REYNOLDS William 1803 Pertenhall, Bedfordshire

[ednalou]

Hi Listers

I wonder if anyone could help me please. My ancestor William Reynolds born 1803 at Pertenhall, Beds, I have his birth and christening.  On the 1851 census there's a William Reynolds there and the place he was born is Peterhale Huntingdon.  Could someone please tell me whether there is such a place.
 
Also when you look at some other census's his birth is down has 1804/1805, could this still be my William.

It is very difficult for me with me living up north and geography wasn't one of my strong subjects at school.

Thank you very much for your help

Gillian

I do apologise after looking through my replies I find that Pertenhall comes under Huntingdonshire.  The place on the 1851 census is Parkerhale Huntingdon

Hi Listers

After looking through my Bedfordshire site, I have realised that Pertenhall came under Huntingdonshire.

I do apologise.  Also the name of the place was Parkerhale, Bedfordshire.

Hi Gillian,  I reckon on 1851 Parkerhale, Beds is meant to be Pertenhall, as this is where William Reynolds states his birthplace on later censuses. Parkerhale does not exist in Beds or Hunts. & as far as I'm aware Pertenhall IS in Bedfordshire,

regards John.

Hi John

Thank you very much for your reply.  With me living up north you dont know the name of places down south.

Thank you once again
