I'm Linda Irwin from North Somerset. The PENFOLDs aren't in my direct line, but I'm researching the family of George PENFOLD b.1895 Petworth, Sussex who married Edith Alice BUDD b.1899 Fittleworth, Sussex - Edith was my grandmother's sister. George's family goes back to Thomas PENNIFOLD b.1675 Crawley who married Jane HOGGE in Ifield in 1699. The family spread through Worth and Warbleton with George's line settling in Petworth around 1810. Each generation included at least one male with the forename of Standing, a tradition which continues today. The family includes two brothers who were both Workhouse Masters - John Standing PENFOLD who was Master of Petworth Workhouse in 1840, and William PENFOLD, Master of Easebourne (Midhurst) Workhouse before 1832. William was also the superintendent aboard the Lord Melville which carried emigrants to Canada as part of the Petworth Emigration Scheme. I believe his family remained in Canada as his son Standing George PENFOLD married in Lockport City in 1846. John Standing PENFOLD's son Bryan was a warder at the prison in Gillingham, Kent in 1881, and his nephew Standing Joseph PENFOLD (my George PENFOLD's grandfather) was a Trade Instructor at Portsmouth Prison for many years. I'm happy to share any information, and I'm always on the lookout for more connections :) Linda North Somerset, England linda@lindanet.co.uk Family tree at: http://www.lindanet.co.uk
