- "James Parkinson & Deborah Salthouse
March 18, 2011
As mentioned in earlier posts, I have been sent some great profiles about relatives from my mother’s side of the family. I don’t have permission to publish these at the moment so I’m sorry if the information I publish in the meantime is a bit dry. It does, however, help me get my head round the huge amount of material that Steve and Bernadette Robinson have been kindly sending me.
From what I can work out their research into this branch of our common ancestors goes back as far as James Parkinson and Deborah Salthouse, who are my great great great great grandparents. I’m not sure what James did for a living or when he was born, but he died in Southport on 23rd June 1840, and was buried in St. Mary’s Newhouse Catholic Church in Barton, Preston. Deborah Salthouse was born in 1773 and died on 4th May 1833. They married 30th November 1801 in Preston St John, and had the following childre
Margaret b. 8 Mar 1801, d. 31 Jan 1849

From Walkers to Parkinsons

Steve Robinson has been in touch in response to my Walker Pereira De Freitas British. Guiana Connection post. According to Steve, John Walker (joiner) and Margaret Parkinson were the parents of James Walker of Avenham Tower who married Mary Hannah Smith (the parents of Mary Agnes Walker aka Polly). This makes John and Margaret my great great great grandparents.
Margaret Parkinson parents were James Parkinson, corn dealer in Preston (died Southport June 1840), and Deborah Salthouse. Their son John is Steve’s ancestor, and John and Margaret also had a brother called George. Steve’s ancestor John Parkinson, married Ann Gornall. Her mother was a member of the Catholic recusant Gillow family. Steve has copies of letters from Ann Parkinson neé Gornall and one from my ancestor James Walker. Although not related to the Walkers Ann apparently remained close to them after the death of John Parkinson.
Ann’s grandparents were Richard Gillow and Isabel Brewer – Isabel was the first cousin of John Bede Brewer, President of the English Benedictines and the founder of Ampleforth. His nephew and first cousin once removed of Isabel was Archbishop John Bede Polding OSB.
Steve has not been able to find out much about the Parkinson and Salthouse families although the Parkinson, Gillow, Gornall and Walker families were well acquainted in the early 1800s........
