Title: Lookup: Edith Mary Bridger
Post by: Starteck2002 on Tuesday 10 June 08 22:54 BST (UK)

I am trying to find the birth or any other info for Edith Mary Bridger.   She married Herbert George Crawley on May 10th 1913 at St Peter the Less, Chichester age 23, father stated as 'Allen Bridger' (Deceased).

I can't even find her On the 1901 census so if anyone can shed some light it would be very much appreciated.

I've just done that exact search and then looked on the 1891 census for that area.  Not yet found one with a Father by the name of Allen :-(

Hi

This is puzzling. In 1901 there is an Edith M Bridger age 10 in Croydon but her parents are William and Amelia RG13/638/10 Pg11. There is also an Allen Bridger and family in Croydon but no Edith with them  ???

Jan ;)

William and Allen are both born Haslemere so possibly brothers (they are just checked 1871) . Since Allen is still single on the 1891 wondering if Edith's Mum died in childbirth and she was adopted by William :-\ Edith Mary is with William and Amelia in 1891. Think you will need that birth certificate
