George Pickingill  ( 1816 – 1909 )

2.      GEORGE PICKINGILL  was born in Hockley, Essex and was baptized May 26, 1816 at the church in Hockley.:

Father:      CHARLES PICKINGILL    (No. 1)

Mother:     SUSANNAH (OR HANNAH) ----?----

George Pickingill lived with his parents in Hockley from the time of his birth in 1816 until the 1830’s.

It is not known where George was at the time of the 1841 census.

Concerning the later censuses, George Pickingill’s age varies widely depending which census you look at, giving a birth year between 1806 to 1825 (but we know that he was baptized in 1816) at and also the spelling of the last name varies too:

1851 – age 26 – born ca. 1825   George Pickengill

1861 – age 46 – born ca. 1815   George Pickengale

1871 – age 55 – born ca. 1816   George Pitengale

1881 – age 60 – born ca. 1821   George Pickingale

1891 – age 80 – born ca. 1811   George Pickingill

1901 – age 95 – born ca. 1806   George Pickengal

Since most of the articles concerning George uses his name with the spelling of PICKINGILL.  We will use that spelling except when we discuss the actual records below.  In the records, it appears that the spelling of Pickingale is used many times.

In 1851, George Pickingill was a Lodger in Little Wakering, Essex.

From the 1851 Census of Little Wakering, Essex, we find the following:

New England Island Farm House, in the household of David Chinens

Name - Relationship – Married or Single – Age – Sex – Profession – Birthplace

George Pickengill     Lodger     U      26   M     Farm Labr     Esx Hockley

There is a marriage entry of a George Pickingill and Sarah Ann Bateman on May 19, 1856 at Saint George, Gravesend, Kent, England.

The problem is that the wife’s name is Sarah not Mary.   All the censuses mentions George’s wife as Mary Ann.

According to the censuses, Mary Ann Pickingill was born in TILLINGHAM, Essex ca. 1827, 1828, or 1831 (As with George Pickingill, Mary Ann’s age varies depending on which census you look at).

From the 1851 Census of Tillingham, Essex, we find the following:

Back place

Name - Relationship – Married or Single – Age – Sex – Profession – Birthplace

John Onwin                 Head    Mar  56 M   Ag. Lab                        Essex  Dengie
Eliza Onwin                 Daur      U    17 F   Worker in [field?]           Essex  Tillingham
Sarah Ann Bateman  Lodger   U     20 F          Do                              Do       Do

The above census shows that there was a Sarah Ann Bateman born in TILLINGHAM.  And the marriage entry above shows that she married George Pickingill.

So why does she goes with the name Mary after the marriage ?

In 1858, base on the birth of George and Mary’s daughter, Martha Ann, the Pickingill family were living in Hawkwell, Essex or Hatfield, Essex (Martha’s birthplace according to the 1861 or 1871 censuses).

In 1861, George Pickingill was living in Eastwood, Essex with his wife and their 2 year old daughter.

From the 1861 Census of Eastwood, Essex, we find the following:

Tinkers Lane

George Pickengale   Head  Mar  46 M            Ag Lab             Essex  Hockley

Martha A    do          Daur              2 F                                     do     Hawkwell

Between 1864 and 1868, base on the births of George and Mary Pickingill’s children, Mary A. and George, the family moved from Eastwood to Canewdon, Essex.

In 1871, George Pickingill and his family were living in Canewdon, Essex.

From the 1871 Census of Canewdon, Essex, we find the following:

In 1881, George Pickingill and his family were living in Canewdon, Essex.

From the 1881 Census of Canewdon, Essex, we find the following:

In 1891, George Pickingill, a widower is living in Canewdon and his married daughter, Mary Ann Wood, and granddaughter, Emily Wood, are with him.

In the beginning of the 20^th century, we find in 1901, George Pickingill’s, two sons, Frederick and George, are back living with their aged father.
