I was a PENTONY. from London. I believe the name came from Normandy, BUT, was in Co. Meath from 1170. Can anyone relate to this name please. My Gt.Grandparents were in Liverpool. My Grandparents were in London.. Pentony's in Liverpool had a leather shoe factory and also made top hats in 1800s I have been told that Pentony's may have had estates in Co.Meath.... I am descended from: Gerard Francis Ridley Pentony and Anna Isabel nee Campbell Pentony (we lived in Streatham.London) Mum was from over the border, Whitehead. Co.Antrim. My grandparents were Alfred Joseph Pentony and Florence nee Ridley. I am therefore Adele Gerardine nee Pentony. born 1943. Hampton Court.. now resident of New Zealand. So far, traced family (unknown to recently!) in USA. London. (yes even we grew up near each other, we never knew our cousins!!)Australia... Pentony name comes from Normandy, also there is a village in Norfolk. UK Pentney which has something to do with the family. the names have been misspelt over the years... I look forward to hearing from one and all thanks.. (I must be on about 30 rootswebsites throughout the world, as I am researching early settlers to Carterton. New Zealand..where I am now settled!) Many thanks Adele Pentony-Graham http://www.geocities.com/carterton_historical_society
