Kent / The Terminus Hotel, Gravesend
« on: Monday 27 July 09 13:30 BST (UK)  »
Does anybody have any information on the Terminus Hotel that stood in Stuart Road, Gravesend from 1899-1988. I found an old photograph of the hotel c. 1916 and it has the name W.H. Bridger above the door. I am researching the Bridger name and am trying to establish whether or not this person has any connection to my tree.

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Re: William Bridger
« on: Monday 27 July 09 13:20 BST (UK)  »
SAlly,

I have a Richard Bridger born abt. 1790 in Penshurst, Kent. He was the son of John Bridger and Mary Hook. This couple had 10 children as far as I can make out.

I have very little information on him other than he was baptised 15 August 1790 at St John the Baptist Church in Penshurst, Kent.

What other links have you found with the Bridger family?

Kent / Where are records held for Chiddingstone...?
« on: Saturday 25 July 09 10:05 BST (UK)  »
Sorry for asking such an obvious question. Blame me for being Scottish if you will! Can anybody tell me where the records for Chiddingstone are likely to be held? Is it Maidstone? If so have never used this facility. What would I need to do?

Sorry for being a pain!

Thank you

Ian

I have 3 Richards in my tree thus far: c. 1790, c. 1833, 1858. I don't have a Jemima however.

I must say I had little trouble going back in a straight line with my tree but it has started to get a bit tricky now that I am trying to flesh it out a bit through other branches.

Looks like I made an error then and it is neither of the individuals from Tonbridge?

Yes...sorry for not making that clear. I was trying to get as far as possible before being forced to spend money on certificates! I have been working my way through my dead ends now that I am on my summer break. I plan to go to the Maidstone record office at some point over the next few weeks as the immediate line (Bridger) I am interested in stem from Chiddingstone/Penshurst.

I must apologise to you if I have caused you any problems? This is the first chance I have had to pick up any research for a few months now and am a bit rusty!

From what I can work out he is the son of Robert Bridger b. abt 1841 and Mary Kemp b. abt. 1845. He appears to be the youngest of 7 children.

I have him in the England and Wales birth index 1887; Vol 2a, page 690 Tonbridge. I have found him in both the 1891 and 1901 census in Kemsing but that is about as far as it gets.
