Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Missing Butlin Family
« on: Friday 06 January 17 11:00 GMT (UK)  »
I am doing the Westbrook family at present.  There is a George in Frances Maria's family so I think it is possible that this could be your missing Butlin family.  It is Joseph Westbrook born 1787 I am following.  The children are: Catherine 1785, Joseph 1787, Elizabeth 1789, Matthew 1791, Wm 1795, John 1798, Sarah 1799, George 1802, James 1804 and Frances Maria 1807.

Thank you so very much for helping.  Not him as he was born about 1816.  Well another one of the Westbrook family that vanished into thin air.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Burial of Richard Westbrook 1852 Whitechapel
« on: Sunday 13 November 16 03:13 GMT (UK)  »
Would anyone have access to a burial record (death registered June Quarter 1852 Whitechapel) please? I don't really want to buy the death certificate as it isn't really my family. I have him on the 1840 and 1851 census and his marriage but by 1861 his wife is living with another man and the three Westbrook children.  I don't believe they married. By 1871 he is gone.

I just put it up for others.  I was looking on Ancestry for Hannah's branch and saw the notice and the death date.  Trove was re-done awhile back and that is why I added the link.  Great Aunt told me about his death so the family knew about it.  They gave him a proper burial etc. I have still to look for photos.  Have mainly been working on the Westbrook family from Blackwall (London area) to see if I can find the mother while the 87, 84 and David (Andrew Charles) are still with us.  They are all interested.

This is his death detail.  It is the "back of Bourke" Teryawynie Station is on the Talyawalka Creek off the Darling.  I had a quick look on Ancestry and his date of death is given as 29 Oct 1916.  The marriage to Vernon is listed as 16.10.1917 Auckland NZ.  He was my grandfather's brother.

She was his nurse and they married.  As far as I know the marriage was still valid when she re-married in NZ.  He never married again.  I didn't know she married twice after James.  He certainly was a good looking man.

Andy,

I don't know that Sarah is a sister but given her age at burial she would fit.  Neither wife was Sarah but they had a daughter Sarah and Henry did add Gallant to a couple of his children's bapts.  Henry was a year younger than Catherine Bond so he must have been born the year he was baptized. Didn't make the connection with Samuel Rowe and it does look like the first wife was Mary Pitt.  No I didn't see a burial for the first William but it might be under her maiden name not Kerridge.  Agree there is a big gap between the last child and Henry but I have seen this is families before.  There may be another in 1765/66 but I didn't see it.  I did try Herridge as well. Lots of Gallants but didn't see anything of interest.

Hi Andy,

I struggled with the Suffolk records at our local Society yesterday but I did progress. Henry Gallant Kerridge was Chr 23.1.1772 St Stephen (no second given name recorded). It seems his aunt Sarah Kerridge born abt 1726/7 mar. Henry Gallant 31.3.1765. He subscribed to a history of Ipswich so I knew he existed. Seems no children. She was bur. 23.4.1793 aged 66 and he wid 23.5.1796 aged 65. both St Stephen. The father of Henry mar. Rebecca Mullinger 7.11.1754 St Clement. He a wid. His first wife Mary was bur. 11.10.1751. He and Rebecca and he and Mary were subject to settlements first 2.3.1744 no children mentioned so probably just married and 16.12.1756 with Rebecca with children Mary and Sarah to St Mary Tower so I guess he came from there. From his first marriage Mary Chr 25.9.1745 St Peter survived (James and William died as infants). Sarah was Chr 8 or 9 Jan 1756 St Clement (two entries under different spellings), William, 6.4.1758, James 13.8.1760 and Rebecca Dec 1761 (to Isabel but think it is a mistake as no other entries) who mar aged 18 28.2.1780 Kesgrave, John Moore aged 30. Her father listed as William. Think the Moore named used later is from this marriage so perhaps no children. I still don't know where Snell comes from but Ann Catherine born 23.11.1792 Chr 9 Dec. at St Lawrence Ispwich to Henry Kerridge and Catherine (late Bond) popped up. I will bet there is a Rebecca in there somewhere.

Was thinking about David Kerridge perhaps it was really Donald McDonald who would have been 19 in 1829. Perhaps he went on stage later on. So Hemming, Moore and Gallant accounted for but still have Snell and McDonald and Wood on Catherine's sister Rebecca line.  Given the Anna Maria, Sophia Maria and now Ann Catherine I wonder if the Bond mother was Ann or Anna?

There was a James and Sarah with dau Sarah settled in St Mary Tower in 1748 but not really much on them as a family but he could be a brother of William and Sarah. Two possible burials for William but no age listed on either. Nothing for Rebecca.

If any of it fits into your Kerridge database I would appreciate the information. If the PDF records were easier to use I would go back and try Rebecca's maiden name. Lots of Snells but no Kerridge marriage male or female there but it might be before 1754 which is the cut off date for the records they have made available. Printing is limited by the licence agreement which makes putting families together difficult. Fortunately William's first family is on Family Search.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Any information on HENRY KERRIDGE
« on: Monday 09 September 13 11:45 BST (UK)  »
Hi Andy,

Not much extra except the third witness to Sophia Maria Snell Kerridge's wedding to Nathan Martindale was Eliza Susannah Kerridge so she was alive on the 10th of April 1825.  Emma is listed as Emma Jane.  (If you have a spare Eliza getting married please let me know.)  Nat. Burial Index gave Nathan's burial and his son at age five.  Found one for William Kerridge in 1816 at St Clement which probably fits but no obvious wife.  (Snell is a very common name in Ipswich, Suffolk.)
