Whitcomb - North Family History - page 3

The top of this old typed-out letter resembles the Pennistone-North online page. For more background on the old family letters see that page and also the Whitcomb-North online page (“page 2”) Henry Pennistone, of Horseley Gate (Horsleygate, England) appears to have been the father of Robert Pennistone. [Another possible spelling, from other pages of family history, appears to be Pennystone.] William North (apparently a grandson-in-law of Henry) married Elizabeth, and they seem to be the parents of Thomas North Senior, who married first Ellen Hopkinson and second Jane Biggins. Children from the first marriage were William, Thomas, and Jane. Other names on this old paper include Joseph Biggin, Catherine, Sarah Jane Brailsford, George Henry North, Mary Jane North, Sarah Helen, Thomas William, Charles Ewin, Sarah Ann, David Willard North, Helen Melissa North, Emily Elizabeth, etc
