hello - I am new too
My grandfather was a James Charles Penfold and he married Ellen margaret Tregear.
my mother Nellie Penfold was born in 1914
I have found a family of Penfolds living at Gurlings Yard in the 1901 census
the head of the family was also a James Penfold (dob abt 1861)
he was married to Mary ann Penfold and they had 6 children including James Penfold (dob abt 1887) - I believe this James penfold could be my grandfather
I was always told that the family came from 'gypsies' and i note some references to the travelling devon penfolds.
Any information would be very useful
Many thanks
