Gins and Chris did you read my post at all? :-)

I posted the 1841 per Ancestry:


however in 1841 they appear in Cardington at Ancestry as
Thomas Rackin 67
Sarah Rackin 60
Peter Rackin 9
aha, recently corrected (i.e. the name has been corrected to Parkins this week)


and I posted the 1851 in Cardington (a lot more concisely !!)

Thomas Parkin 77
Ann Parkin 72
Peter Parkin 18
Mary Sannan 50

and noted the Sarah/Ann name difference

I think Sarah/Ann was somebody known by both names, possibly Sarah Ann whose mother was Sarah, that sort of thing ... she appears to be the same person throughout


and also I posted what are surely baptisms to the grandparents in Westoning, Sarah 1802, Denbigh 1806 and Elizabeth 1808, Westoning being the place of birth of Thomas and his wife in the 1851 census, and the son born in 1805 called Denbigh is in Cardington in the censuses

there could have been later children born in Cardington such as the Anne Parkyns 1814 whose baptism (sorry, burial) Chris posted, in fact since she died in 1834 she would be a good candidate for being Peter Parkins's mother

edit - yes, freereg has this 1811 baptism that is most likely to the same Thomas and Sarah/Ann

County Bedfordshire
Place Cardington
Church St. Mary
BaptismDate 16 Jun 1811
Forename Mary
FatherForename Thos
MotherForename Ann
FatherSurname PERKINS
FileNumber 15635

the same baptism at familysearch, batch P00346-1:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NPV6-DHD


and I posted the 1851 census for a Peter Covington aged 38 cordwainer (shoemaker) born in Cardington ... who could be the father of Peter Parkins ... or ... Peter Parkins's father could have died before 1841

(I don't understand how the name Ekins comes into it here - Curbington or Curlington as it is transcribed at familysearch is that child's middle name, surname Ekins, the birth was in a different bit of Bedfordshire and the baptism was in Northamptonshire ... the mother seems to have been Elizabeth Crick:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JQBT-V3T )


Chrissey did you have any thoughts about that Peter Covington or the baptisms of children of Thomas and Sarah/Ann ?


I think it is quite likely that Peter Covington c1813 shoemaker is the father of Peter Parkins, and Ann Parkyns 1814 who died in 1834 as Chris found is his mother


note: in batch P00346-1 at familysearch
the oldest Peter Covington posted by Chris is shown as Coventon in some of his baptisms e.g. Elizabeth 1778
and his son Peter is shown as Covington for 1775 baptism

but no baptism for the Peter born c1813 is showing up

by the way the John Parkins that Chris found marrying Sarah Markram

Ann could be for his mother ... or his grandmother, unfortunately it could be either one

might be worth buying this cd

Looks liked it escaped me JoonieC, lol, thought I'd post FMP one, then Gins could transfer PFP numbers in Ancestry, but curiosity made me do it myself, like to make things easy for her, she knows me well!, all helps in the end, lol.

And looks llike chrissey will be busy!.

Chris :)

Yes I read your post Joonie but I couldn't see the data, only the names of the people on the census

Maybe I missed it

sorry Gins, don't know about data ... Chrissey already had the census info, she just hadn't given it to us so I posted the basics we needed, names plus ages and places ... I never think we need every line of info copied all double-spaced with all the things about parish maps and such :-)

Hi All

Thank you very very much, it looks like it is Anne and Peter Covington, which could be misheard/changed over the years.
I will check the actual record for Anne's birth and death to see if there is any other information with it that will confirm the info.
I was aware of the census records but have found if my info is wrong, I am leading you all on a false trail so give only the info I know for sure

Thanks once again

Regards Chrissey
