Hello Robert

My great-grandfather is:

EDWARD J. ETTRIDGE, b. 19 Mar 1880, Whitechapel, Mile End New Town

so I'd be interested in any info you have.

I haven't done any research in ages, so I can't remember what I have that would be of help to you, but I'll have a look to see how far it goes back. It sounds like you have a lot more than me.

The grandfather of Edward J. Ettridge (1880) was my 2nd great grandfather. Edward J. Ettridge was the great grandson of Thomas Etridge, born about 1796, which is as far back as I have gone with any certainty. We may need to communicate outside of Rootschat if you would like more information (I do have quite a lot). If you are a member of the Society of Genealogists they may agree to forward a letter.

I have recently 'stumbled' on a rootschat message placed some time ago by Aulus. Charles John is part of my family and I have considerable information on the ancestry and descendatnts.
The following is an extract from my FTM Genealogical report, much edited to fit the message board space.
