Hi, can someone please have a look for a James Pennygar born 1842 Mayfield.

There are so many variations of the surname though from Penegar to Pinnigar etc etc

There is one on another site J Penegar brn 1841 Sussex ,living in Lancashire?

In 1851 he is in Mayfield Sussex.

In 1881 He is in Pembury.

Any help appreciated..................Tim

1861 census, reference RG09, Piece 3144, Folio 80, page 8
Fulwood Barracks, Preston, Lancashire

Penegar, J  Unmarried  M  20  Private 11th Hussars  b Mayfield, Sussex

N.B. Occupation column says "Pte 11 Hrs" - my interpretation is 11th Hussars!

I agree with KGarrad that the one in Lancaster could well be him in 1861

 RG9; Piece: 3144; Folio: 80; Page: 8
Preston
Sub-registration district:   Broughton [Near Preston]
ED, institution, or vessel:   Fulwood Barracks Preston

He is an unmarried soldier (private) born Mayfield, Sussex.
