*COMPLETED*-Annie PINNELL post 1891

[Atalanta]

Dear Kanskar,
I have a photograph of the wedding of Ivo and Annie. There are about 10 family members in the photo, but aside from Annie and Ivo, we're not sure who's who in the picture. Maybe your wife's great-great grandmother is one of them. I'd like to share the photo with you, but I can't seem to be able to attach images to my posts. Probably because I am new to rootschat?

Maybe you can help me with this question: Annie had a brother called James, and three sisters: Martha, Jane and ... ? Do you know the name of the third sister?

Atalanta - I do know the name of her third sister and also her fourth sister

They were Alice Maude (b 1873) & Gertrude Florence (b 1876)

Alice Maude married Patrick McDonagh in 1894 and Gertrude married Thomas Rowden in London in 1898.

I know you cannot send Private Messages until you have posted more than 3 times, so perhaps that applies to attachments as well.  If you still have a problem, may I suggest you post a query in the Technical or Common Room asking for assistance.

I look forward to seeing the photo of Ivo & Annie's wedding.

Dear Atalanta and Kanskar
I read your correspondence regarding Annie van den Driessche (nee' Pinnell) with interest. I am a family and local history volunteer researcher at the Vale and Downland Museum Wantage Oxon and am at the moment interested in researching events in Wantage during the Great War 1914-1918 for an exhibition next year. During WW1 there were approx 50 Belgian Refugees staying in the Wantage Drill Hall in Springfield Road. The managers of the 'refugee centre' were Annie and Ivo.Annie was also the Superintendent of the women munitions workers at Wantage Engineering Ltd where some of the Belgians worked. There is a photo of the munitions workers with I believe possibly Annie in the centre. I have several questions that you maybe able to help with:

There were Pinnells at Charlton near Wantage at Parsonage Farm. Any relations to Annie?
Are there any family stories of Annie and Ivo's time at Wantage?
I am also looking for the names of any of the other Belgians who were in Wantage at the same time. Can you help?
Thank you
Trevor

Trevor - I've only just seen your reply.

I cannot answer the questions regarding the Belgians and Annie's time at Wantage, but may be able to help on the Pinnells at Charlton if you can let me know who they were please.

Thanks Kanskar
