Household TINKER, Tinker 1845 56 M Ashton under Lyne Lancashire :-0

OK I give up. What's this about?

Presumably from 1901C. Was his name Tinker TINKER? Even one TINKER would make him rascally :-D

Sure was.....original baptism record online.....what were the parents thinking!

He was a rascal because he lied about his age. He was born in 1840.

I was disappointed that there don't seem to be any Tinker Taylors on freebmd.

Ann :-D

Have you seen Jason Manford, the Manchester comedian? He talks about Neville NEVILLE, the father of Gary and Phil Neville, famous footballers.

He reckons he went for a job and was asked to fill a form in and put Neville in the wrong box. Rather than go back and ask for another form and look a bit of a divvy, he put his other name as Neville also.

Perhaps Mr TINKER had a similar problem with Master TINKER back in 1845 ;-) :-S]

Edit 1840 (ken types quicker than me) :-(

He seems to be the only one:

Do you know names of wife and children. If wife is Susan, would she be listed as S Tinker?

There is another one same village born 1787 ....on FMP you can read the original church record......very strange, as all siblings with run of the mill names. So John I do not think it was a parental error......Tinker Tailors.....have you checked Ken ;-)

No Tinker Tailor, or Tinker Taylor. In fact there are not a lot on freebmd who have Tinker as the first name.

There is no one with the surname Beggarman or Thief, there is a Soldier, some Poorman's, lots of Richman's, some Sailor's and quite quite a lot of Spy's.

Some heads of household are a little too honest!

Have you ever seen the middle name Benoni. I think it means exactly the same ;-)
