Sorry I am not helping with your actual question: but if you'd like to know there is a web site for Lockton and Levisham--perhaps if others haven't helped you then try this web site. _www.locktonlevisham.co.uk_ (http://www.locktonlevisham.co.uk) Margaret L.

On the 1851 census his birth place is listed as "Leason". Could this be a pronunciation of Levisham? (You can tell I'm not from Yorkshire!). I've found the following record on the IGI: GAWAN PINKNEY Pedigree Male Event(s): Birth: Christening: 27 SEP 1813 Levisham, Yorkshire, England Death: Burial: Parents: Father: JOSEPH PINKNEY Family Mother: ANN Messages: **************Start the year off right.
