Rickards

[bircle]

My fathers, father was James Beales Rickards who was married to Maude Mary Clarke. James Beales was born 1880,Birmingham. His father was John Edward Rickards, born 1849, Salisbury, UK. His father was Frederick Rickards born Winndelsham 1823. He married Sussanna Baker Godfrey in 1843 at West Drayton.


James Beales and Maude Mary were divorced. She lived near to Manchester
after WW1. I believe James moved to Leamington Spa.

Both my grandfather and my grandmother came from sizeable family groups.
John Edward married Elizabeth Beales who came from near to Leicester. 

I wish to identify any of the families to which I am related. I do have various names and birth locations.  I now live in France and these connections have acquired a special value for me.

Welcome !

In what way do you wish to identify these people  - can you be specific as to your requirements ?

For example, the Census can provide this sort of detail - here's your Frederick in the 1851, he's moved away from Surrey (Windlesham / Bagshot) and also from Susanah's West Drayton PoB to Salisbury ..

Frederick Rickards 7  son Hants, Yately (just west of Bagshot on the A30)
Benjamin Rickards 5  son Hants, Farnborough
Susannah Rickards 3 dau Wilts, Salisbury
John Rickards 1  son Salisbury

Henry Bunger 28  Servant Driver of Mail Cart
Mary A Bunger 18  Drivers wife
John Godfrey 15  Servant (shop boy)
Fanny Lodge 19  House Servant



from a quick look, it seems that they wont be hard to track thru the census years....

That has cleared up one item of inherited confusion: he was a corn merchant. I am still puzzled why and how he moved from Berkshire to Salisbury.
John referred to as age one year later moved to Birmingham and married Elizabeth Beales from Leicester. He was my fathers grandfather.
Fredericks father was also Frederick born 1799 at Winkfield, Berks.

I am gratefull for any help: thank you.

Berkshire ?

The kids were born in Yateley and Farnboro - Hants / Surrey / Berks borders ... by 1871 they are in Aldershot and it looks like they went there via London from Salisbury, based on youngers kids PoBs.

Just shows how mobile they were then ... I guess he started off being Post Master - by 1871 he is a commercial traveller ...

I'll transcribe a few more census, but if you want all the family individuals followed, hopefully others will pitch in....

I have Frederick Rickards, born 1799 Winkfield Berks, married to Jane who was born 1792.

Fredericks parents were Benjamin and Charlotte.

I have Sussana Baker Godfrey married to 1823 Frederick in 1843 at West Drayton. Her parents were William Godfrey and Mary. William was born 1800 at Harmondsworth to William Godfrey(b1775) and Susanna Baker(b 1775).I have them married at St Martin in the Field 1792.

I am interested particularly in trying to get back to the Civil War era and possibly earlier.
Also, due to the divorce of my paternal grandmother, I wish to find any modern family connections who wish to communicate.

I am grateful for any information about this family group, they seem to be there one year and then vanish again. I know my father was born in Birmingham and later moved with his mother and sister to Manchester.

Any further information is welcome: thank you.

I wish to  re-address this topic with Frederick at Wiindlesham and Bagshot circa 1829: any offers please.

Hi Bircle, I have an interest in the Rickard/s,they are an interesting family and have I some anecdotes, I am writing the history of my family as my three  grandchildren are Spanish so I have to leave our British origins for future generations!
I am descended from John Rickards born 1796,I believe he is the brother of your Frederck born Winkfield 1799.l I hope I  can get to the Reading Records Office in the next twelve months to try and tie them all together.
I'm not sure how this site works but if you can send me your email I can send you what I have.
