John TRODD - where was he born?

[bearkat]

On the 1841 census John TRODD is living in Weston, St Mary Extra, aged 76 and not born in Hampshire.

HO107 piece 402 folio 11/29 page 7


He married his wife, Martha, on 4th March 1794 at St Mary, Southampton. Their first children were born in Itchen Ferry Village which was a small fishing community just east of Southampton.

I haven't been able to find a baptism for John around 1765 in any transcription for Hampshire so I believe he wasn't born in Hampshire, although TROD(D) is a local name.  Nor have I been able to find anything on the IGI.

If he was a mariner or fisherman, when he was younger, he could have originated from anywhere along the coast. 

I'm really stuck!  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you mean apart from these

Father Thomas Trodd Mother Elizabeth

John Trod C 23rd January 1763 Bishops Waltham Hampshire
Father John Trod  Mother Ann

John Trodd C 29th May 1763 Hursley Hampshire
Father William Trodd Mother Jane.

Thank you for those.

I think I have traced these and found they married other people, but I will double check.

Hi,

There is also

JOHN TRODD - International Genealogical Index / BI
Gender: Male Christening: 21 JUL 1762 Saint Maurice, Winchester, Hampshire, England

But I haven't been able to find a link to that one.

And it is earlier than the date of 1765 calculated from the 1841 Census.

Thanks

Ed

To Bearkat: Did any of the Trodd boys, namely William Charles TRODD who married a Fanny Louise BEAVIS turn up in your research on Itchen Ferry Village as William was my wife's Grandfather?

[bearkat]

Do you have a date of birth for William Charles TRODD?

Is he the son of Edward & Sarah?

This looks good!  Yes, he was.  Pete.
