Is anyone working on any of the following? John PENNINGTON married Margaret DEWAR in Edinburgh in 1845. Their children were: Margaret - 1851 George - 1856 John Lorimer - 1858 (married an Agnes) Alexander McAndrew - 1861 Henry Arthur - 1863 Henry Arthur PENNINGTON married Jessie McQueen ROSS in Edinburgh in 1889. Their known children were: Joseph - abt 1893 Twins - Henry Arthur and James Ross Lawrance, born 7 August 1895. James married Mary WHITE about 1929, probably in Detroit, Michigan. On the 1930 census, Henry was living with them in Detroit. James and Mary had no children. James died in 1984, Mary in 1988 (age 97), both in Michigan. I have much information on Mary WHITE and her siblings and their families (which included my Godparents) and would like to learn more about the Penningtons. I am quite willing to share what I have. Thanks, Irene, in Michigan

Hello Irene I have no connections with any of your families, but you should be able to find out quite a lot about the Penningtons by using the Scotlands People website. It is a pay site, but PENNINGTON is a fairly uncommon name in Scotland, so you should be able to find out quite a lot without spending too much money. For example, the marriage index has a George PENNINGTON marrying an Annie WOOD in Edinburgh in 1877. There is also a John PENNINGTON marrying a Jane SMITH in Edinburgh in 1878. The images of both marriage entries may be downloaded on the site (this may not be your John if he married an 'Agnes'). The birth index includes the birth of a Jessie McQueen Ross PENNINGTON in Edinburgh in 1902. The image of the entry is available to download. And the death index has the death of Henry Arthur PENNINGTON aged 71 in Edinburgh in 1935. The image is available to download. Henry Arthur PENNINGTON junior died in Edinburgh in 1974 aged 79. The image is not available for privacy reasons, and you would need to order the certificate from the General Register Office for Scotland. I only looked for these few. There are probably many more to be found on the BMD indexes.
