Any information on HENRY KERRIDGE

[m4uke]

Hi everyone...have been a bit tied up lately and just realised that's 8 years gone by.  This has got interesting.  I am about to spend time reading all of this and will get back to you.  Hopefully not 8 more years lol

William's first wife, Mary, may be Mary PITT who married a William KERRIDGE at Ipswich St Peter on 31 Jul 1743 (a date which then suits your comment re no children in settlement of 1744).

Interested in your comment re Henry G's aunt being Sarah KERRIDGE who married Henry GALLANT - how do you know she was his aunt?

Note that there was a William Kerridge MULLINGER bp at Barking Sty Mary 28 Jul 1754, son of Rebecca MULLINGER

Got a bit more to look at but thought would get these bits off

Do you not think it strange that William and Rebecca had children 1754-1761 at 1-2 year intervals and then Henry G was bp 1772, 11 years after Rebecca?  It may be a baptism some year after birth of course, or where there other children bp elsewhere?

William bp 1754 son of William and Mary (probably nee PITT) - do you have a burial date for him?

On the marriage of Rebecca to John MOORE did you notice that the witnesses:  Samuel ROW & William KERRIDGE - Samuel was probably husband of Sarah KERRIDGE who married Samuel (a fermer of Eyke) at Kesgrave 8 May 1778 and the witnesses to that marriage were William and Rebecca KERRIDGE

Following up on the Kesgrave link
Marriage 09 Dec 1766 of a William KERRIDGE and Eliz WHYMAN
Burial 26 Jul 1780 of William KERRIDGE

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.

Meg.
