< I am interested in the Sarfaty de Pinna family > Unlikely to be the same family, but with a similar sound - I have been trying unsuccessfully to trace a David Levin PINNER. He appears on the 1881 census for Sheffield as David PINNER, aged 81 (and he is NOT the father of Jane MARKS who is erroneously shown as head of household, but may be the step-father of her husband), and on the marriage certificate of his daughter Yetta PINNER to Simon ZOLKI, also in Sheffield, in 1864. I have heard an unconfirmed rumour that he later emigrated to the USA (as did his daughter after she was widowed at an early age) but further information is lacking. If he did, it would have been in extreme old age. All sightings of David (Levin) PINNER, in any country, gratefully received! Beverly Bergman Camberley UK
