Chemists/Druggists

[kiwi]

Hi Jane,

The man I have been trying to trace/research a bit more is William Hamilton Ennis Pinching,(b1838), other forums on this board have been really helpful re his family history, it was  his occupational qualifications that I found interesting.  The RPSGB might be able to provide more information on this for me, but it works out fairly expensive when converted to NZ$'s, so I decided it would have to wait till after Christmas and the wallet has recovered!

William was 12yrs on the 1851 census and living with his parents, the next time I find him is here in NZ in 1867 as a chemist.  I thought I might try and narrow the time frame down a bit more before applying to RSPGB.

My brother in law, the dispensing chemist, I remained in touch with , right up to his death last year.  He was a gentle, charming man who was always a pleasure to talk to.

Regards,
