George Langridge

[Sandie X]

Hi
Please can anyone help me find the parents of a George Langridge born 1818 - 1823 East Grinstead. The reason I have put 1818 - 1823 is that on the 1851 census he is shown as being born 1823 and the other subsequent census he is shown as being born 1818 - 1819. He was married to an Eliza Bailey or Tiley and lived in Croydon. They had 8 children as far as I can tell.

There is another George Langridge born 1823 on the 1851 census parents were Robert Langridge and Mary Ann Thomas. This Robert was born according to the 1841 census c 1771 East Grinstead. If it's not too much to ask can anyone please tell me who his parents were.

It is very frustrating having these two unattatched families.

Kindest regards
Sandie

Hello All,

I'm sorry Sandie, but I'm partly going with Judi (except for father's name). I've just spent the evening going through the fiche for St Swithuns Baptism Register, 1813 to 1827 and can only find two George Langridge:

Entry No. 955  28th April 1822
George, son of Samuel and Frances Langridge
Abode; Forest Row
Father's occupation; Carpenter

Entry No.1076  15th June 1823
George, son of Robert and Mary Ann Langridge
Abode; East Grinstead
Father's occupation; Labourer

There appear to be three further sons for Samuel and Frances;
Henry, baptised 9th April 1820
Samuel, 22nd August 1824
William, 31st May 1830

From the Sussex Marriage Index:
East Grinstead 
4th October 1819
Samuel Langridge, bach
Frances Histed, sp
botp, Banns

I can't help you with the birth for Robert Langridge, I'm afraid, but it is unlikely that he was baptised in East Grinstead, as the IGI has always been 100 per cent for East Grinstead when I have used it as a check. The 1851 census makes Robert's year of birth 1867, for which I can only find a Henry Langridge, son of George and Elizabeth. They appear to be the only Langridge couple having children in East Grinstead at the time.

Regards,
Phil

Hello again,

Sorry Judi, I somehow skipped your second post where you had Samuel as the father.

Sandie,
 I've just looked at my 1841 census index and if the Robert Langridge you quoted is the one in East Grinstead Town, age 70, Ag Lab, living with John and George, both plumbers and Julia Benfield, then he is listed as not born in county
Perhaps some-one with access to the images will be able to check it out. I'm afraid I only have an index so can't provide the references.

I've just checked this and yes it does show Robert Langridge as not born in county.  They lived in Chapel Lane.  He could of course have been born in Surrey or Kent - not much more than a stones-throw away from east Grinstead.  Try Lingfield, Surrey - some of my Gibbs oscillated between East Grinstead and Lingfield.

Hi Julian long time no speak hope your Langridge problem has been sorted, hope I was some help a while back.
Hi Phil
Thanks for your help I appreciate that sometimes on the census returns half of the DOB's are inaccurate.
Using the fathers occupation of Carpenter it is potentially possible that my George 1818 - 1823 who married Eliza was the son of Samuel and Frances
I will have to keep hunting
All your help is very welcome.
