Jim, I think all three you listed are correct. In the 1901 he's shown as Upholsterer, which was on his marriage cert. in August 1901.

He went on to become Manager in charge of timber production in Argentina for Maples, I've found records of him, his wife Amelia, and daughter Dorothy (my dreaded mother in law), travelling back and forth, first class. So from dubious beginnings he certainly made good.

Thanks to everyone for all your help, its certainly been a very interesting afternoon for me, I hope you all enjoyed it too.

Thank you, Denise, I've sent a message and will wait impatiently for a reply.

I hope you noticed the Penfield alteration to Pinfield
1851?
Emma Penfield Rebecca abt 1831 London, England Daughter St Pancras, Middlesex

Would be nice to find a marriage for Emma to Mr Pilarski, wonder if his name was Leopold??

Yes, I'm backtracking using both Penfield and Pinfield. I keep finding mothers and grandmothers, but no fathers or grandfathers.

I have the feeling that Mr. Pilarski, if there was one, was just passing through, and happened to meet Emma Pinfield. I'll send for Antonia's birth cert. next to see if it says anything about the father, though I would have to take it with a pinch of salt anyway.

I wondered why my late husband used to tell such tall stories, obviously it was in his blood.

At last I've discovered a male Pinfield - Henry Pinfield married Rebecca Day in 1821 in Huntingdonshire.
