I am doing research for a family friend for her parents Christmas gift. I have run into a brick wall as to who William's parents were. I know the following from censuses and family lore:
William W. Tinker, born February 1855, AL. Died sometime after 1920 Census.
Married 1) Nancy Jane Johnson, b. 1853 in AL. They were married on 5 January 1879, Jackson County, AL. They had:
1. George H. Tinker, born February 1880 and died 16 May 1956 in Etowah, AL. He married Francis L. ?. They had Lucy b. 1903, Henderson b 1906, Minnie, b. 1907 and Vira b. 1907.
2. Nellie M., born 1884 or 1886, in AL. She married William L. Martin, b. 1881 in Georgia. They had Zuma, Seattle, William J., Dell Lee and Frank Jack.
3. William J. Tinker, b. November 1887, AL.
4. Minnie Lee Tinker, b 23 March 1888. She married Walter F. Lanthripp. She died 3 September 1928 in Alabama City, Etowah, AL.

William W. Tinker married 2nd. Jenarie E. Saratt, Jackson County, AL in 1895.

NOTE: This means that Nancy Jane Johnson Tinker died sometime after 1888 and before 1895.

He is listed in the 1880 Census, Jackson County, AL; 1900 Alabama City, Etowah, AL; 1910, Alabama Ward 3, Etowah, AL, and 1920 Stafford, Cherokee, AL.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I come from a long line of Tinkers in Jackson County, Alabama. My Grandfather's name was Charles Wesley Tinker. His Father was Hance Tinker. I'll try to get more information, but I know there were a ton of Tinker's in Jackson County, Alabama, has to be a connection.
