Hi Nicky

Thanks for that info.  I have traced the family back to the late 1700's.  It's quite a story!!  I'm sure that's the reason not many of us are searching for the family!!!!

William's father John Jenkinson, was mayor of East Retford 1880 and was a silversmith, and stockbroker.  He left Retford in 1884 with a bancruptcy order following him!  Left his wife to deal with things, whilst he set up shop in Chicago (he took with him £50,000!) sending for Frederick Shelley and Annie C Thompson, (his wife drowned/committed suicide in the River Trent at Newark) who he married in Chicago!

I know that William Edward Boon Jenkinson visited his father around 1902/03 (he'd been naughty again and was up for libel and assult!!!) as I have a newspaper article.

John's brother Edward Bennett Jenkinson lived in Swinton in Rotheram and was a photographer and bone collector!  He found the remains of a woolly mammoth!

Hi,  I have researched this family for over 30 years! Charlotte Emily Jenkinson nee Taylor was by Great Great Aunt - she did remarry after William died. Extremely interesting family. Regards Marian goater nee Taylor

Hi goatermc

Welcome to Rootschat 

suziet hasn't been online here since 2014 but has also switched off notifications for this topic.

So I'll send her a personal message and hopefully she will come back soon.

Hi Marion

Old topics never get deleted and family contacts are made here over and over again, sometimes 10 or more years have passed.

It's a shame when we find out that email addresses have changed and contact can't be made.

Fingers crossed.

Hi,
I also have Jenkinson in my family, my grandmother was Constance Mary Jenkinson daughter of William and Charlotte.   I have information that I obtained over 10 years ago and have recently revisited this side of my family.  As you mention a very interesting family.  Would you be prepared to share your research.  Verity
