Edith Pinnock

[acftus]

I'm trying to track down my Grandfather's sister who, according to the 1881 Census was born circa 1875 in Kilburn, London.

There appears to be nothing in the BMD listings nor through Ancestry.com.

Are there any other ways to search please?

Many thanks

1891 shows Edith was born in Ireland , mother Mary Ann by then was a widow

Interesting.   It wasn't actually compulsory to register births until the mid 1870s so she may have just slipped through the net.  Her mother is shown as unmarried too so maybe she did not want to register the birth for that reason.  Does father William appear on later census?

Edith appears to marry Thomas William Barnett 7 Apr 1894 at St Michael & All Saints Bedford Park, the same church as William in 1906 and same home address 5 Chapel Place. Edith names her father as 'George' though.

Place of birth in 1901 census is back to Kilburn.

In fact she is shown on her marriage certificate as aged 19 and her father as a George Pinnock.

However her brother William born in 1880, his father is shown as William John. His birth certificate shows no father!!

Their mother, Mary Ann was shown in the 1881 Census as unmarried, but in the 1891 Census as widowed.

So there's the problem!!

Thanks so far

Thanks Dawn

Must admit that I did not see the baptism record.

Somewhere else to check.

Thanks
