Hi Meaney,

The Thomas Jenkinson Holinshead son of Dorothy is from Family Search Vital Records and was extracted from the parish records of Penkridge.  I had a check of the IGI and there is a Thomas Hollinshead christened at Middlewich 09/12/1781 to George and Hannah Hollinshead which was also extracted from the local records is this your Thomas Jenkinson Hollinshead?  I have Hollinshead ancestors who were living at Penkridge in the mid-18th century and suspect Dorothy might be an illegitimate daughter of one of my 5x great-grandfather's sisters, Elizabeth.
