James Pinkerton & Mary Ann Pollock

A LITTLE PINKERTON HISTORY

The paternal Pinkerton branch of my family has been transplanted on Australian soil for 8 generations, so far!

In 1841 there were three people onboard the 'New York Packet' which sailed into Sydney that would play a part in the Pinkerton Lineage.

They were James PINKERTON, aged 23, a native of Derry, Ireland, Mary Ann POLLOCK, aged 21, and her younger sister Margaret POLLOCK, aged 18 both from Leckpatrick, Co. Tyrone, Ireland.

James appeared to have traveled out on his own undertaking as a Labourer and Mary Ann and Margaret whose callings were as Servants were brought out by a Mr John Miller under the protection of Mr Andrew Kerr and his wife.

Whether they new each other before the voyage down under is not clear but on 29 March 1842 James and Mary Ann were married at the Scotts Church in Pitt St, Sydney. They went on to have 8 children.

Margaret married John JOHNSON on 25th August 1847 at St Saviour's Church in the County of Argyle, NSW which is now known as Goulburn, NSW, Aus.

This is not our family crest as far as I know, but to learn more go to the Pinkerton Resource Page
