandfather)  After Eleanor's passing on Jersey, Dan Sr. left Dan Jr with Eleanor's Sister on jersey and went back to England I believe. Dan Jr. was raised on jersey, enlisted in  WWI and immigrated to the US in 1922. Dan sr followed later and lived for a time with my young Mother and grandfather in washington D.C.. Dan Sr did remarry and had a daughter named 'Gladis' to which we found out about after she died unmarried and recieved a small inheritance from.
As far as I know Dan Jr my Grandfather never entered Canada as I have his English passport.

I am only finding out more about Dan and the Pinchings just lately. I have not reached out to enigma47. So my grandfather's uncle is brother to Dan W.P. Pinching Sr? I know that dan jrs mom was Eleanor Selena brooks and passed when Dan was young. His Father left for the States and dan Jr was raised by Eleanor's sister Tot (Aunt Tot) at 66 King st in jersey. I have letters from the family to Dan from during german occupation of how hard it was. I find that the brooks and pinchings were stationers as I have old photos of a seaplane delivering the  first newspapers from England to a boat in St. Helier and then to their shop. Dan was a Motorcycle Machine Gunner in the BlackWatch in WWI
I have looked at some of the older posts as where there was a Doctor Pinching also.
I guess this would make us distant relatives. Are you located in New Zealand? Great Britain? The States?  Dan and Thelma were married on Nov. 23, 1924. I have their wedding Photo. I also have his mother and fathers (Dans Sr and Eleanor's) hand written marriage license.
I really appreciate the reply kiwi
