I am trying to find a birthdate and birthplace of my great grandmother who was born in England c1833-1834.
Her name was Agnes Monkouse. Her parents were James Pinnock and Barbara Monkhouse. James Pinnock was in the British Army from January 1832 to December 1834 and then reenlisted October 1838 at Bath,under the name Monkhouse. James Pinnock joined the 75th foot regiment at Bristol January 1832,and have been told when he was discharged it was from the army December 1834 at Plymouth.
When he enlisted at Bath,October 1838, joined the 21st regiment.
Agnes and her brother James both took the name Monkhouse,but whether they were baptised under that name I do not know.
Her brother James was born at Stapleton Rd.Bristol,but from the Archdeaconry of Bristol records their is no baptismal record of Agnes.
James Monkhouse snr.his wife Barbara and children James and Agnes went to India September 1839. James snr.died in India 1849.
Agnes married Robert Currey in India 1859 and they came to Australia 1862. She died Queensland,Australia, May 1916.
I would be truly grateful if somebody knows of Agnes'birthdate and birthplace.
Neville Anderson,
