Hi portholemike 

I had a look in the Kinson baptisms on the Dorset Online Parish Clerk site (http://www.opcdorset.org/KinsonFiles/KinsonBaps.htm) but couldn't see any PENFOLDs. 

Where did you get your ggggrandfather's birth information from? 

Cheers
Prue

Hi,

I wonder if his birthplace was Kingston (near Corfe Castle) or Kington Magna and not Kinson?

I was investigating a  family rumour about a place called Kingston- it turned out that my folks lived at Kingston near Hazlebury Bryan.
As you mentioned Pimperne, would it be worth trying Winterborne Kingston, Kingston Lacey or even Tarrant Keyneston, as these are all nearer to Pimperne. There was also a Kingston Farm near Kingston Maurward on the way to Dorchester.

I went looking for John and Charlotte in 1851 (thinking it might help confirm the birthplace) but didn't find them, although I noticed that in 1861 they were living in a caravan, so perhaps if they were travellers they managed to 'skip' the census that year.
