Re: George Hinton

Hi Astonian,

I'll start with the latest

George Richard Hinton b 1890 Aston died 1939 married Alice Perks
His Parents were George Hinton b1856 Aston married1889 Harriet Collinton b 1861 Birmingham d 1933 had a sweet shop in Jardine Road
1901 census shows George and Harriet living with his brother William b 1842 and his wife Ellen b 1847 B'ham

in 1881 census shows George lodging with Harriets relatives Harriet and William Jenks.

Thats as far as i've got......i think George's father was Richard, but I can't find a link. George and Richard Hinton were staying with the Jenks in 1881 and William with same age and Richard show in the 1851 census, but then can't find anything for '61 and '71. They all seem to disappear. although Richards occupation is commercial traveller so i suppose he could have been anywhere, but where did William and George get to??

Do any of your Hintons tie in with that?

Re: George Hinton

HI MANDY,
I,VE Just Been Reading One Of Your Previous Threads You Sent On The Forum
What As Got Me More Intrigued His That There His A Perks Involved With The
Family , Now ,The More I Think About It We Do Have An Aunty Perks Involved With The Family And As i Have Said My Grand mother Was Bertha Victoria Hinton And The Father Is William Hinton, The More I Think About It ,And The ECHOING Conversation Going Through My Head What I Had With My Mother
Years Ago About Aunty Perks Which I Do Beleive Did Have A Sweet Shop In Witton And She Lost Her Husband Around The Same Period You Have Said
So I Am Totally Convinced This Is The Same Lady ,This Old Lady Had A Daughter Whom Was Looking After Her She Was Getting On In Age When I Went With Her To Vistit Her One Evening This Later Had Her Grand Daughter Living With Her She Was A Very Young Girl At The Time, And Her Name Was Gaynor,I Think Alice,s Daughter Was Edith, I,m Not One Hundred Percent On That And She Worked For An Insurance Company Was The
Last Time My MomAnd Myself Met Her
As I Have Said I Will Try And Find My HALF Of The Papers On This Subject
When The Mother Died I Think The Daughter And The Grand Daughter
Gaynor Moved And Sold The House
Also I Thought To Myself Regarding The Perks To Cross Check Was To Cross Check The Electrol Roll In B,ham For The Period Of 1950,S To The Sixties For The Perks Family Living In Septon Rd Edgbaston, It Was Very
Close To The Tower Ballroom ,Two Little Steps Away From The Place
Mom Told Me That The Three Of Them Used To Go Dancing There Regular
And Alice And The Daghter Was Pretty Good Dancers My MomWas A Pro. Dancer O Stage , Which They Knew Any Way
So If We Can Get Some-one To Look UP The Perks Family For A Listing
For A Period From The Forties Up To The Sixties I Know That Perks Will Show UP aT sEPTON rD Edgbaston , B,ham
And Secondly If Failing On That The Daughter Wih Gaynor Should Show UP On Shakespear Rd Lady wood B,hm 18 Which ToMy Calulations Was 3 Miles
Down The Momument Rd From Septon Rd
For The Period Of Shake spear Rd We Are Looking Throuht That Period Of
Late Fifties To The SIXTY,S i,m Hoping To Get To The Worc Libary AS Promise And Hopefully All Will Be Revealed As To Whether Or Not That
There Is Some Connection To Us Both Even Thou It Could Be Distanced
As I Say My Grand Father Was Wiliam Hinton ,
Mandy Have A Nice Day And Speak To You Soon , Best Wishes ASTONIAN ,;;;;

Re: George Hinton

Hi astonian,

How interesting you remember a Perks.

the sweet shop in our family was run by the Hintons, as far as I can see William Hinton did not have any children. I have sent for George Hintons birth certificate so I can find more Hinton info. i've only just started searching, I know they had the sweet shop in the 1920's but don't know how long they were there. (There was also a Harriet Hinton lited as a confectioner in the next road to ours - the place must have been over run with Hintons).

The Perks lived in Nechells and then later Erdington. As far as I am aware(so far) non of the family Hinton or Perks lived in Edgbaston. Some lived in Kidderminster. But I will go back over the census information.

On the Perks side I have gone quite far back and they lived in Aston/Nechells and before that West Bromwich

What dates do you have for your William and Bertha Hinton?

Hope you enjoyed the sunshire today:)
 
Re: George Hinton

Bay Window In The Other Rd But I Am SURE IT Is In Sefton Rd

Re: George Hinton

Hi Astonian,
Very interesting to read your story, but unfortunately, I think it confirms we are looking at two different sides of the Hinton family. Our William did not have any children (certainly non that survived anyway) and unfortunately he was never a police officer either.

I bet him riding round on his police bike scarred a few rascals off!

Re: George Hinton

Hi Astonian

I had an Uncle Norman Hinton, (he was something like a second cousin) he was married to a lady called Elsie , he was originally from Aston but moved to Tile Cross in the early to mid fifties (Briddsland Road) , he had a brother called George who I met only a couple of times , they were both quite small men in their build , I remember many years later going to the "Lamplighter" pub (in aston/newtown??)with Uncle Norman and my Dad to meet up with family /distant relatives , I met cousins who I had never met and cousins who I did not know existed :rolleyes:

I cannot remember to much about Uncle Norman except I think he worked for Atlas Express with my Dad and that he liked his drink !. Elsie his Wife was a much larger person and their nickname in those days were Andy Capp and Else!
