Marriage Elizabeth PEARCE, Great Marlow PR

[Peonynon]

HI,

I have an Elizabeth Pearce marrying Solomon Ridgley in Bledlow Bucks on 17.05.1817.  She is buried on 15.05.1825 and her age is given as 25.

However I have not been able to find her baptism.

I have come across a baptism for an Elizabeth Pierce (d John and Sarah) in Great Marlow on 10.05.1804.  If anyone has access to Great Marlow marriages, could they see if Elizabeth marries please?

Thanks

Peony

Hi Peony

There is an Elizabeth Pierce born about 1795 who married Joseph Righy in Marlow in 1815. It's possible this is your second Elizabeth but unfortunately it doesn't give parents names.

Hi Dinie,

Thanks for looking this up for me.

Hi, I have the marriages for All Saints Gt Marlow, there are no marriages for an Elizabeth Pearce, only an Elizabeth Piercy who married a James Harding 3rd June 1819.
Looked up marriages at All Saints Gt Marlow for a John and Sarah Pearce, none for a John Pearce, there was one for a John Pearcy to a Sarah Clark by Banns 13.2.1774 and a John Piercy to a Sarah Plucknutt by Banns 21.1.1799.
Was hoping perhaps to find an Elizabeth under the names Pearcy, Piercy in baptisms Gt Marlow. Only Elizabeth was the one you had found baptised 10.5.1804.
I'm afraid these details will not be of much use, sorry, but tried.
Noticed you had the surname Harris in Bucks, all my Harris ancestors came from Gt Marlow.
Kind Regards.

Hi,

Thanks for the information on Pierce and Piercy.  I have actually widenened my search to include Pizzey, Pusey, Pearce etc.  One day I will find her.

My Harris collection came from just over the hill.  Mainly West Wycombe, and then they started using Lane End when that opened.  I actually have an Esther Webb marrying Samuel Harris in Great Marlow on 27.07.1807.  So I am sure we are connected somewhere back down the line.

Kind regards

My g.g.g.grandfather was Daniel Ridgley, b. 1771.  He had seven children including Soloman and Soloman's brother John, my ancestor.  John married Hannah Asten in 2 Feb 1818 and ultimately my g.g.grandmother Emma Ridgley was born in 1829 in Bradenham, Buckinghamshire. 
Emma Ridgley married Charles George Goodwin 12 January 1852 in Farnham Royal, Buckinghamshire and I've hit a brick wall trying to find details of Charles' father and mother, John George and Rebecca Goodwin.  John George Goodwin was a servant but apart from witnessing his son's baptism and wedding documents, I can find no trace of him or Rebecca.

Peonynon,

I have Harris' at West Wycombe too. My Harris' end with Ann Harris b. 1809 West Wyc who married William Cutler at Dorney in 1834. Her parents were Henry and Pathina. What is your link?

I have Lane End PR's on disc if you need lookups. I have checked for the Pearce baptism in Stokenchurch and Fingest but couldn't find anything

Hi Cannie Lad,

Just had a quick count up and Daniel Ridgley was my ggggg grandfather.  As you probably are aware John was Solomans older brother.
 
We have yet to find Daniels birth details.  But so far the best theory is a baptism  of Daniel Lisley in Princess Risborough in 1771.  When I get time I must look into this a bit more as the Ridgley name was not common in Buckinghamshire before this time.

My Ridgley name came down all the way to my Grandmother who married in 1936 and although we cannot extend the Ridgley name back very far yet.  Daniels wife Joyce Lacey has a lot of traceable relatives.

Good luck

Hi Matt

My Harris start with Thomas who died in 1715 and continue through to Minnie who dies in 1959.  They seemed to live in the valley between Fingest, West Wycombe then High Wycombe.

I have a record of a Henry born on 25.11.1781 although I have not made a note of who he marries as he is the older brother of my ancester Samuel.  Their father was Thomas and they were born in the West Wycombe area.  Any connection?

Thanks for looking up the Pearce baptism.
