Title: Which is the correct Lydia Bridges?
Post by: sues82 on Sunday 17 April 16 02:05 BST (UK)

Hi, I am trying to sort out "which Lydia Bridges" There are two, one married Robert Pritty in Great Bealings, Suffolk 12/10/1810 and the other married Daniel Stanford 18/9/1807 in Syleham, Suffolk.
The Lydia Bridges I am looking for was ch21/12/1783 in Frostenden, Suffolk daughter of Samuel Bridges and Anne Mills. A number of trees in Ancestry have both options but the same parents. No parent is on either marriage in any records I could find. Any help is appreciated.

1861 Census has a Lydia Stannord born c 1783 Suffolk, living in St Panras, Middlesex, a Widow
RG9/104/19/34

1851 she is Lydia Steward born c 1784 Suffolk


1851 Lydia Pratty (Pretty) is born c 1783 Wandsworth, Suffolk, living in Halstead, Essex
1861 Lydia Pretty is born c 1784 Wondalworth, Suffolk

You would need to find the Christenings of the 2 Couples Children to see if any of them name a Child Samuel/Ann
