Biography

Thomas Pankhurst was baptised on the 28 Jul 1732 and is the son of John Pankhurst and Susanna (Carpenter) Pankhurst^[1] (No profile has been added for Susanna). In the transcription of Thomas's baptism on the Findmypast website John Pankhurst is shown as deceased. ^[2]

On the 03 Dec 1749 Thomas married Mary Beeching in Cranbrook, Kent, England. ^[3]

On the 30 May 1753 Elizabeth Pankhurst the Daughter of Thomas and Mary was Baptised in Cranbrook, Kent, England. ^[4]

(The next child of Thomas and Mary is sourced but as both the parent's and child's names are very common there is a slight possibility that Mary might not be their daughter.

On the 30 Oct 1754 Mary Pankhurst the daughter of Thomas and Mary was baptised in Cranbrook, Kent, England). ^[5]

The death of Thomas cannot be verified with certainty as there are two people of this name that have been buried in Cranbrook, Kent, England that could be him. The most likely death year is 1791 as there is a burial there on the 3rd January 1791. ^[6] The other burial date, 5th August 1767, whilst not impossible seems less likely. ^[7] Sources have been included as a guide only.
