Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Re: Pinder Lookup Please
« on: Wednesday 22 March 06 14:01 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I'm not sure whether he served in WW1 to be honest but I don't think so as ..... he's not on the Absent Voters List for Leeds during the war time period and appears on the Electoral Rolls right up until January 1919 (living with wife Jane Ann at Rosebank Row in Leeds). From 1920 his wife, Jane Ann was shown as living alone at the same address in Rosebank Row right up until 1927 when she remarries a chap called John Milton Evans and they stay at Rosebank Row until 1935.  In 1936 Jane Ann is shown alone at this address and by 1937 neither Jane Ann nor her 2nd husband, John Evans are living at Rosebank Row.

This Louis Ernest Pinder is a real mystery .......

Thanks for looking Ros.  I had actually ordered the "Louie Pinder" age 55 certificate and it was the wrong one because that certificate relates to a female "Louie" who was the wife of a George Frederick Pinder ..... I guess the search goes on!

Can anyone help with a missing death record please?  I am looking for the death of Louis Ernest Pinder.  Louis was born 16 Sep 1876 in Pudsey - son of John Pinder and Louisa Williamson.  Louis lived in Leeds all of his life and married a Jane Ann Greenwood in 1899.  He worked as a carpenter/wood moulder.  I've checked the electoral rolls and he shows up until 1919 but then disappears.  His wife, Jane, remarried in 1927 stating on her remarriage that she was a widow.  Despite repeated attempts with the GRO indexes and Yorkshire BMD I have been unsuccessful in tracking down when Louis Ernest Pinder died.  It must have been between 1919 and 1927. Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Stirlingshire / Leckie Family - Fintry/Balfron/Gargunnock
« on: Monday 07 November 05 08:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

Trying to find information on a John Leckie, a farmer who married Agnes Neilson in either Fintry or Balfron in 1779.  They had at least four children: John b 1780 Balfron, Thomas b. 1781 Balfron, Martha b. 1786 Balfron and William b. 1788 Fintry.  Thomas is my direct line.  Thomas became a doctor in Bonhill and married a Letitia Dyer but I have been unable to find a record of this marriage.  Later information I have on Letitia is that she was of Irish origin.  William went on to become an inn-keeper and married Elizabeth Rennie in 1828 (Kippen or Fintry).  Their grandson, Joseph Alexander Leckie went on to become the Mayor of Walsall and an MP!  Martha married a chap called John Comrie and died in 1867 in Glasgow.

I'm having trouble trying to find John Leckie's parents - I suspect he had a brother called Alexander but I can't be sure.  I don't even have an approximate age for him but I do know that Agnes was born about 1747 (according to the IGI) so would guess he would be born around the mid-1740's.

Can anyone help?

Hi

Janet Menzies was married to John Leckie a grocer originally from Gargunnock and who settled in Lennoxtown.  John died in 1855 and Janet in 1854 aged 84.  Their daughter Janet died aged 78 in November 1881. All three are buried in Lennoxtown.  Their son William became a farmer in Gooseholm and married Marjory Stevenson in 1840 in Dumbarton.  They had 8 children, all of whom were born in Dumbarton.

John's parents were Alexander Leckie and Helen Keir who married in Balfron 5/12/1767.  If you have any information on Alexander and who his parents & siblings were, I'd love to hear from you.
