as CasalG said - coupled with your info about parents, its the Sevenoaks lad, William Robert born Kemsing.

I just looked in WW1 records on Ancestry with no luck .....

I must say I had little trouble going back in a straight line with my tree but it has started to get a bit tricky now that I am trying to flesh it out a bit through other branches.

Ian,
My husbands greatx3grandfather Aaron Harris married a lady called Jemima bridger in Yalding in 1818.
One of the wedding witnesses was Richard Bridger ?father or brother unfortunately the record I saw did not give aname for the father of either bride or groom.
i noted on family search a jemima bridger of Yalding born in 1818 to richard and Martha and am assuming he is a brother- He would have been born about 1790.

SAlly,

I have a Richard Bridger born abt. 1790 in Penshurst, Kent. He was the son of John Bridger and Mary Hook. This couple had 10 children as far as I can make out.

I have very little information on him other than he was baptised 15 August 1790 at St John the Baptist Church in Penshurst, Kent.

What other links have you found with the Bridger family?

Sorry nothing much -someone with a tree posted on Ancestry say Jemima has  brothers James and Richard. and just put links in to placenames from Yalding to Hunton to lamberhurst but my Geography of the area is pretty limited.
