You're on a roll, suffolksue!  It has to be the same family, doesn't it?  Even if they can't remember where they were born!

I can't find any sign of them in the 1861 - an extended honeymoon abroad, maybe?

Just to complicate things further, the only birth for a Charles Penfold/Pinfold in 1860 that I can find is this one:

Charles Williams Pinfold, Dec qr 1840, Worcester(!), 18 - 522.

Well Monica, do you think they might have had a distrust of ennumerators, when they came round.

Or terribly bad memories!

I found this family in the 1851 but it seemed too ridiculous - just how mobile was this family? - but then I found them again in the 1861 in Battersea so they could be Charles parents!

Anyway, here they are -

1851 - HO107, piece 1659, folio 389, p 8.
Landport, Portsea, Hampshire.

All Pinfold.
Charles, Head, M, 35/55?, Carpenter, b. Middleton Cheney, Northants.
Sarah, Wife, M, 28, b. Chichester, Sussex.
Wiliam, Son, 7, Scholar, b. Worcester.
Charles, Son, 10, Scholar, b.Southampton.
Sarah, Daughter, 9, Scholar, b. Landport.
Samuel, Son, 3mth, b. Landport.

I wonder if William and Charles birthplaces have been mixed up?  They have been written down out of age order.



1861 - RG9, piece 370, folio 209, p 35.
George Street, Battersea, Surrey.

Charles Pinfold, Head, M, 46, Carpenter, b. Northampton.
Sarah Pinfold, Wife, M, 40, b. Sussex.
William Pinfold, Son, S, 18, Carpenter, b. Southampton.
Samuel Pinfold, Son, 11, b. Portsmouth.
Anne Pinfold, Daughter, 10, b. Portsmouth.
Lucy Pinfold, Daughter, 5, b. Portsmouth.
Sarah Griffin, Grand-daughter, 3mths, b.Brighton.

What do you think?

Monica

Added - I see you beat me too it, Sue.  At least I don't feel as if I'm going mad, now!

No wonder young Charlie didn't seem to know where he was born, they didn't seem to stay on one place for long.
