[queenswood 1]

Looking for John sinton in 1871- born c 1830 Kent- and i believe he was in the Heston/Brentwood area, possibly with the police force.

Any help really appreciated.

Thank you

Thank you so very much! I was convinced he was in the police force but now I know he was a soldier!

Many thanks indeed

That is just amazing! Thank you so very very much! Yes- he married Jessie Hunt - and was the father of William Sinton who left for canada in 1913 and married in Dorset in 1920- see my other posts.

Fabulous!!!! Now you are doing it for me!!!

They married in Tarrant Rushton, Blandford- because Blandford has an army camp! so that makes sense too.

Here is a curiosity- I have found John and Jessie in 1881 mistranscribed as Linton- living in Branksome Wood Road Christchurch- but he appears to have been buried in 1885 at st Mary, Longfleet, poole- I wonder why? Any ideas?
