Presumably they would they have had to have the Banns read a second time? She heavily pregnant, why do a runner from Margate. One might think that her father objected to her marriage and that she was under 21, but her age at death in 1804 seems to indicate a birth year c1773, which would have made her of age in 1795. Their first two sons were to become a blacksmith and whitesmith respectively, so one might think that John Pinyoun practised a similar trade. Why therefore was he in two coastal towns each in equal and almost opposite directions from his home town of Telscombe, Sussex. I can't fathom this one out yet!!

The Romsey couple have a son Robert baptised on the 24th Jan 1796, a month after their marriage. They then disappear

Hello,
John Pinyoun (Pynion), married Sarah Stevens, in Romsey, Hants., on the 14th Dec1795. need to know whether the register entry gives his original parish residence other than it being Romsey.
Can anyone help please.

Yes, that is John's second marriage, in fact he did marry a third time to a Sarah Baldwin (1866)before dying in Lincolnshire in 1877. You are right as well, about his father William marrying Margaret Hogg.
Mary Ann and Dinah were two of John's children and hence Margaret's grandchildren. I think that William Vinter must also have been a soldier, but I have no evidence for that other than other than his marriage in Portsmouth (a garrison town), and the birth of his children in Limerick co. Cork, and Dublin. Also, John states when he marries for the third time, that his father William was a pensioner, and I take that to mean that he was a Chelsea Pensioner. He can't have served for a great many years as he was in the Army and married in 1804 and out of the Army by 1815 when his son Robert was born in Coningsby, Lincs. and his last child Ann was born in Belchford, Lincs in 1818, and he dies in Dec 1819, in Belchford. Age given as 40, but I suspect he might have been a little older. Can't find baptisms in Limerick for John and his brother Thomas (1812 and 1810), on Army baptisms list. John was in the Royal Artillery, but William could have been in any regiment. His wife Margaret's father Thomas Hogg was in the 55th Regiment of Foot. Thomas Hogg had a long (distinguished?) Army career, with service in the American War of Independence and the West Indies.  Cheers Ciderdrinker, have one on me!
