Devon / Re: Michael Patey of Brixham
« on: Saturday 28 April 12 10:25 BST (UK)  »
To Trish 1120 and dob7

Thanks for your research.  I know most of the information about Michael Patey's descendants except I hadn't noted the birth of Selina was 1847.  I haven't found a birth reference for her with Michael as her father. However the Michael Patey death in Kingsbridge in 1839 must be another Michael because the death record says he lived in Salcombe. It is strange that that is the only Michael Patey recorded.  The death reference you noted for 1851 I think is for a Miriam Patey.
Most of my Michael's children and his widow moved to Grimsby to work the North Sea fishing when the new docks opened in the 1860's. Louisa met my great grandfather Robert Henry Brydges, a fisherman from Barking in Essex, who had also moved to the new fishing grounds.  I shall keep hunting for my Michael Patey perhaps though his descendants who my still live in Devon.

Devon / Michael PATEY of Brixham
« on: Friday 27 April 12 12:17 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace details of my great, great grandfather Michael Patey, a mariner, of Brixham.
The only records I can find of him are on his daughter Louisa's (my great grandmother) birth certificate of 18 November 1838 where his profession is stated as Mariner, and his marriage record to my great, great grandmother, Marie Hill Windsor of 26 March 1826. She lived at Overgang Brixham in 1841 but there is no mention of Michael (who probably was at sea) or her being a widow. I have found a death of Michael Patey registered at Kingsbridge, Devon for June 1839.  Does anybody have any details of him?

Yes, I have seen Park Farm which is listed on the census, in particular 1871. On that census Park Cottage is listed between Sinton Court and Sinton Green so I think it must be on the Sinton Road somewhere.

Worcestershire / Location of Park Cottage, Grimley

I am still chasing my great, great grandfather Thomas Stayt.  I would like to know the exact location of Park Cottage where he and his family lived between about 1860 and 1900.  It is (was) backing onto the Thorngrove estate near Grimley Worcestershire where he worked as a butler for a succession of owners.  It was quite a big cottage with 6 bedrooms and about 2 acres of land. It does not show on Google maps but perhaps it is on a Victorian map of the time.

London and Middlesex / Re: Brydges

Your information is very interesting. I can see from the history of St Anne's Soho, on Wardour Street and Shaftesbury Avenue, that they had 44 meetings of the Church Tower Committee before they decided to rebuild.  You refer to St Matthew's, Great Peter Street as a possible place of christening for Williams Brydges in 1801 which actually is about 1.5 miles from St Anne's. The present church of St Matthews appears to have been built in 1849, I think part of the slum clearance of 'The Devil's Acre'. Was there a church on the site previously? I can't see it listed under the list of Westminster Parishes in 1801.

London and Middlesex / Brydges
« on: Thursday 05 April 12 13:46 BST (UK)  »
My great, great grandfather, William Henry Brydges was, according to census returns, born in St Anne's Soho parish, London, Middlesex in 1801.  He moved to Barking, Essex became a fisherman and eventually migrated to Grimsby where he died in 1881.  I have looked at the St Anne's Soho parish records on line but I can find no trace of him spelt as Brydges, Bridges or Bridger.  Does anyone have any information on his birth?

Thanks for that. Look forward to further info from you if can look it up for me. I am in Cornwall so difficult to visit Gloucestershire.
