Hi,

There is this birth,

Edward CLARRIDGE  Jul-Aug-Sep Q  1842  N.Witchford  v.14  p.119

North Witchford was the registration district for Chatteris.

Maybe they added Joseph to his name later   

Regards
Daisy

[welsh lady]

Elizabeth Claridge,Wife,30.
Alice Claridge,Dau,11.
Joseph Claridge,Son,8.
William Claridge,Son,4.
Betsey Claridge,Dau,1m
All born Chatteris

Possible marriage William Claridge to Elizabeth Leach in Qtr Mar 1839  Vol 14 Page 191.

Have also looked for birth cant find it maybe he wasnt registered at that time registration wasnt enforced and have a few in my own tree who werent registered.Or Daisy has a possible above.

hi to Chris,Daisy,& Welsh Lady, i have sent away for parish records for Chatteris,Cambs.
           Welsh Lady has got the right family,with my gt grandfather joseph 8 yrs,who went on to have his own family of 12 children,so must have a lot of cousins out there. i have been to Cambridge records office and they said the same as Welsh Lady,maybe he was not registered as it was not enforced. When i receive parish records will check out Daisy's theory. So thank you all for your help.         
                     regards Allan.
