Posted a message several years ago here. Have since enlarged my database, but still welcome information and queries. My own line comes from Honiton and Ottery St. Mary, with branches in Australia and New Zealand. I am especially seeking info on Pine/Pyne families from Bridestowe and Kentisbeare at the moment. Thanks, Darren

I have a little data on my PINE relatives who originated in Devon and settled in the East End of London in the mid 1800's, did any of your Pines make their way into London.
I have a Frederick John Pyne born abt 1855 Portishead Somerset to Phyliss Blewett in 1877 marriage Registered in Bristol. Children
Frederick John born Morley Yks in 1877 Mary b 1880 London Silvertown Phyllis abt 1883 Battersea London Edward G abt 1886 Battersea Thomas J abt 1889 Battersea Florence A abt 1892 Plumstead
There were a number of Pine families living in the Poplar area of the East End of London from about the mid 1800's to about the 1950's, many of these Pine families had a Mary Pine in each sucessive generation.
You indicated you have a Mary Pine who was born in Silvertown inthe 1800's, Silvertown is a area within the then County Borough of West Ham, now the County Borough of Newham, the name changed was made in the mid 1960's.
Anyhow, Silvertown in the mid 1800's started to grow when the royal group of docks opened in the mid 1800, hence many many factories started to go on line during this time, one of the largest factories was the Tate and Lyle Sugar Company, plus many many ofther manufacturing companies that provided work to the residents of Silvertown and other close by areas.
And would add that Poplar was close to the Silvertown area.
