Look-Up Please. William Pinkerton of Warrington

[dorie]

I have a William Pinkerton on Scottish census records after 1871 and he has his birthplace down on most as Lancashire and on one he has birthplace down as Warrington, is their anyone who would kindly do a look up for me to find if there is a birth recorded for him. He was born around 1844 and his parents were James Pinkerton and Margaret Pinkerton m.s. Rigby. He was married in 1866 in Scotland so I don't know when he came to live here. I tried looking on the 1837 site at the 1861 census returns but couldn't find an entry for him.  I would also like to find out when his parents married or if there was any brothers or sisters of William. Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi,

Baptism of William Pinkerton son of  James and Margaret recorded in Farnworth (Prescot) Lancashire BT`s on 6th March, 1844

Also Baptism of Francis James Pinkerton son of James and Margaret recorded in Warrington BT`s 25th December, 1842.

William`s birth is on the GRO index for Prescot March Qtr. 1844 Reference Vol.20 Page 762.


I can`t find them on the 1851 census.

Hi Dorie,

The incomplete GRO index is available to search on freebmd.rootsweb.com .  It is also available free to view on www.ancestry.co.uk  - go to England & Wales, BMD index (Beta).  You can also search and view the GRO images. 

The BT`s (Bishops Transcripts) are taken from the British Vital Records Index available from the Latter day Saints. 

Regards,
Mo
