Whatever happened to Ann and John

[doric]

Hi,

Don't know if this helps, but when I read your posting the name jumped out at me as I had a friend with the surname Pinkney way back in the 1950's.  She lived in Pelton near Chester-le-Street and often talked of going to Tudhoe.  On checking our local telephone directory, a couple of dozen 'Pinkney's' show up particularly in and around Tudhoe.  If you would like me to pass these on to you I would be more than happy.

                         Kind regards,

                                 Doric

Small world isn't it?    I had relatives in Pelton. What was your friend's name?

Hi again,

My friend's name was Ann Pinkney and I worked with her for a long while at the Northern General Transport Co.  in Chester-le-Street. When I left there we kept in touch for a while and after I married lwe seemed to lose touch.

The name doesn't ring a bell but if she's related to the Pinkney's from Tudhoe then we almost certainly have a connection somewhere.  They mostly seem to be all connected if you go back far enough.

If as you say, the Pinkneys of Tudhoe seem to be connected if you go back far enough, then I wish I could find the connection with my g g grandfather Robert Pinkney. He is stated as being born at Tudhoe on the census's and on his marriage certificate in 1851, his father is John. I have been puzzling over this one for some years now
