Date for a PRINGLE

[jim1]

I can't see anything wrong in this given their ages & the dates of the photos.

I like your thinking, Jim. That would fit closer than Ann...can't see a sixtyish woman in that photo. Good job.

I'm sorry for all the rotten things I've said about you

Yes - I came round to that conclusion about the Jane/Ann over dinner -

However, Eleanor b. Dec q 1850 - she was younger than 20 in that photo - so it's either not her or it's earlier,  as China and I thought in the early hours.


Could it be another one of Elizabeth?

added -  Joseph Raine, aged 30, b. Reeth, was in Richmond on the 1871 as a photgraphic artist. In 1861, he was with his widowed mother in Reeth, as a carpenter!

It could be another one of Elizabeth but I suppose we'll never know.

China and Jim,I am so glad your relationship is back on track,should I buy a hat

[chinakay]

It won't last, George. Jim can't behave himself long enough

Some info on the father.

He served in the Coldstream Guards for 21 years spending 4 years of that time in Canada.In 1836 he was promoted to corporal and in 1841 to sergeant.

In 1852 he expressed a wish to volunteer for the North Yorkshire Rifle Regiment of Militia and was granted a discharge from the Colstream Guards in 1854.His intended place of residence was Richmond.

He served in the North Yorks Militia until 1879 and was granted a discharge aged almost 70 due to age and infirmity.He was granted a state pension due to his service in the Coldstream Guards and was a pay master sergeant at the time of his discharge.


Should a related Pringle happen across this thread,do get in touch,I will be only too happy to forward all the relevent documents.

Hi George

Just a small point but important if you are going to go further with this family.

I think that I said on one of  the census listings that Kyloe and Holy island (amongst other parishes) were part of Co. Durham until 1844, so you won't find a baptism for him by looking in Northumberland.

Images of the original Bishops Transcripts for Holy Island are here:

Obviously, they're not indexed but you can have hours of fun flicking through them

PS - the more I look at those two photos, side by side, the more I'm convinced that they are both of the same girl - probably Elizabeth
