Hi fairydust

If you read the previous postings you will see it has been pretty clearly established that JOHN DREDGE'S father was PETER DREDGE who was married to ANN.  This Ann may be the daughter of George and Hannah White of Odstock, Wiltshire. Her baptism was 26 Dec 1775.

It is really neat to have another descendant join the discussion. Thomas and Betsey did well!

Do you have any clues about what happened to

1)Ann White Dredge who married William Henry Broad in 1869
2)Eliza Pitt Dredge who married Robert Hoskins in 1869
3) William Roland Dredge whom I did not find after 1871 when he was 14 but neither could I find a death for him

Hi Jane

Yes you do have the right person. Actual date of birth is 19 November 1879. Edith married Frank Sargent Huggins 28 June 1905 in Dunedin and died 10 august 1962 in Palmerston North, New Zealand.

Do you have any leads on other children of John Dredge and Elizabeth Stone?

Hi Jane

Many thanks for family of Harry Dredge. I found them in 1901 using Olive.

My husband's grandmother was Edith Annie Dredge, daughter of James Dredge  who was son of John Dredge and Elizabeth Stone. I guess that makes her cousin to your Harry.

Her family also had a Harry , a James and a Roland John .

Do you have any info on daughters of John Dredge and Elizabeth Stone? I have only

Eliza Pitt Dredge married Robert Hoskins,  Weymouth, June 1869

Ann White Dredge married William Henry Broad, Alderbury, June 1869

Hi Jane

I found Harry Dredge born 1866 on HMS Hotspur in Bermuda in 1901 census but had discounted him originally as his birthplace is given as Devizes which is not correct. However, if he was in the Royal Navy this must be him.

In 1911 census Harry Dredge born 1866 is living at Blandford in Dorset. On the same page there is an Olivia Caroline Dredge born 1871. Free BMD gives me a marriage for Harry Dredge  Salisbury March 1896 with Olivia Caroline Brown on the same page so I presume this is his wife and your great grandmother.

I could not identify their children in 1911 as there seemed to be another Dredge family there too. I did not find Olivia in 1901. Perhaps she was in Bermuda also?

Hi

I am looking for any information on Sarah Elizabeth Harris, daughter of Thomas Harris and Elizabeth Boulden Couchman. Born 31 July 1839 Ladywell, Lewisham,Kent. Last found 1861 census as a servant in house of Charles Couchman, Douglas Villas, Lee, Kent.

Did she marry? When did she die?

Hi Jane

It's amazing that you are g grandaughter of Harry Dredge. I found a Harry Dredge in 1891 England census. He was a visitor at 29 Royal Avenue, Chelsea, London, and a curate at St Luke's Redcliffe Square, Kensington. I thought this might be him even though the age is wrong. Do you know if he is the right one?

Harry obviously has a line to follow but I have been unable to find a marriage as yet. Can you point me in the right direction?

My research confirms all the material supplied by Nigel re origins of John Dredge and family. John Dredge and Elizabeth Stone were married Wincanton January 1837. Two sons, James and Harry, were born in Wincanton, 1839 and 1840 respectively. Other children born Britford as described by Nigel.

Also William Roland Dredge born March 1857, East Harnham but baptised Britford, is their son.

Ann White Dredge appears to have been named for her paternal grandmother.

I have more information on James Dredge ,son of John and Elizabeth. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1874 with wife and 2 sons.

re Peter and Ann Dredge.

Peter Dredge born c. 1774 said to have married Ann White of Odstock, Wilts c. 1796. Place unknown.
James Dredge, son of Peter and Ann born c. 1796 possibly Britford. This James emigrated to Australia in 1838 and became a Protector of Aborigines (see on-line article by Rhonda Dredge, original held in State Library of Victoria).

Also-2 burials in Britford

Peter Dredge son of Peter and Ann buried june 1 1803
Joseph Dredge son of Peter and Ann buried Feb 13 1804

Ages and birthplace unknown for these 2. Could be born Britford as register very difficult to read.

Other children as described by Nigel.

I have a copy of the death certificate of Peter Dredge died Alderbury 1854. The informant is Mark Downer, son-in-law, Hannah's husband, confirming that this Peter is her father and therefore father of John.

Incidentally, Hannah Downer nee Dredge married Alexander Redman March 1878 after Mark Downer died in 1872.

The IGI has some incorrect information. Eliza Pitt Dredge, daughter of John and Elizabeth, is listed as Elizabeth, chr 19 Sept 1847., Britford. The Britford register clearly shows Pitt.

Also the IGI has Peter Dredge marrying Mary Ann Waeff. Her surname in Britford register is Wooff. I presume this is Peter born 1812, son of Peter and Ann.

Does anyone have a line for Harry Dredge born c. 1866, son of Thomas Stone Dredge and Betsey Parker? I have losr him.

Also looking for William Roland Dredge, son of John and Elizabeth b. East Harnham 1857. Last found by me in 1871 census at home aged 14.
