i am also looking for martha jenks i think she was an aunt to my father , but later whent on to adopt him could you please get back to me , ithink we could be related Regards Denise

the info i got of my grandmother was that MARTHA was born JENKS and married into a JONES and with the info i got by looking on here is that her mum n dad were GEORGE and APPLEY H that is all i have and they were from the BILSTON area and they resided in GREEN CROFT area of BILSTON

You think Jenks/Jinks is bad? This looks like them in 1861:
2 Lewis Yard, Bilston, Staffordshire
George Hincks, head, 27, stone miner, born Bilston
Applehannah, wife, 27, born Salop, Kingsley
Susannah, dau, 3, born Bilston
Emma Jane, dau, 3 months, born Bilston

Could this be parents' marriage?
George Jinks and Aplianna Lewis, Dec. Q, 1855, Wolverhampton. (6b 635)

thank you ill try jinks

Lisa just because her name was jenks it could have been mis-heard or wrote down incorrectly when her parents registered her birth.
I checked the complete bmd and there is no martha jenks birth registered in 1876.

richard.

well Lisa you could try sending for that cert.from the offical site http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/
and ask for a check using her fathers name and if it doesn't match they will give you part of the
£7 back. I think they keep about £3

that info about MARTHA marryin ALFRED and having a daughter called ELSIE was right si it was deffinately JENKS coz that was my grandmothers nan

margaret i know that her parents were george and appley h and that she was borrn in 1876 and her name was jenks not jinks

No Martha Jenks on the index pages so the one Richard posted could be it ,just as some of mine have an
"o "instead of" a " in my surname

In 1871 the family is transcribed Jinks:
Smith St., Bilston, Staffordshire
George, head, 34, coal miner, born Staffs, Ladymoor
Apply A., wife 32, born Salop
Matthew, son, 6, born Bilston
