pontings of kensington london
« on: Thursday 19 February 09 16:03 GMT (UK) »
Has anyone got any information of Pontings department store of kensington.
I know it was run by Jane Ponting and her sons Sidney, Thomas, William, and Tom, I would like to know more  as I have a John Albert ponting born 1840/42 from Calne, wiltshire in my family tree, and I wondered if there is a connection.

The Kensington Pontings came from Berkeley in Gloucestershire
