Penfold in Plaxtol, Kent

[robbyd]

Hi l wonder if someone would be kind enough to look up the following for me?.

John PENFOLD c1836 Kent  Hawker
Trinity PENFOLD c1835 ?      Flower seller/hawker

In September 1861 John & Trinity had a son John who was born in Plaxtol so they should be there at time of Census.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi

Is this following on from the PENFOLD family in your other posts?

Are you looking for a PENFOLD child born before or after the 1861 census

Hi Casalguidi,

I`m trying to find out the birth place of John & Trinity, l know that there son John was born September 1861 in Plaxtol but all l know of John & Trinity is that they were both born in Kent.

I have found a lot of infp at a site called "passing through" but nothing on John Snr & Trinity.

Regards
Robert

Hi Robert

Did you manage to confirm (by certificates or otherwise) that your Emily PENFOLD (married Frederick FARRELL) was the one born to Robert & Mary?  I was a bit concerned that the one found in 1901 and 1891 was born quite a bit earlier than the one you were originally looking for.

Was John born Plaxtol the one known as Robert and who married Mary SAUNDERS?

There is this family in 1861:

1861 census

Hampton Wick (Annual Fair), Middlesex

Robert PENFOLD head mar 48 hawker b.Canterbury Kent
Phillis wife 45 b.Sussex
John son married 21 b.Hadley Essex

Henry son 7 b.Surrey or Sussex

Hi, Robert

My husband's great grandmother was a Penfold - she came from a long line of travellers, which throws up a few problems when trying to anchor them down! 
I have found lots of Penfolds around the country, but as yet haven't linked them to the family I know for sure is ours.
This is the info from the 1901 census;

William Penfold     M       28      Travelling Pedlar
Bessie Penfold      M       24      Travelling Pedlar
John Penfold       son        4   
Thomas Penfold  son         1 
Christopher Penfold  son   3mths

Living at 27 Calenick Street    Kenwyn District, Truro, Cornwall.

I know that they went on to have 10 more children!  One of them was Sophie, born 1902.

Do you think there may be a link with your Penfolds?
Best regards,
Frosty

Hi Frosty,

Thanks for your message, l know what you mean when you mention the problems one encounters when trying to track down travellers.

At first glance l cannot see a connection, all my Penfolds originate in the Kent & Surrey area's.

Have you tried the Romany site ?, there's lots of info there.

Best Wishes & Good Luck.

Robert

Thanks, Robert
 
Have not checked out the Romany site yet - do you know the address?  Will do that.
 Regards,

Hi again Frosty,

I don't know the exact address but the site is called " passing through" put that in to Google and you should get several hits.

Hope it helps.
