Surnames: PENFOLD Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CS5.2ACEB/55.56.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Lisa, Not sure if we have any connection or not. I cannot go back any farther than Harriet Penfold's (my gg-grandmother) parents William Penfold & wife Mary. I have been unable to find their marriage on the IGI either, although there is a William Penfold and a Mary Collings listed in 1805 married at Stone by Dartford which is quite close to Erith (I think??). So I seem to be stuck here. Being that your Penfolds are from the Erith area, I would hope that we would have a connection. How far can you go back on your Penfold family? I was also very interested when I read your last name "Gorringe". My gg-grandmother Harriet Penfold married Lionel Bellingham in Charlton, Kent, in 1840. Lionel is the great nephew of Aaron Bellingham (b. 1781 Tonbridge, Kent) who married Phebe Gorringe. They had one daughter that I know of Ann Bellingham who married a George Skinner. Would you be related to any of these people by chance??? You can reply to me at my home address: mrs.bgreenjeans@shaw.ca Thanks! Bonnie
