Commentary
Samuel’s parentage:
Samuel’s marriage record gives his father as Samuel Hinde, deceased.
The 1861 census (taken 7 April), where Samuel himself was the likely informant, gives his age as 31 and his place of birth as Whitehaven, Cumberland.
Samuel’s Mates Certificate of Service, issued in 1851, states that he was “Born at Whitehaven County of Cumberland on the 13th Aug 1829”.
This information allows us to identify Samuel’s 23 August 1829 baptism in Whitehaven, which states that he was born 13 August 1829 and that he was the son of “Samuel and Mary Hind of Whitehaven (Marriner)”.
Mary’s marriage record gives her surname as Kennedy. In her 1839 will, Mary Hinde widow of Whitehaven names her son Samuel Hinde and her brother Robert Kennedy. A death notice for Mary mentions that she was the “widow of Capt. Samuel Hinde, and daughter of the late Capt. John Kennedy…”
Samuel is named in the 1837 will of his grandmother Jane Hind.
The evidence for Samuel’s parentage is fully sufficient.
