ATKINSON/BINKS/WESTMARLAND: I’m searching for information on Thomas Atkinson, born in Barningham 1761. He had a son called Richard, born in the village in 1790, who married Hannah Binks. Thomas’s father was called George, his mother was Elizabeth Westmarland. Any infor would be great. adbuckle@ancestry.com  Posted November 2009.

ATKINSON: My maternal grandmother was an Atkinson of Barningham. Her father was a wheelwright and I believe had a workshop in the village at the end of the 19th century. I’d be very interested to know if your group has any information about the family, in particular Edwin Atkinson junior, my grandmother’s brother.
