George Hankinson
I am trying to find out some more information whith what I have already found about my Great-grandfather George Hankinson.
He married Grace Ann Andrew(1880 - ?)before or after 1900.Where they lived I do not know, but I know that they moved to Kirkconnel, Scotland at around the turn of the 20th Century.This was a small but prosperous mining village in Dumfriesshire.
They had four sons:-
John - Born in 1898?
Died in 1928(Mining accident at Fauldhead colliery)
Isaac - Died 1903 in Kirkconnel(I believe he was a child)
Thomas - details unknown.
William George(1902-1965) - married Margaret Seivewright Cormack.
William George is my Grandfather, and my father is named Thomas.My uncles are named George & James, my aunt is named Grace Ann.They all grew up in Dumfriesshire, but have cousins in Cumbria.My family tradition seems to revolve around coal mining throughout the generations!
I was born in Dumfries on 11th November 1968 (many other Hankinson's have been born on the 11th November throughout the centuries), but I have felt the need to clarify my family origins & roots, as this has been queried over the years but in a more colourful language!
Any help or information regarding my Great-grandfather would be greatly appreciated.
yours sincerely
Dougy Hankinson
