Suffolk / Re: Looking for Walter J BRIDGEMAN
« on: Monday 14 March 11 20:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Marinelife,

Roger Bridgeman mentioned above is my great-grandfather; I'm pretty sure the Walter James from Swansea isn't the one you are looking for. Having said that, I've not been able to find any other information.

If there's any other info on Combs Bridgeman's you'd like to know, I may be able to help.

Best wishes

Suffolk / Re: Lillistone/Welham/Bridgeman of Stowmarket Problem :0)

I believe

Harry (aka Henry) Bridgeman b 1832 Combs m Mary Ann Welham b 1837 Buxhall on 16 Jun 1857 (Cosford database).

Their first child Emily b 20 Apr 1857 (copy of BC) m Arthur (Charles) Lillistone b 22 Feb 1853 (GRO Stow Vol 4a pg 477) on 6 Feb 1876 (GRO Stow Vol 4a pg 636).

Emily and Charles had  children Florence Sophia Lillistone b 1879 and Ellen Maud Lillistone b 1896.

Sadly Charles d 4 Dec 1895 (GRO Stow Vol 4a pg 472) at the Bakers Arms and Emily d Dec 1896 (Stow Vol 4a pg 467).

I'm not completely convinced of the marriage date of Henry and Mary Ann as this is after the date of Emily' birth and her birth certificate clearly states the mother as Mary Ann Bridgeman formely Welham.

The Bakers Arms and the Lillistones get a mention in 'Stowmarket, Combs and Stowupland Pubs' by Neil Langridge & Brian A Southgate.

Hope this helps...
