Talk:Jesse Pennington

Fishing tackle shop
I believe Pennington's shop was on Smethwick High Street. Can anyone confirm this? I have seen a photo of the shop with the caption "Smethwick High Street". --TammyMoet (talk) 17:23, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Have found the family living at 33 High Street on the 1911 Census: the photograph in question dates from 1934. I shall amend the entry accordingly. --TammyMoet (talk) 12:28, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

WW1 career in munitions, marriage, and children
How did Pennington come to work in munitions? The work was mostly (but not exclusively!) done by women, so it'd be interesting to learn what his path into the industry was. Was he a conscientious objector, or did he just find paid work in an essential role and get lucky?

There's lots of information on his parents, siblings, wife and child, as well as the fact his shop was a bicycle shop, here: http://www.englandfootballonline.com/TeamPlyrsBios/PlayersP/BioPenningtonJ.html But it should probably be taken from a primary source (i.e. the censuses themselves), rather than someone else's summary.
