This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Hinds Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EKj.2ACIB/320 Message Board Post: Does anyone have a lead on a James Hinds. I have traced him as one of my G-G-G Grandfathers. He was the father of Elizabeth Ardern, who was born in about 1837 at Ashton-U-Lyne, Lancashire, England. Elizabeth married in 1859 and at the time was resident at Bosden, Stockport, Cheshire. James Hinds is shown as her father, occupation bricklayer. I cannot find any trace of this man in the registers or the census. Would be glad to hear from anyone with a connection. David Hyde
This is off-subject but is something about which I've wondered for some time. Has anyone ever absolutely, positively pinned-down just where the "Hind" name originated? Was it English, Scottish, or Irish? There seem to be a lot of conflicting opinions. - Jim Hinds Columbus, Indiana --- dahyde@ukonline.co.uk wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Hinds > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EKj.2ACIB/320 > > Message Board Post: > > Does anyone have a lead on a James Hinds.
