Admin/biog history
Agnes Mary Copson was born c. 1867 in Linslade. She married Daniel Pinckard in the March quarter of 1903. In the 1911 census Daniel is described as a pig dealer. Daniel and Agnes's son, Bernard Copson Pinckard, was born in 1904. A daughter Enid Mary was born in 1905, A second son, Edward Copson Pinckard was born in 1907 and another daughter Joan in 1908. In 1920 Mrs Agnes Pinckard is listed as mistress of Tingrith school. Her husband died in 1947; Agnes died in 1952 leaving her sons as executors to her estate.
It seems likely that Agnes knew the Rollins family of Ravenstone from having been school mistress at the Ravenstone school before moving to Tingrith. She is registered to vote there between 1909 and 1919. Jack Rollins was the son of Lizzie Rollins who was born in 1871. Jack died in a bombing raid in London in world war II.
